NEW YORK, Nov. 16 (UPI) -- "The Performers," a new Broadway stage comedy starring Alicia Silverstone and Henry Winkler, is to close Sunday after seven performances, producers said. The porn-themed show also will have played 23 previews before it shuts its doors. The Hollywood Reporter said lackluster reviews and Hurricane Sandy slowed ticket sales for David West Read's romantic comedy, which is set at the Adult Film Awards in Las Vegas. Directed by Evan Cabnet, the play co-stars Cheyenne Jackson, Ari Graynor, Daniel Breaker and Jenni Barber.
