Cherry Lane Theatre and the producers of the World Premiere of OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF BABES — a new comedy by Israel Horovitz (My Old Lady)– announce an extension with a new block of tickets on sale. Originally set to close July 17, OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF BABES will now play through July 31, 2016. The show will celebrate its opening June 19 at Cherry Lane Theatre (38 Commerce St.) in Greenwich Village. 
“Since we started performances on June 7, audiences have cheered our award–winning cast of uproariously funny women. Due to strong tickets sales and an overwhelmingly positive response from theatergoers, we are extending Out of the Mouths of Babes through the end of July.,” said Out of the Mouths of Babes Producer, Julie Crosby.
OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF BABES stars Oscar winner and 5-time Tony nominee Estelle Parsons, two-time Tony winner Judith Ivey, along with Angelina Fiordellisi (Zorba on Broadway opposite Anthony Quinn) and Francesca Choy-Kee (Disgraced). The play is directed by Barnet Kellman.
OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF BABES depicts what happens when four women arrive in Paris for the funeral of a 100-year-old man who loved each of them – at times variously, at times simultaneously. For 24 hours, they share his apartment, delicious secrets and a dead cat.
