Broadway producer Terry Allen Kramer, whose credits include Kinky Boots, the 2017 Bette Midler Tony-winning revival of Hello, Dolly! and The Goat, or Who Is Sylvia?, died May 2 at New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell hospital in Manhattan. She was 85 and had been struggling with pneumonia since last month.
Her death was first reported by various publications in Palm Beach, Florida, where Kramer’s estate, La Follia, made headlines last fall when it was listed for sale at $135 million, reportedly the most expensive American property ever listed. Kramer’s death was later confirmed by The New York Times.
Born Terry Allen to Wall Street investor Charles Allen Jr. and Rita Allen, Kramer produced her first Broadway show in 1974, the flop Good News. But I Love My Wife, in 1977, was a hit, and Kramer would go on to join a lengthy roster of producing teams for such shows as Sugar Babies (1979), Shadowlands (1990), Shogun...

These boots were made for Broadway, and that’s just where they’ll be — until the spring. Producers Daryl Roth and Hal Luftig said today that Kinky Boots, which won six Tony Awards including Best Musical in 2013, will close on April 7.
When the final curtain falls, it will have played 2,507 regular performances and 34 previews — good for the 25th-longest-running show in Main Stem history.
“When we first set out to make this show, we never could have imagined the success it would have here on Broadway and around the world,” said co-creators Harvey Fierstein and Cyndi Lauper, who became the first woman to win the Tony for Best Score. “We speak on behalf of the entire company when we say how grateful we are to the fans who have embraced our work across four continents, and counting.”
Based on the 2005 Miramax film written by Geoff Deane & Tim Firth, Kinky Boots tells the story of Charlie Price,...

Escape to Margaritaville will blow out its final flip-flop at Broadway’s Marquis Theatre July 1, closing shy of the four-month mark after its official March 15 opening. The Jimmy Buffett jukebox musical is planning a 2019 national tour.
The parrothead tuner, directed by Christopher Ashley, featuring Buffett’s beachy, breezy, rum-heavy musical reveries and with an ensemble cast headed by Paul Alexander Nolan, has been among Broadway’s lesser performers since opening to buzz-harshing reviews. With no Tony nominations, Margaritaville has been playing in recent weeks to roughly half-full houses and taking grosses around the third of potential.
The closing was announced by producers Frank Marshall, Mindy Rich, Anita Waxman, and Beth Williams. With the Sunday, July 1 performance, the show will have played 29 previews and 124 regular performances.
July won’t be entirely Buffett-less, though: Buffett himself will appear with the Broadway cast on PBS’ live broadcast of A Capitol Fourth from the West Lawn of the U.
