Amazing Grace to End Broadway Run

The new Broadway musical Amazing Grace will end its run at the Nederlander Theatre on October 25 after 114 performances and 24 previews. Directed by Gabriel Barre and written by Christopher Smith and Arthur Giron, Amazing Grace played a 2014 out-of-town tryout at Chicago's Bank of America Theatre and opened in New York on July 16.

The musical has also announced plans for a national tour, which is being planned by Troika Entertainment. Additional details on the tour will be announced at a later date.
