I missed a couple last month — but this is the current list of musicals that are slated for closure on Broadway in the coming months and the last two months. Surprisingly, the drab A Little Night Music continues on with star Bernadette Peters having breathed new life into the show. Besides the shows listed below, the current musical most in danger of posting a closing notice is American Idiot, now running at less than 55% house but hanging in there with a huge publicity push (including an appearance on the recent America’s Got Talent)
August 22 – South Pacific – Closed – on tour
Sept 5 – Come Fly Away – Closed – tour to begin 5/11 in Chicago
Dec 12 – Scottsboro Boys – Closing
Jan 2 – Promises, Promises – closing with no replacement of stars
Jan 2 – Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson – closing
Jan 2 – Fela – closing
Jan 2 – West Side Story – closing – currently on tour
Jan 9 – In the Heights – closing – currently on tour
Jan 16 – Next to Normal – closing – currently on tour
