“Ann,†Holland Taylor’s solo show about the former Texas governor Ann Richards, will close on June 30 at Lincoln Center’s Vivian Beaumont Theater, several months before its scheduled closing date of Sept. 1, the show’s producers announced on Wednesday. Directed by Benjamin Endsley Klein, “Ann†opened on Broadway in March to mostly positive reviews and was extended once. But weekly grosses never surpassed $400,000, and in recent weeks it never played to more than 50 per cent of its capacity at the Beaumont.
Ms. Taylor was nominated for a leading actress Tony Award for her performance, but lost to Cicely Tyson of “The Trip to Bountiful†when the awards were handed out on Sunday. When it closes “Ann†will have played 19 previews and 132 regular performances. The show toured before coming to New York, and producers indicated that future productions are likely but announced no details.
