Curtain Comes Down on Star-Studded Broadway Shows

Editor's Note: Burn the Floor just announced it will close in January as well, on Jan. 10 instead of in February which was originally was announced.

Today will see the final curtain calls for three Broadway shows, most of them the ones with the big Hollywood names that have been selling seats this season on the Great White Way.

Taking their final bows today are Hugh Jackman and Daniel Craig in A Steady Rain, Julia Stiles and Bill Pullman in Oleanna and Sienna Miller and Jonny Lee Miller in After Miss Julie. Meanwhile, The Royal Family shutters next week on Dec. 13.

The scene changes don't end there. More closings are scheduled after the holidays: Shrek, the Musical (Jan. 3), Irving Berlin's White Christmas, Superior Donuts (Jan. 3), Burn the Floor (Jan. 6), The 39 Steps (Jan. 10), Bye Bye Birdie (Jan. 10), In the Next Room (or the vibrator play) (Jan. 10) and Wishful Drinking (Jan. 17) .

Stay tuned for openings, however. Fela! and Race are recent additions (look for reviews on this site shortly) and A Little Night Music with Angela Lansbury and Catherine Zeta-Jones opens next week. Coming in January: A View from the Bridge, Present Laughter and Time Stands Still.
