Matthew Lombardo’s Looped, starring Valerie Harper as Tallulah Bankhead, will close at the Lyceum Theatre on Sunday, April 11. Directed by Rob Ruggiero, the production will have played 27 previews and 25 regular performances.

Looped takes place in a sound studio in 1965 to which Bankhead has been summoned to re-record (or “loop”) one line of dialogue for what would be her last film — Die, Die My Darling. Bankhead arrives for the session inebriated and ends up in a showdown with an uptight and conservative sound editor (played by Brian Hutchison). Michael Mulheren also appears in the show.

The creative team includes Adrian W. Jones (scenic design), William Ivey Long (costume design), Charles LaPointe (wig design), Ken Billington (lighting design), and Michael Hooker and Peter Fitzgerald (sound designer)
