Due to strong ticket demand, Delaware Theatre Company has extended the run of Diner by Barry Levinson and Sheryl Crow to January 3rd, adding an additional nine shows.
“I am beyond amazement when I look at over SEVEN sold out performances, all before we’ve officially opened,” says Executive Director Bud Martin. “Over 7,000 tickets have been sold for the run of the show, making this the second highest attended production in Delaware Theatre Company’s 37-year history, bested only by last season’s Because of Winn-Dixie.
“We are thrilled to bring the musical Diner to the Delaware Theatre Company,” says director and choreographer Kathleen Marshall. “Barry Levinson has taken his iconic characters from the movie and made their journey even deeper and richer. Sheryl Crow’s score is amazing – tuneful, exciting, driving and filled with surprises. We have a fabulous cast to bring this wonderful story to life, a story of a specific place and time and yet timeless in terms of its emotion, its humor and its essential humanity.”
The play from the well-known perform and the director of the hit movie, has regional appeal, since it is set in Baltimore in 1959.
