As the hardworking staff predicted several weeks ago, the Broadway production of Magic/Bird has fouled out early.
‘Magic/Bird’ to close on Broadway May 12
Shortly after the Tony nominations were announced on Tuesday and “Magic/Bird’’ wasn’t on the list of honorees, the producers of the Broadway production – which is about the rivalry between Magic Johnson and Larry Bird –announced that the show would end its run on May 12. “Magic/Bird’’ had its official opening at the Longacre Theatre on April 11. It stars Tug Coker as Johnson and Kevin Daniels as Celtics legend Bird.
[Y]ou’ve only got 10 more days to catch “Magic/Bird” on Broadway. The producers said yesterday the play about the bromance between Celtics legendLarry Bird and Los Angeles Lakers star Magic Johnson will close May 12.
But fear not, basketball bromantics – this play will likely turn up in any number of dreadful local productions from here to LA.
Meanwhile, file under: Air ball.
