NEW YORK, Sept. 28 (UPI) -- The Tony Award-winning play "Peter and the Starcatcher" is to close Jan. 20, the producers of the Peter Pan origins story said Friday.

Directed by Roger Rees and Alex Timbers, the play began preview performances March 28, and opened April 15 at Broadway's Brooks Atkinson Theatre.

"All of us involved with this show are extremely proud of its remarkable run on Broadway,'" Nancy Gibbs, the play's lead producer, said in a statement. "When this journey began nearly 10 years ago, the path to Broadway seemed all but impossible to traverse. Well, not only did we make it, but we've enjoyed every unlikely and wonderful step along the way."
