Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812, a musical whose history is nearly as complicated as the Russian novel that inspired it, will close after the matinée performance on September 3rd at Broadway’s Imperial Theatre.

Just because she’s back on American soil doesn’t mean all is well: She’s dealing with the aftermath of a presidential election, and the entire season will take place between Election Day and…
