High Sinks

Wow, last rites for High, which is closing after only a few short weeks at the Booth Theatre. The numbers were poor during previews and the outlook was not hopeful after opening night earlier this week.  The business of Broadway can be brutal!!

High stars Kathleen Turner as a tough nun - Sister Jamison Connelly - who counsels a drug addicted teenager.  Of course, the teen has issues - son of a prostitute addict, raped as a boy, becomes a hustler. He is already dead inside and has no intentions of getting clean, but foul mouthed Sister Jamison, who has demons of her own (isn't that how it always is) makes an attempt.  Does Sister Jamison succeed?  Perhaps, it does not matter at this point because High has failed on Broadway.
