Off-Broadway's White Chocolate to Close on January 30

William Hamilton's White Chocolate will end its run at the Century Center for the Performing Arts on January 30. At the time it closes, the comedy will have played 12 previews and 131 regular performances.

William Hamilton's White Chocolate is a satire that takes a look into the lives of two society patrons one Jewish, the other a blue-blood who are shocked one morning to find that their skin color has changed overnight. Reg E. Cathey, Gayton Scott and Lynn Whitfield star.

White Chocolate, directed by David Schweizer, opened off-Broadway on October 6. In his Broadway.com Review of the piece, Edward Karam wrote: "Under David Schweizer's direction, the material is presented as farce, though it veers frequently to high comedy. The best farces--Room Service, What the Butler Saw--are crammed with physical action that moves at increasing momentum to keep throwing off laughs, like a pinwheel of sparklers. But Hamilton's writing can be nuanced and aphoristic à la Noel Coward… Subtlety is at odds with the frenzy of farce, and it's possible to miss some of Hamilton's finer points."
