'Diner' Broadway opening pushed to fall

The musical based on the film "Diner" has postponed its Broadway opening, The Associated Press reports.

Producers said late Sunday night that the Kathleen Marshall-directed show with songs by Sheryl Crow will make its debut on Broadway in the fall, instead of the spring.

Producer Scott Zeiger in a statement said a four-week workshop of the show in November got good feedback and that early fall dates work better for all involved.

Set in Baltimore on Christmas 1959, the story explores the lives of a circle of friends in their early 20s. Barry Levinson, who wrote and directed the 1982 film, adapted it into the new musical.
