CACTUS FLOWER to Close Off-Broadway April 24

Off-Broadway's CACTUS FLOWER will take its final bow on April 24. The revival opened on March 10. The cast includes: Jenni Barber (The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee), Emily Walton (August: Osage County), Maxwell Caulfield (Grease 2), Lois Robbins ("Ryan's Hope"), Anthony Reimer ("Rescue Me"), John Herrera (The Times, They are a Changin'), Robin Skye (Parade) and Jeremy Bobb (Is He Dead?). 

This hilarious romantic comedy follows Julian Winston (Caulfield), a handsome, middle-aged Park Avenue dentist and bachelor, who, to dodge commitment, tells his much younger girlfriend Toni (Barber) that he is married. When Toni demands to meet his wife he recruits his prickly nurse (Robbins) to play the part and love blossoms in the most unexpected places!

Cactus Flower premiered on Broadway in December 1965, where it was one of the biggest hits of the decade, playing 1234 performances and starred Lauren Bacall. It was then made into a blockbuster movie, directed by Gene Zaks, which introduced Goldie Hawn and also starred Walter Matthau and Ingrid Bergman. This production marks the first major revival of this fast-paced comedy.
