The Miracle Worker Will Go Dark; Final Broadway Performance Is April 4
By Andrew Gans
and Kenneth Jones
28 Mar 2010
The Broadway revival of William Gibson's The Miracle Worker, the tale of plucky young teacher Annie Sullivan and the deaf and blind child Helen Keller, will close April 4, the producers announced on March 28.
Good reviews for Oscar nominee Abigail Breslin ("Little Miss Sunshine") as Helen and Tony Award nominee Alison Pill (The Lieutenant of Inishmore) were not enough to stimulate ticket sales for the period piece about light coming to the darkness of a 19th-century Alabama child who would later inspire generations.
The revival directed by Kate Whoriskey (Ruined) opened at Circle in the Square March 3, placing the famed 1959 drama in-the-round. By close, the production will have played 21 previews and 38 regular performances.
Producers David Richenthal and Dini von Mueffling said in a statement, "We are saddened to announce that The Miracle Worker must close. Having the opportunity to share this powerful story with a new generation of theatergoers has been remarkable. We could not have asked for a more extraordinary cast, creative team and group of dedicated producers."
The producers put out an unusual statement on March 5, saying they would remain open despite soft sales.
In a March 5 statement, producer David Richenthal said, "While we are very proud to have received such positive reviews, and overwhelmingly unanimous praise for our leading ladies Abigail Breslin and Alison Pill, the box office has not ignited as we had hoped. But we will continue in good faith with a call to arms for anyone who has been waiting to see it to act now. …If we don’t witness a significant increase in the box office over the weekend we will need to take a close look at our ability to keep the production open."
Breslin stars as Helen Keller in the true story about the angry and chaotic Helen, the blind and deaf Alabama girl who cannot be controlled by her Victorian parents. Enter 20-year-old Annie Sullivan, played by the doll-eyed Pill, the brash Boston teacher who does battle with Helen and brings forth a transformation that helped make Keller an international symbol of overcoming adversity.
Whoriskey (who shepherded Lynn Nottage's Fabulation and Ruined regionally and Off-Broadway) directs the 50th anniversary production. On three different levels on the oval stage of Circle in the Square — Broadway's only in-the-round venue — Annie and Helen violently wrestle in an effort to bring language to the girl's dark world. (Sometimes furniture gets in the way of their feuds, and sometimes not — Whoriskey suspends set pieces from cables and raises and lowers them as needed.)
Annie also fights with the Kellers, who have treated Helen as a kind of "pet." The teacher seeks to break through to the girl by separating her from her overly protective parents and connecting hand signals to objects and people around her.
Set in Alabama in the 1880s, The Miracle Worker, according to production notes, "tells the story of real-life blind and deaf Medal of Freedom winner Helen Keller, who suddenly lost her sight and hearing at the age of 19 months, and the extraordinary teacher who taught her to communicate with the world, Annie Sullivan."
The new Broadway cast of The Miracle Worker also includes Golden Globe and Emmy Award nominee Matthew Modine ("And the Band Played On," "Short Cuts," "Birdy," Hartford Stage's To Kill a Mockingbird) as Capt. Keller; Jennifer Morrison (Fox TV's "House M.D.") as Mrs. Keller; and Tony Award winner Elizabeth Franz (Broadway's Death of a Salesman, Morning's at Seven) as Aunt Ev, with Tobias Segal (The Cherry Orchard at BAM) as Helen's half-brother James, Daniel Oreskes (Billy Elliot) as an Alabama Doctor and Annie's mentor Dr. Anagnos, Michael Cummings (Joe Turner's Come and Gone) as Percy, Simone Joy Jones as Martha, Yvette Ganier (Gem of the Ocean) as Viney and Lance Chantiles-Wertz (The Widowing of Mrs. Holroyd) as the ghost of Annie's brother, Jimmie.

