‘Shrek The Musical’ Broadway Curtains Closing
Posted on 25. Oct, 2009 by CSS in Broadway
Time to dim the lights on this ogre. After a nearly year-long run, Broadway’s Shrek The Musical will close on January 3.
On Wednesday, DreamWorks Theatricals producer Bill Damaschke announed that Shrek The Musical will close early next year after a 441-performance run. A national tour kicks off at The Cadillac Palace Theatre in Chicago in July. The show opened last December to mixed reviews.
Shrek, based on Dreamworks’ smash animated film franchise and the characters in William Steig’s book, has seen its weekly grosses dwindle since the end of summer, according to reports.
