All The Broadway Shows You Wanted to Shut Down … Are

'First "Rent," then "Legally Blonde" and now "Hairspray." The show is closing its curtains on Broadway, with a final performance January 18. The producers say the closing has nothing to do with last year's strike, which put so many long-running shows in jeopardy. Instead, a rep for the production noted, "The show is six and a half years old, and the producers have decided it's the right time. We've had a great run, and we can't ask for much more." To go out on a high note, Harvey Fierstein is returning to his original role of Edna Turnblad — a role John Travolta played in the last film version — starting November 11.' [MTV]
