Steel Magnolias will play its final performances this week at the Lyceum Theatre (149 West 45th Street, east of Broadway), with the show set to close on Sunday, July 31st at 8 PM after 23 previews and 136 regular performances. The show's last performance will benefit The Actors' Fund of America.

Directed by Jason Moore, Robert Harling's Steel Magnolias opened on Broadway on Monday, April 4, 2005.  The show stars Delta Burke as Truvy, Christine Ebersole as M'Lynn, Rebecca Gayheart as Shelby, Marsha Mason as Ouiser, Lily Rabe as Annelle and Frances Sternhagen as Clairee.

Steel Magnolias "follows the lives of six indomitable Southern women as they share their personal triumphs, tragedies, beauty tips, recipes, and more than the occasional piece of scandalous gossip in Truvys beauty shop in Chinquapin, Louisiana." The show's original long-running off-Broadway production at the Lucille Lortel Theatre led to an acclaimed and popular 1989 film that starred Sally Field, Dolly Parton, Shirley MacLaine, Darryl Hannah, Olympia Dukakis and Julia Roberts.

Performances are Tuesday through Saturday evenings at 8pm, matinees Wednesdays at 2pm, Saturdays at 2pm and Sundays at 3pm.  Tickets for Steel Magnolias are available through Telecharge.com and by phone at (212) 239-6200, or in person at the Lyceum Theatre Box Office.  For more information about the special performance that benefits The Actors' Fund, call the Special Performance Line at (212) 221-7300 ext. 133 or visit www.actorsfund.org.
