THIS IS TERRIBLE news.
F.A.O. Schwarz, where this iconic scene from the film Big was filmed, is shutting its doors.
The New York Times reports that the massive toy shop will close on 15 July, with rising rents behind the decision.
The store is a destination for tourists who want to revisit the floor piano where Tom Hanks and Robert Loggia danced out the tune to Heart and Soul and Chopsticks.
The piano was eventually opened as an attraction, with visitors allowed to play on it. Store employees also performed tunes, and F.A.O. Schwartz sold a smaller take-home version of the toy.
Bloomberg reports that F.A.O. Schwartz is seeking smaller location, while Toys R Us stores will continue to sell its branded products.
