Gabriel Byrne’s Broadway solo show Walking With Ghosts will play its final performance on Sunday, November 20, a week shy of a month after its Oct. 27 opening at the Music Box Theatre.
The closing notice was announced today by producers Anne Clarke, Mara Isaacs, and Neal Street. The show had initially been scheduled to run through Dec. 30.
Adapted by Byrne from his best-selling memoir, Walking with Ghosts, directed by Lonny Price, began previews on Oct. 18 and opened to mixed reviews. The autobiographical one-man show has struggled at the box office, last week filling fewer than half of the venue’s seats and grossing just 168,378 for seven performances.
The show fared better in the U.K., playing sold-out engagements at the Gaiety Theatre in Dublin and in a limited run on London’s West End before making the move to Broadway.

Actor Gabriel Byrne will bring his solo show Walking with Ghosts to Broadway this Fall, with a limited engagement of the production, directed by Lonny Price, beginning performances on Oct. 18 at the Music Box Theatre.
The show officially opens on Thursday, Oct. 27 and runs for 75 performances only.
The production, adapted from Byrne’s memoir of the same name, was announced today by producers Anne Clarke, Mara Isaacs, and Neal Street.

I’ve chosen to be honest and unflinching in the recounting of a life from working class Dublin to Hollywood. Although rooted in the local, I hope the play has a universal resonance.”
