NEW YORK, May 5 (UPI) -- The Bridges of Madison County, a Broadway musical based on Robert James Waller's romantic novel, is to close May 18, producers announced.

Starring Kelli O'Hara and Steven Pasquale, the show will have played 137 performances by the time it wraps. It last week earned four Tony Award nominations, including a Best Actress in a Musical nod for O'Hara.
