And We Thought the Company Had Trouble

After receiving four Tony nominations but failing to pick one up for Best Play, Lucy Prebble's multimedia experience Enron will close May 9th after only twenty two previews and fifteen regular performances.

Enron Opens on Broadway

Enron, a new play by Lucy Prebble about the Enron scandal of ten years ago, opened last night at the Broadhurst Theatre.  The reviews are in and they are decidedly mixed-to-negative.  The New York Times hated it, calling the writing redundant and trite and the production itself predictable, but Variety magazine loved it.  Or, at least, loved the spectacle of it -- their critic didn't really comment as much on the writing or the script so much as the production itself.  We shall see if Goldman Sachs execs will line up for tickets.
