If anyone is planning a Broadway trip over the holidays, this is truly a chance to catch 'em before they close. According to a story that ran in the The Daily Telegraph today, 15 Broadway shows are about to be shuttered, including Grease, Young Frankenstein, Hairspray, 13 and Boeing-Boeing on January 4. The pain hits close to home, too. Boeing-Boeing, produced in part by Dallas Summer Musicals and Michael Jenkins, has been a great source of pride here after winning two Tony Awards, one for Best Revival of a Play and one for Best Performance of a Leading Actor in a Play for Mark Rylance. Up on the following week's chopping block: Spring Awakening and Monty Python's Spamalot. Even Daniel Radcliffe is stripping for half-empty houses in Equus (which is scheduled to close in February). And if you want deals for family shows, Disney is offering a Kids Go Free! deal for The Lion King, Mary Poppins and The Little Mermaid for three months after January. E-mail entry: |
