The Broadway play "Dead Accounts," starring Katie Holmes and Norbert Leo Butz, will close on Jan. 6, 2013 -- seven weeks ahead of schedule. I am extremely proud of this production and the cast. Theresa Rebeck and Jack O'Brien have created an inspiring and hilarious new play and we are all sad to see "Dead Accounts" end on Broadway," producer Jeffrey Finn tells Us Weekly in a statement. I look forward to working with this remarkably talented cast and creative team again very soon.
