The Broadway Play,"High," Closes Today

High, a Broadway play starring Kathleen Turner, closes today after only twenty-eight off-Broadway previews and eight Broadway performances.  Reviews of the play were mixed and the box office receipts were disappointing.  The only thing that everyone agreed upon was that the star, Kathleen Turner, is still capable of a great performance even in what many consider to be inferior material.  Some called the production a "boulevard play."  An Internet commentor named “wim” said, “A "boulevard play" is a so-so play that is only produced because some major late-career actor sees an opportunity for a big (essentially solo) star vehicle where the play itself won't get in the way.”


High is the story of a rough-edged Roman Catholic nun who has a crisis of faith while working with a drug addict.  Here is the link if you wish to read the article.
