Closed Broadway Shows
Broadway shows can not perform forever, while sometimes people wish they did, Broadway productions are all about the money, and the shows on the list below were no exception to this rule. This page shows a list of all the Broadway shows that have been closed. Broadway shows close for many different reasons, most of the time it is due to lack of ticket sales and revenue, as it is tough for Broadway shows to turn a profit. If show producers are having a tough time filling theatre seats or Broadway ad agencies have trouble marketing a show, Broadway theatre landlords will end their sit-down contract and throw the show out with the hopes of finding and hosting the next big show on Broadway. That being said, ticket sales are not the only reason why these Broadway shows close down. Key actors or actresses can get injured or sick during the production and sometimes, key show actors or actresses move on to perform in other gigs during the performance schedule. Sometimes they have movies scheduled during the Broadway show schedule, which can force the Broadway production to close down. In other scenarios, shows may be only a limited-time run engagement and have set plans to close on a predetermined date. Often, Broadway shows will go on tour after they close, but this can be tough because the production team has to raise enough interest in the show and raise more production capital to be able to do so. Typically, at the end of a Broadway show run, ticket sales are brisk and fans rush to see the show before it closes. This is especially true when the show is not going on tour and discount ticket offers are usually cancelled for the last couple of weeks because of this. Either way, below is a graveyard list of all the dead Broadway shows. Scroll down and click on any of the shows below to learn more about them, what years they were in production and what they were about.
