The House of Blue Leaves Closes Up

The Broadway revival of John Guare's The House of Blue Leaves plays its final performance at Broadway's Walter Kerr Theatre. 

Centered on the Pope's 1965 visit to New York City, The House of Blue Leaves follows Artie Shaughnessy, a zookeeper who dreams of being a big-time songwriter, whose middle-class Queens existence is filled with colorful characters including his schizophrenic stay-at-home wife Bananas, his vivacious mistress Bunny and an AWOL son with dreams of his own.
