As my pal Zach Davis pointed out, quite a few shows shut down this week on Broadway - ironically, the same week that The Lion King passed Beauty and the Beast to take seventh place on the all-time list, and in three weeks The Phantom of the Opera celebrates its astonishing 23rd year on Broadway, setting a new all-time record every time the curtain goes up!
As for the shows closing this week, they include: Promises, Promises, Elf - the Musical, The Pee-wee Herman Show, West Side Story, Brief Encounters, Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, Bloody Andrew Jackson and Fela! (Hey, Zach - did I miss any?)
Don't worry, theatre fans - lots of new shows will soon take their place!
La Cage on Londons west end closed. lol...So many great shows ending. I believe Next to Normals run is ending soon as well.
