Elton John hasn’t had many flops in his long career. But the Broadway production of Tammy Faye, the musical he’s written with Jake Shears of the Scissor Sisters is undoubtedly one – it’s closing after just five days.
The show, based on the life of evangelist Tammy Faye Bakker, originally ran for two months in London’s West End in 2022. It was reviewed positively and transferred to Broadway this autumn, with opening night last week.