The original 1959 Broadway production famously starred Anne Bancroft as Irish-American Annie and young Patty Duke as Helen. It won six Tony Awards, including Best Play in 1960. They repeated their work for the film version, each winning an Academy Award. Duke later played Annie in a TV film of the work, with Melissa Gilbert as Helen. A theatrical sequel, Monday After the Miracle, also by Gibson, showed Helen and Annie as adults, dealing with very different issues. Gibson died in 2008.
Breslin is most widely known for playing the title role in the film "Little Miss Sunshine," for which she got an Academy Award nomination.
Pill was Tony-nominated for playing a lovestruck Irish terrorist in the dark comedy The Lieutenant of Inishmore.
The producers previously announced that ten-year-old actress Kyra Ynez Siegel, who has vision loss in one of her eyes, has been cast as the understudy to Breslin in the role of Helen.
The Miracle Worker is produced by David Richenthal, Eric Falkenstein, Randall L. Wreghitt, Barbara & Buddy Freitag/Dan Frishwasser, Joseph J. Grano, Jr., Mallory Factor, Cheryl Lachowicz, Martha Falkenberg, Bruce J. Carusi & Susan Altamore Carusi, Lynn Shaw, David & Sheila Lehrer; in association with Connie Bartlow Kristan, Jamie deRoy/Remmel T. Dickinson and associate producers Rosalind Productions, Inc. and Patty Baker/Anna Czekaj.
The creative team includes scenic designer Derek McLane, costume designer Paul Tazewell, lighting designer Kenneth Posner and hair designer Charles LaPointe. Physical coaching and movement is by Lee Sher. Rob Milburn and Michael Bodeen handle original music and sound designer.

Closing Date for ‘The Miracle Worker’
By PATRICK HEALY
After only 21 preview performances and 38 regular performances, the Broadway revival of William Gibson’s play “The Miracle Worker” will close at Circle in the Square Theater next Sunday, the producers David Richenthal and Dini von Mueffling said on Sunday. The show cost $2.6 million to mount and will close at a total loss to its producers and investors, a spokesman for the show said.
The story of a young Helen Keller (Abigail Breslin) learning to communicate under the guidance of her teacher, Annie Sullivan (Alison Pill), “The Miracle Worker” opened on March 3 to mixed reviews and never managed to attract much of an audience. The show’s grosses during full weeks of eight performances were uneven, ranging from $165,000 to $256,000.
Plans for the show drew attention in the theater industry last fall when Mr. Richenthal explicitly shared a viewpoint that many producers hold privately: “It’s simply naïve to think that in this day and age, you’ll be able to sell tickets to a play revival solely on the potential of the production to be a great show or on the potential for an unknown actress to give a breakthrough performance,” Mr. Richenthal told The New York Times. “I would consider it financially irresponsible to approach a major revival without making a serious effort to get a star.”
He chose Ms. Breslin, an Academy Award nominee for “Little Miss Sunshine” to play Helen, rather than a deaf or blind young actress, which some advocates for the disabled had sought. The show also starred Matthew Modine as Helen’s father, and was directed by Kate Whoriskey (“Ruined”).
In a statement on Sunday, Mr. Richenthal and Ms. von Mueffling said: “We are saddened to announce that ‘The Miracle Worker’ must close. Having the opportunity to share this powerful story with a new generation of theatergoers has been remarkable. We could not have asked for a more extraordinary cast, creative team and group of dedicated producers.”
Mr. Richenthal had secured financing this month to keep the show running through mid-April in hopes of capturing a share of the school vacation market. He then left New York to tend to health issues, leaving his decision-making authority about the show in the hands of his wife, Ms. von Mueffling.
In response to questions about why the show would not run until at least until mid-April, Ms. von Mueffling said in a statement: “David, our fellow producers and I had hoped to keep the show open until mid-April. In spite of additional advertising, ticket sales did not pick up as much as we thought they would. Closing is the only fiscally prudent choice, as difficult and sad a decision as it is. It was a collaborative decision, based on daily conversations with David and our other producers. Of course, we hope that our closing announcement will spur ticket buyers who have tarried to rush to our box office and allow us to continue to stay open more weeks!”

'Miracle Worker' to close
Broadway revival closes curtain on April 4
By GORDON COX
The Broadway revival of "The Miracle Worker" has given up holding out for a miracle. The production, which has struggled to attract auds since it began previews Feb. 12, will shutter April 4.
While B.O. was always on the low side, "Miracle Worker" has notably succeeded in attracting family auds, many with young children, to William Gibson's familiar 1959 play about Helen Keller and her teacher.
Soon after the show opened March 3 to a mixed bag of reviews -- including a couple of tepid ones from prominent papers -- producers made the unusual move of issuing a public appeal to theatergoers asking them to turn out for the production.
Although the show has seen weekly B.O. rise during school vacation weeks, receipts have never gotten much above $250,000.
Producers never confirmed the show's capitalization, but it was probably somewhere between $2 million and $3 million, as many plays are. Considering the brief length of the run and the low grosses, most if not all of that investment is likely lost.
Producing team of "Miracle Worker" includes David Richenthal ("Finian's Rainbow"), Eric Falkenstein and Randall L. Wreghitt, among others. Kate Whoriskey ("Ruined") helms a cast that includes Abigail Breslin (as Helen) and Alison Pill (as teacher Annie Sullivan).

