Water for Elephants
“Water for Elephants,” the Broadway adaptation of Sara Gruen’s best-selling novel, will conclude its run at the Imperial Theatre on December 8. By closing night, the production will have delivered 301 regular performances and 25 previews, following its official opening on March 21, 2024, after previews began on February 24.
Directed by Tony Award nominee Jessica Stone, the show brings to life Gruen’s tale of love, resilience, and adventure set in a 1930s traveling circus. With a book by Rick Elice and music by PigPen Theatre Co., the cast includes Kyle Selig as Jacob, Isabelle McCalla as Marlena, Gregg Edelman as Mr. Jankowski, and Paul Alexander Nolan as August.
While its Broadway chapter ends, Water for Elephants is scheduled to embark on a national tour in fall 2025, debuting at Baltimore’s Hippodrome Theatre.
The Notebook
The Broadway musical adaptation of Nicholas Sparks’ The Notebook will take its final bow at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre on December 15. Since opening on March 14, following previews that began February 10, the production will have completed 35 previews and 317 regular performances.
With a book by Bekah Brunstetter and music and lyrics by Ingrid Michaelson, the musical tells the enduring love story of Allie and Noah, whose romance withstands numerous challenges.
Fans will have another chance to experience “The Notebook” when it begins its North American tour in fall 2025, starting in September at Cleveland’s Playhouse Square.
The Roommate
Directed by Tony Award winner Jack O’Brien, “The Roommate” began previews at the Booth Theatre on August 29 and officially opened on September 12. The production is scheduled to run through December 15 at the same venue.
Mia Farrow stars as Sharon, a reserved character experiencing life with a roommate for the first time. Patti LuPone portrays Robyn, a free-spirited woman whose rebellious history disrupts Sharon’s conservative way of life.
“The Roommate” premiered at the Humana Festival of New American Plays in 2015 at Actors Theatre of Louisville and was later staged at the Williamstown Theatre Festival in 2017.
Back to the Future
“Back to the Future: The Musical” is set to conclude its Broadway run at the Winter Garden Theatre on January 5.
Adapted from the 1985 film, the musical reimagines Marty McFly’s journey from 1985 to 1955. With a book by Bob Gale and music by Alan Silvestri and Glen Ballard, the production features original songs alongside classics like “The Power of Love” and “Johnny B. Goode.”
Despite its Broadway closure, the musical continues its North American tour. Premiering at Manchester Opera House in March 2020, it debuted on London’s West End in September 2021, winning an Olivier Award for Best New Musical. The Broadway production opened on August 3, 2023, earning two Tony nominations.
