"The cause for the delay is due to the need for one more night of technical rehearsals," according to a release. The show will start at the 2 PM matinee Feb. 17 instead of the previously announced Feb. 16 at 8 PM. The move will not affect the opening of March 8.

Patrons with tickets for the Friday evening performance will be contacted to exchange their tickets.
