"Hair," "Red" and "Sondheim" Shut Down on Broadway

It's the time of year when shows wrap up their run on Broadway (except for the ones that continue, of course), and today marks the final performance for three shows.

Hair, which won for Best Revival of a Musical last year, ends its free-wheeling run today. The show featured two American Idol contestants - Ace Young and Diana DeGarmo.

Also shutting down today is Red, which won six Tonys at this year's ceremony. Alfred Molina starred in the play about the life of abstract-expressionist painter Mark Rothko.

And since these things always happen in threes (or is that famous people dying?), another show ends today - Sondheim on Sondheim, a musical revue of the work of composer-lyricist Stephen Sondheim.

But don't worry, there are more shows where that came from, and at least one show - Hair - is about to begin a nationwide tour.