Set in Tuscumbia, Alabama in the 1880s, THE MIRACLE WORKER tells the story of the young Helen Keller, who became blind and deaf after a childhood illness, and the extraordinary woman, Annie Sullivan, who taught her to communicate with the world.
THE MIRACLE WORKER features scenic design by Derek McLane, costume design by Paul Tazewell, lighting design by Kenneth Posner, original music and sound design by Rob Milburn & Michael Bodeen, hair design by Charles LaPointe, and physical coaching and movement by Lee Sher.

Broadway to shutter box office disappointments 'The Miracle Worker' and 'All About Me'
Thu, Apr 1st 2010 5:17 pm EST
By Allison Reitz
March was a boom month for Broadway, which saw an influx of shows parading onto the Great White Way in time for spring. But for a couple of the season's newest shows, boom quickly turned to bust as lagging ticket sales led to announcements of early shuttering.
Final bows will come April 4 for two productions at opposite ends of the entertainment spectrum -- a revival of the historical drama "The Miracle Worker," and the new musical revue-style comedy "All About Me."
"The Miracle Worker" was one of the first new arrivals of the spring season and opened March 3 to mixed reviews at Circle in the Square after 21 preview dates. But on March 28, producers announced that the show had failed to meet box office expectations and would therefore shutter on April 4, after only 38 regular performances and four months before its originally scheduled August 1 close.
The 50th anniversary staging was driven by the star power of female leads Abigail Breslin and Alison Pill, praised for their respective portrayals of Helen Keller and Anne Sullivan. But legit critics were less kind to the production as a whole, which was staged in-the-round for the first time.
"The Miracle Worker" fared well with audiences, maintaining about 80 to 90 percent capacity during previews. Only in the latter weeks of March did attendance dip below the 70 percent mark. But weekly receipts for the show rarely surpassed the $200,000 mark and caused early concern for producers.
Only two days after the show opened, producer David Richenthal released an usual statement that aimed to increase box office draws. The statement read, in part, that "...the box office has not ignited as we had hoped. But we will continue in good faith with a call to arms for anyone who has been waiting to see it to act now."
However, Richenthal closed with a forewarning: "If we don’t witness a significant increase in the box office over the weekend we will need to take a close look at our ability to keep the production open."
A temporary boost followed, with draws for the week ending March 14 totaling $236,564, according to numbers compiled by the Broadway League. But the effect was not lasting, as receipts declined below the $200,000 mark for the two subsequent weeks, resulting in the producers' cancellation announcement on March 28.
"All About Me," a farcical battle that pit pianist Michael Feinstein against the fiery Dame Edna (played by Barry Humphries), did not fare any better. In fact, the production's fate was shaky from the start, and by the time it shutters on April 4, it will have endured just 27 previews and 20 regular performances.
The limited engagement had been booked at Henry Miller's Theatre through July 18. But producers announced on March 29 that they would cut the run short, a statement that came less than two weeks after the show's critically panned March 18 opening.
Even before legit critics penned their poor reviews, "All About Me" failed to capture much of a market among Broadway theater-goers. The first week of previews earned the biggest box office receipt of nearly $265,800, but that total steadily declined over each subsequent week, hitting a low of about $197,900 during the week of its opening night.
During the final week of March, "All About Me" did experience a receipt rebound with a $216,423 total, as reported by the Broadway League. But that increase in revenue was not mirrored by attendance, which plummeted to a mere 41 percent capacity, and notice of the early shuttering followed soon thereafter.

The Miracle Worker Ends Broadway Run
By Kenneth Jones and Andrew Gans
04 Apr 2010
The Broadway revival of William Gibson's The Miracle Worker, the tale of plucky young teacher Annie Sullivan and the deaf and blind child Helen Keller, ends its run April 4.
Good reviews for Oscar nominee Abigail Breslin ("Little Miss Sunshine") as Helen and Tony Award nominee Alison Pill (The Lieutenant of Inishmore) were not enough to stimulate ticket sales for the period piece about light coming to the darkness of a 19th-century Alabama child who would later inspire generations.
By close, the production will have played 21 previews and 38 regular performances.

Enter 20-year-old Annie Sullivan, played by the doll-eyed Pill, the brash Boston teacher who does battle with Helen and brings forth a transformation that helped make Keller an international symbol of overcoming adversity.
