James Earl Jones in On Golden Pond

New YorkOn Golden PondJones' doctors determined that "the seriousness of recuperating from pneumonia would prevent his return until sometime in August," according to a statement. "The entire On Golden Pond family is heartbroken to close this production prematurely," said producer Jeffrey Finn in a statement, "and it's especially disappointing that James Earl Jones won't be with us for our final performances. Unfortunately, when we take a hard look at the financial reality of running several more weeks without him, closing is our most responsible decision. We all wish James Earl as swift a recovery as possible."The play saw a drop in ticket sales after Jones missed performances.
