Mimi le Duck to Play Final Performance Dec. 3

After 28 previews and 30 regular performances, the Off-Broadway musical Mimi le Duck, starring Eartha Kitt, will close on December 3rd.

Mimi le Duck opened on November 6th after beginning previews on October 11th. 

The musical also stars Annie Golden (The Full Monty, Assassins), as well as Tom Aldredge, Candy Buckley, Robert DuSold, Allen Fitzpatrick, Ken Jennings, and Marcus Neville. 

Kitt (Nine, The Wild Party) plays a Parisian torch singer in the show, while Golden--who was previously seen in the show in 2004 when it played the Adirondack Theater and New York International Fringe festivals--plays the title role of Miriam, "a discontented Mormon housewife from Ketchum, Idaho, who, in a moment of desperate inspiration (and a visit from the ghost of Ernest Hemingway), packs her bags and moves to Paris, leaving behind her husband and her career as a duck painter for QVC," according to New World Stages notes.

Mimi le Duck features music by Brian Feinstein, with music and lyrics by former congresswoman and children's book scribe Diana Hansen-Young.   Thomas Caruso stages the musical.  Aruba Prods., Ken Denison and Fishman (Bingo) serve as executive producers and general managers.
