'Grease' Will Be Gone in January
Reporting this type of news is starting to get depressing: Playbill reports that the Tony-nominated Broadway revival of Grease will close Jan. 4, 2009. Grease is just the latest casualty in what has become a daily dose of bad news for Broadway, where other shows like Boeing Boeing, Hairspray, Spamalot, and several more have announced closing dates.
When it closes, Grease will have played 31 previews and 554 regular performances at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre. The musical was nominated for a 2008 Tony Award for Best Revival of a Musical.
Grease producer Nick Scandalios in a statement:
Taylor Hicks (American Idol) currently stars as Teen Angel in the national tour of Grease.
