Tony Award-winning musical Hairspray is finally coming to an end on Broadway.
The hit show is expected to close in mid-January 2009.
Before its end, though, they’ll be welcoming back a familiar face, Harvey Fierstein, who won a 2003 Tony Award as Best Actor in a Musical for playing Edna Turnbald.
Fierstein will be returning to the Neil Simon Theatre between November and mid-January to help end the show with a bang.
Some are guessing (hoping) that Fierstein’s return and the announcement of the show closing might gather enough buzz and ticket sales to keep the musical running for a bit longer.
The show got some extra publicity as well when the 2007 release of the movie version came out, featuring hottie Zac Efron.
This August marked Harispray‘s sixth anniversary on Broadway.
We’re kind of sad to hear it’s leaving.
