They say all good things must come to an end, and sadly, Broadway shows are no exception. Alas, it’s time for us to say farewell to some stellar shows on the Great White Way and beyond. But wait, there’s a silver lining! You still have a few more chances to catch Fish in the Dark, On the Twentieth Century, Darren Criss in Hedwig and the Angry Inch and more before they close up shop.
On the Twentieth Century
Closing July 19 at the American Airlines Theatre
The majestic Twentieth Century is only making a few more stops—and trust us, you don’t want to miss this train. From flashy dance numbers to hilarious performances by Kristin Chenoweth, Peter Gallagher and Andy Karl, the Tony-nominated revival about a movie producer who tries to get his former fling to star in his latest musical is a dazzling delight.

Darren Criss in Hedwig and the Angry Inch
Through July 19 at the Belasco Theatre
What do you do after spending five seasons starring on a hit TV series? Cover your face in glittery makeup, put on a Farrah Fawcett wig and come back to Broadway! There’s only a few more chances to catch Glee fave Darren Criss as internationally ignored song stylist Hedwig Schmidt before Taye Diggs steps into the heels, so get over to the Belasco for a car wash and a glittery kiss, stat.

Fish in the Dark
Closing August 1 at the Cort Theatre
Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm fans, the time is now. It’s your last chance to catch Fish in the Dark starring Jason Alexander, who recently succeeded the play's scribe Larry David as neurotic protagonist Norman. We’d say Alexander knows a thing or two about playing a neurotic protagonist—plus, he’s a beloved Broadway vet and yadda yadda yadda. Click for tickets!
It Shoulda Been You
Closing August 9 at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre
Got a craving for wedding cake? You’re invited to It Shoulda Been You, the madcap matrimonial musical starring Lisa Howard, Tyne Daly, Sierra Boggess, David Burtka and Harriet Harris. Come for the lighthearted musical comedy about a bridesmaid on her sister’s wedding day...and stay for the show’s wacky twist. Click for tickets!
