Feb. 14 (UPI) -- Stage show David Byrne's American Utopia has extended its Broadway run for the final time with performances set to end on April 3.

The musical, held at the St. James Theatre in New York City, returned to Broadway in September and continued through December, as the COVID-19 pandemic shut down other performances.
