The off-Broadway revival of Jay Presson Allen's The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie starring Tony award-winner Cynthia Nixon has been extended until December 9, reports Playbill.com. The production, which was originally set to finish its run November 11, will begin on October 9 at the Acorn Theater in Theatre Row. Nixon, who is best known as Miranda Hobbes from the hit HBO series Sex and the City, won a Tony award for her performance in the Broadway run of David Lindsay-Abaire's Rabbit Hole last season. The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie is based on the 1961 Muriel Spark novel of the same name, which follows a colorful teacher who arrives at a Scottish girls' school in the 1930s.
