Honeymoon in Vegas, the new Jason Robert Brown/Andrew Bergman musical at the Nederlander Theatre, will end its run after 66 previews and 92 performances on April 5, 2015. The musical began its run November 18, 2014, and opened on January 15, 2015, after a 2013 run at New Jersey's Paper Mill Playhouse.

Honeymoon in Vegas stars Rob McClure, Brynn O'Malley, and Tony Danza, with David Josefsberg, Nancy Opel, and Matthew Saldivar. Additional cast members include Matt Allen, Tracee Beazer, Grady McLeod Bowman, Barry Busby, Leslie Donna Flesner, Gaelen Gilliland, Albert Guerzon, Raymond J. Lee, George Merrick, Jessica Naimy, Zachary Prince, Catherine Ricafort, Jonalyn Saxer, Brendon Stimson, Erica Sweany, Cary Tedder, and Katie Webber.

Gary Griffin directs the production, with choreography by Denis Jones. The creative team includes Anna Louizos (scenic design), Brian C. Hemesath (costume design), Howell Binkley (lighting design), Scott Lehrer and Drew Levy (sound design), Don Sebesky, Larry Blank, Jason Robert Brown, and Charlie Rosen (orchestrations), Tom Murray (musical director), Charles G. LaPointe (hair and wig design), and Kathy Fabian/Propstar (props).

Inspired by the film comedy of the same title (which featured a screenplay by Bergman), the musical stars McClure as the commitment-phobic Jack Singer, who travels to Sin City to elope with his longtime girlfriend Betsy (O'Malley) and escape the curse of his long-dead mother. Complications ensue with the arrival of Tommy Korman (Danza), a widowed gambler who takes a shine to Betsy on account of her resemblance to his late wife.
