\n\t\u201cBeaches\u201d began previews on March 27 and opened at the Majestic on April 22. Since then, the show has struggled to sell enough tickets to justify production costs. Reviews for \u201cBeaches\u201d were also mixed, and the musical failed to earn any Tony nominations.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cBringing a new musical to Broadway is always an enormous undertaking, and we are deeply proud of this company who created a production filled with heart, humanity, humor and emotional truth,\u201d said producer Jennifer Maloney-Prezioso. \u201cNight after night, audiences have laughed, cried, called their friends on the way out of the theater, and connected deeply with this story of friendship and love. That impact is real, and it will stay with people long after the final curtain. We are profoundly grateful to everyone who helped bring Beaches to life at the Majestic Theatre, and look forward to sharing this special show with audiences across America on our national tour.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBased on the 1985 novel by Iris Rainer Dart, \u201cBeaches, A New Musical\u201d chronicles the life-long friendship of two women from very different upbringings. Jessica Vosk and Kelli Barrett star as Cee Cee Bloom and Bertie White, respectively. The cast also features Sarah Bockel, Harper Burns, Eric Coles, Taylor Sage Evans, Mia Gerachis, Zeya Grace, Joelle Gully, Ben Jacoby, Stephanie Martignetti, Emma Ogea, Olive Ross-Kline, Bailey Ryon, Paul Adam Schaefer, Samantha Schwartz, Brent Thiessen, Lael Van Keuren and Zurin Villanueva.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cBeaches\u201d is co-directed by Lonny Price and Matt Cowart. Producers include Maloney-Prezioso, Ryan Bogner & Tracey McFarland for Broadway & Beyond Theatricals, Alison Spiriti & Justin Sudds for Right Angle Entertainment and Douglas McJannet for Arden Entertainment.<\/p>\n
