The latest round of Broadway closings hits this Sunday, most of them scheduled, but two, Finian's Rainbow and Ragtime, have been added recently. At this rate, it will be interesting to see whether any of the 2009-2010 Tony Award winners next June are still open when the awards are announced....
Closing after the Sunday, Jan. 3 performance are Superior Donuts, and Shrek, the musical .

I am heartbroken that "Finian" is closing! I have wanted to see it ever since I heard about the Encores. (Actually, I've wanted to see a good version ever since the opening night of the previous attempt at a revival, which tried out in Cleveland and died on the road.) This revival sounded simply fantastic, and I've wanted to see it a whole lot!
