The musical, which is based on an NBC television series, is cutting its open-ended run at the Imperial Theatre short after opening April 10. Robert Greenblatt, Neil Meron and Steven Spielberg are producers on the musical, which features direction by Susan Stroman and a score by Hairspray’s Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman.

This is the first show to post a closing notice after the Tony Awards took place June 8. Smash was nominated for two Tony Awards, for best featured actor for Brooks Ashmanskas and for best choreography, but did not take home any awards. The show also...

Smash has become the first Broadway show to close following a 2025 Tony Award shut out. The musical will play its final performance on Sunday, June 22, after 32 previews and 84 regular performances at the Imperial Theatre.

Nominated for two Tonys – Best Performance by an Actor in a Featured Role in a Musical (Brookes Ashmanskas) and Best Choreography (Joshua Bergasse) – the musical took home no awards. In the week leading up to the June 8 Tony ceremony, Smash filled only 66% of available seats, with a gross of $656,161.

Producers Robert Greenblatt, Neil Meron and Steven Spielberg made the closing announcement today.

Tony Award nominee Betsy Wolfe, who originated the role of Anne Hathaway in the Broadway production of & Juliet, will play her final performance on October 20, she announced today on Instagram.

“I knew this day would eventually come and it would be a hard one. It is with a heavy, but full heart that I announce my final show at & Juliet will be October 20th, 2024,” she wrote.

“Playing Anne in & Juliet has been a lifelong dream come true. Before this show people would ask “what’s your favorite role” and I’d often say “it hasn’t been written yet.” Then I read the hilariously moving script by David West Read and the rest is history.

I perform every single night with a grateful heart knowing how blessed I am to play the incomparable Anne, alongside my amazing castmates, current and past, and for so long.

I’ve been a part...
