Broadway isn't easy. The songs and slogans about the city hasn't changed and in fact, it's much more truthful today, in 2015, than when Frank Sinatra wrote— "If I can make it there, I'll make it anywhere. It's up to you, New York, New York,"
The critically-acclaimed new musical, Honeymoon in Vegas, will play its final performance at Broadway’s Nederlander Theater (208 West 41st Street) on Sunday, April 5, 2015, the show’s producers announced today.
