Starry Terrence McNally Comedy It's Only a Play Extends Again on Broadway

There's no business like show business when it's going well! It’s Only a Play has extended once again on the Great White Way. Terrence McNally’s comedy, which recently moved to the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre, will now play through June 7; it had previously been set to shutter on March 29. Jack O’Brien directs.

It's Only a Play is set on the opening night of Peter Austin's new play, as he anxiously awaits to see if his show is a hit. With his career on the line, he shares his big first night with his best friend, a television star, his fledgling producer, his erratic leading lady, his wunderkind director, an infamous drama critic, and a wide-eyed coat check attendant on his first night in Manhattan.

The production currently stars Matthew Broderick, Martin Short, F. Murray Abraham, Stockard Channing, Katie Finneran, Maulik Pancholy and Micah Stock. No word yet on whether the current cast will be continuing in the show—Short, Finneran and Pancholy took over from Nathan Lane, Megan Mullally and Rupert Grint, respectively, on January 7.

It’s Only a Play officially opened on October 9, 2014 at the Schoenfeld Theatre.
