22 Previews, 16 reguläre Vorstellungen und zumindest mal vier Nominierungen für die begehrten Tony Awards (Original Score, Featured Actor Stephen Kunken, Lighting Design und Sound Design), damit wird die Broadwayproduktion “Enron”, die auf dem Finanzskandal aus dem Jahre 2001 beruht, in die Geschichte eingehen. Erfolg wird diese erste Laufzeit allerdings keiner mehr, denn am 9. Mai 2010 ist Schluss. [theatermania.com]

Rupert Goold, der Regisseur des Stückes, meint zur Schließung:

The really sad thing about the play’s closure is that, in directing it, I was really influenced by American showbiz and the Broadway musical, while Lucy [Prebble, the writer] was drawing on all the current great American TV drama. The Broadway cast felt that the text was really American, too – it didn’t feel as if we were bringing an English play over to the Americans.
And it’s sad that there was no consensus among audiences – some people, like the New York Times critic Ben Brantley, clearly found it problematic, but a lot of people raved about it.
Maybe it was a generational thing – in London, we were lucky to play to younger audiences. It’s a loud, fun, rock’n'roll show, so perhaps some people found that a little aggressive. It’s just a shame that now more New Yorkers won’t get a chance to decide for themselves. [guardian.co.uk]
