Public Theater's 'Tempest' Musical Closes Central Park Run Before Renovations

The Public Theater produced a musical version of "The Tempest" as part of its Public Works series.
The show featured both professionals and non-professionals and emphasized farewell themes.
The first half was an effective musical adaptation, but the second half felt rushed.
While imperfect, the charm and community message made it impactful.
The show closed the Delacorte Theater ahead of upcoming renovations.
