Dateline: 15th October, 2003 Money to Burn Closes and Henry Is Cancelled The new musical Money to Burn, which previewed at The Venue in Leicester Square from 29th September and opened on 9th October, has closed. The decision to close it was made after terrible reviews (a "Woefully misbegotten enterprise": Michael Billington) and the run finished after the 6.30 performance on 11th October. The Barbican has announced the cancellation of Henry IV Part I by the New York City Players, which was booked from 11th to 15th November as part of the BITE:03 season. The production received bad notices - and demands for money back - when it played at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. Variety described it as "risibly bad Shakespeare" and staff at the Acdemy estimated that a fifth of the audience walked out. A statement for BITE:03 said, "Having now had the opportunity to attend early performances of Henry IV Part One in New York, we do not feel that it is appropriate for inclusion in the Barbican's programme." Tickets are no longer on-sale and money will be refunded to those who have already booked.
