Impressionism Delays Broadway Opening to March 24

Impressionism, which began performances on February 28, has announced a new opening date. Michael Jacobs’ play, directed by Jack O’Brien, was scheduled to open on March 12 and will now open on March 24 at Broadway’s Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre.

“We did not give Jack O’Brien and our extraordinary creative team and company enough time to fully prepare Michael Jacobs’s new play for Broadway,” said producer Bill Haber in a statement. He added, “Impressionism is a world premiere on Broadway, which has not been work-shopped or played out of town. We are working hard in previews and we need more time to get the show finished for the official opening.”

Impressionism is the story of a world traveling photojournalist and a New York gallery owner who discover each other and also that there might be an art to repairing broken lives.

The play stars Jeremy Irons and Joan Allen and features Marsha Mason, André De Shields, Michael T. Weiss, Aaron Lazar, Margarita Levieva and Hadley Delany.

The performance schedule will remain unchanged, except for the March 9 performance, which has been canceled to allow more time for rehearsal.
