Tony Award winner Dick Van Dyke has cancelled the production of his autobiographical show Step in Time – A Musical Memoir at the Geffen Playhouse, which had been scheduled to run until January 16, due to an achilles injury.

“I very much wish that circumstances allowed me to share my stories at the Geffen this winter,” said Van Dyke in a statement. “Unfortunately, this injury is forcing me to be off my feet for a while. Perhaps there will be an opportunity to revisit this sometime in the future, but in the meantime, I thank everyone for their understanding and support.”

The Geffen Playhouse will be offering refunds to all patrons ticketed to the event as well as options to exchange into its other production, Broadway Holiday, or a season subscription production at no extra cost.
