The show, about the struggles of pulling off a Broadway production whilst casting members of the mob, was the first Woody Allen film to be adapted into a stage musical. Producers of “Bullets” announced on Tuesday that the final St. James Theatre show will be on Aug. 24. While the film version was feted with seven Academy Award nominations, the musical adaption failed to impress critics and theatregoers. It was left empty handed at this year’s Tony Awards and audience attendance slumped following the April 10 opening – filling only 67 percent of the house seats. The $14 million musical’s poor attendance and early exit is likely to cost most or all of its capitalization, reports the _New York Times_. Lead producers, Letty Aronson (Woody Allen’s sister) and Julian Schlossberg, said in a statement on Tuesday, “We are tremendously proud of this show and every single person involved with it. It has been a true pleasure, and we know that ‘Bullets Over Broadway’ will have a long life in future productions to come.” Zach Braff took on the lead role as David Shayne, the playwright who makes a deal with the mob to get his play produced. John Cusack played the on-screen version of the writer in the 1994 film. \[[_LA Time_](http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/arts/culture/la-et-cm-bullets-over-broadway-closing-20140722-story.html)s\] ## Transcript [00:00] For your Late Night Highlight, actor Zack Braff was on [00:02] Late Night to talk about his latest movie, Wish I Was [00:05] Here. He plays main character, Aiden Bloom, a [00:07] struggling actor and father trying to find himself. The [00:11] movie was completely funded by his fans on [00:14] Kickstarter. And to thank them, he decided to make [00:16] personal video messages, and leave voice mails for his [00:19] supporters. He told Seth Meyers, one message request [00:22] was. A little weird. I had this one guy who's a dentist [00:25] and he wanted me to read, like a greeting for the [00:27] people in his waiting room. So I did it and I was like, [00:30] welcome to Dr. Shapiro's office. Yeah it was like hi I'm [00:32] Zach Braff please turn off your cell phone. Yeah that's [00:35] a little strange but probably not the craziest thing a [00:38] celeb has been asked to do. Zach co wrote the movie [00:41] with his brother Adam Braff and he also directed [00:43] [ UNKNOWN ] But as it turns out he's used to the [00:45] director's chair by now. Zach's also directed some [00:48] episodes of Scrubs, a TV movie and the film Garden [00:51] State according to IMDB. Thanks for watching. I'm Mike [00:55] Sergeant. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3022326/bullets-over-broadway-shut-down-woody-allen-zach-braff/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3022326/bullets-over-broadway-shut-down-woody-allen-zach-braff/"},"headline":"\"Bullets Over Broadway\" to Shut Down Next Month","datePublished":"2014-07-23T09:41:23.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T08:01:03.036Z","description":"The musical is likely to take a $14 million hit","url":"https://time.com/3022326/bullets-over-broadway-shut-down-woody-allen-zach-braff/","keywords":["woody allen","broadway","Theater"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt5ffb69f00609387f/69869cc113c79fee89193317/483987051.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Stephanie Burnett","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/stephanie-burnett/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt5ffb69f00609387f/69869cc113c79fee89193317/483987051.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"\"Bullets Over Broadway\" Opening Night Celebration - Arrivals And Curtain Call","caption":"\"Bullets Over Broadway\" Opening Night Celebration - Arrivals And Curtain Call","creditText":"Walter McBride/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3022326/bullets-over-broadway-shut-down-woody-allen-zach-braff/","name":"\"Bullets Over Broadway\" to Shut Down Next Month"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Late-Night Highlight: Zach Braff’s Odd Request From A Dentist","description":"Actor Zach Braff told ‘Late Night’ host Seth Meyers he received an odd request from a fan who helped fund his new movie ‘Wish I Was Here.’","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/H3mq1bBc/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2014-07-22T11:23:27.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/H3mq1bBc.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/3022326/bullets-over-broadway-shut-down-woody-allen-zach-braff/","duration":"PT58S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/3022326/bullets-over-broadway-shut-down-woody-allen-zach-braff/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
