Broadway closing shows
The Broadway Blog reports that several long-running Broadway shows will be closing their doors at the beginning of the year. The first to be reported was Spamalot. Now two more shows will be closing down soon: Spring Awakening and Hairspray. These are all very well-liked and well-produced. They have received awards. But with the economy on a downturn and ticket sales not being that great recently anyway, it should be no surprise that such long-running shows will be on their way out of town. It is unfortunate, however, that good shows have to drop off. Earlier this month, Legally Blonde closed as well. This is a lot of shows to close for one season, but it’s understandable considering how well these have sold lately.
