Recently, the producers of the Broadway revival of Promises, Promises (starring Sean Hayes and Kristin Chenoweth) announced that it will close on January 2. The New York Times quickly started speculating, and one of the lead producers, Beth Williams, responded.
According to Williams, it all comes down to the loss of Hayes and Chenoweth. While the production is expected to recoup its initial investment in the coming weeks, the cost involved in replacing the two leads would apparently be too much to handle. However, she does mention the possibility of putting the show out on tour.
