Long Wharf Theatre Adds Performance for SHIRLEY VALENTINE, 1/2

Due to tremendous audience response, Long Wharf Theatre has added an extra performance of Shirley Valentine, by Willy Russell, directed by Gordon Edelstein, and starring Tony Award-winner Judith Ivey. The additional performance will take place Sunday, January 2 at 7 p.m.
 
Tickets are currently on sale for this special performance and range from $40-$65.
 
Shirley Valentine has been a hit with both critics and audiences alike. "(Judith Ivey) is also thoroughly likeable and often delightful, one with whom an audience would enjoy spending a few hours," praised Frank Rizzo in the Hartford Courant.
 
"When (director Gordon Edelstein) does comedy - even dark-tinged human comedy like this one - he ... lets the light shine in big time. And, as Shirley Valentine, Judith Ivey sure knows how to step out into the light," said Chris Arnott in the New Haven Advocate.
