Complete schedule of Broadway closings

Learn about all the Broadway shows closing soon before they're gone for good.

Broadway closings aren't the most exciting part of New York theatre — no one likes to see a show they love go away. But it's good to stay updated on Broadway shows closing so you don't miss a musical or play on your must-see list. To make that easier, we've listed all the Broadway shows playing now and when their closing dates are, whether this year or next year. This article also includes a list of all the shows with no closing date set yet, so you know which ones you still have plenty of time to see.

Some shows come to Broadway for a strictly limited time and set their closing dates right away, so you can know from the start when to buy your tickets. Others start with open-ended runs but eventually close, and this article will be updated with the latest information as Broadway shows announce closings. The good news about Broadway show closings, though, is that there are always new Broadway shows opening, too. A great musical or play might eventually leave New York, but your next favorite show could be taking its place. Plus, there's always a chance for a Broadway revival down the line!

Broadway shows with no closing date set

Lots of plays schedule limited Broadway runs, setting a fixed start and end date before performances even begin. The norm for musicals, however, is an open-ended run, with performances continuing as long as people still see them. Some lucky few plays get extended runs, too. Below are all the shows currently playing open-ended runs, with no closing date announced. The Broadway shows in this section are listed in alphabetical order.

Thirty of his songs are the basis of & Juliet, a pop musical that was a major hit in London. The musical pairs these modern tunes with a classical story: what would happen if Juliet, of Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet, didn't die at the end of that play and instead went on a coming-of-age journey to Paris.
