Much ado was made by Broadway fans when Kathleen Turner was chosen to star in this season’s comedy “The Third Story” at the Lucille Lortel theatre. The long-time television, film, and stage star is extremely well respected in Hollywood and in New York, and her re-appearance on Broadway was met with much excitement.

But many fans were sorely disappointed earlier in the week when Turner took a fall and injured her knee fairly severely. Three shows were cancelled this week while Turner was recovering and whispers began to spread that the show would be cancelled altogether. However, Turner announced on Friday that she would be returning this weekend with a leg brace and a cane after she was cleared by her doctors.

“Kathleen Turner personifies the attitude of the Broadway trooper,” said co-artistic director Bernard Telsey in a statement released today. “Against any odds, she must – and will – make her performance.”

Broadway ticket holders across the city rejoice!
