Sidd to Close at New World Stages 3/26

The off-Broadway musical Sidd, based on the unlikely source of Herman Hesse's novel Siddhartha, will end its run at the New World Stages earlier than announced. It will be closing on March 26, instead of the previously announced July 1. At the time of closing, Sidd would have played a total of 23 previews and 13 regular performances.

The tuner opened on March 22 of this year to mostly negative reviews. In his Broadway.com review, William Stevenson wrote, "Like the book, the new musical traces an Indian man's path to enlightenment. Unfortunately, Sidd presents a long, dull, musically bland path to enlightenment…. [Doug] Silver's songs offer only snippets of melodies and then ramble on without much of a tune… Yes, for those who get a kick out of wrongheaded musicals like In My Life, Sidd has titter-inducing moments. Besides the silly choreography, the earnest musical also boasts some dopey dialogue and a few way-over-the-top performances."
