The decision was made by the producer Allt things live. Those who had already bought tickets received the message on Monday in an email.

The premiere was supposed to take place at Nya Cirkus in January and the email cites "unforeseen events" as an explanation, but according to information to QX, it is due to poor ticket sales.

Mart Crowley's play had its world premiere off Broadway in 1968, and depicts a group of gay friends gathering for a birthday party in a spacious apartment in New York.

The play was groundbreaking in a time when homosexuals often only dared to be themselves in closed rooms, but since its world premiere, it has been performed many times on the world's theater stages (including in Malmö in 1970), and has also been made into both a film and a Netflix production. The production in Stockholm would have been directed by Edward af Sillén.
