ROOM on Broadway to be postponed indefinitely

Due to a shortfall in capitalisation and following the withdrawal of a lead producer, the Broadway production of ROOM, which was scheduled to begin performances on 3 April at the James Earl Jones Theatre, has been postponed indefinitely.

Based on Emma Donoghue’s best selling novel and starring Adrienne Warren, the current production, which was in rehearsal, was shut down as of 16 March.

Producer Hunter Arnold said: “In the midst of our rehearsals we were informed by one of our lead producers that due to personal reasons, they did not intend to fulfill their obligations to the production. Since being notified, the rest of the producing team has exhausted all possible avenues to keep the show on track, but the narrow timeline and economic shortfall created by this series of events has proven to be insurmountable. We are incredibly disappointed not to be able to open this remarkable production at this time and are especially heartbroken for our incredibly talented cast and creative team who were hard at work in the rehearsal room.”  

Producers Sam Julyan and James Yeoburn stated: “We have been honoured to share the story of ROOM since its world premiere in 2017 in London and its subsequent productions in Dublin, Scotland, and Ontario.  We truly believe that today’s disappointing news will not be the end of ROOM on stage.”

All purchased tickets will be refunded and ticket buyers should return to point of purchase to process those refunds.

Sad news, Besties.
