On June 22, 2025, Broadway will see the curtain close on three notable productions: The Last Five Years, Smash, and Floyd Collins, each leaving their mark on the New York theatre scene.
The Last Five Years, which premiered on April 6, 2025, at the Hudson Theatre, is set to take its final bow after 19 previews and 89 regular performances.
This groundbreaking production, directed by Tony Award Nominee Whitney White, stars Nick Jonas and Tony Award winner Adrienne Warren.
The story artfully captures the complexities of a romantic relationship over five years, depicted through a unique narrative structure where one character starts at the end and the other at the beginning.
With a runtime of 90 minutes, the musical immerses audiences in the exhilarating highs and lows of love in New York City.
The production featured an exceptional team, including choreography by Tony Award nominees Jeff Kuperman & Rick Kuperman and scenic design by Tony Award winner David Zinn.
Costume design was helmed by Tony Award winner Dede Ayite, alongside lighting design by Stacey Derosier and sound design by Tony Award winner Cody Spencer.
Mia Neal, an Academy Award winner, contributed to the wig and hair design, while the music direction was managed by Tom Murray.
Cody Renard Richard served as the production stage manager for the show, which was general managed by Baseline Theatrical’s Andy Jones and James Hickey.
Meanwhile, Smash, which opened at the Imperial Theatre on April 10, 2025, is also set to conclude its run today following 32 previews and 84 regular performances.
Directed by the highly acclaimed Susan Stroman, this musical adaptation of the popular television series features an impressive cast, including 2025 Chita Rivera Award winner Robyn Hurder as ‘Ivy’ and three-time Tony nominee Brooks Ashmanskas as ‘Nigel’.
Krysta Rodriguez, John Behlmann, Kristine Nielsen, and Caroline Bowman also star in significant roles, alongside a talented ensemble that rounds out the cast.
The score boasts works from Tony, Emmy, and two-time Grammy winners Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman, who created numerous songs for the television show and composed new material for the stage.
The book, crafted by Broadway veterans Rick Elice and Bob Martin, is embellished with vibrant choreography by two-time Tony-nominated Joshua Bergasse, who also choreographed the original series.
Smash invites audiences into the whirlwind of Broadway’s backstage antics as a team grapples with the pressures leading to the opening night of Bombshell, a dazzling musical centered on the life of Marilyn Monroe.
Throughout its run, the show garnered critical attention for its combination of humor, music, and the trials faced in the pursuit of theatrical success.
Finally, Floyd Collins is set to end its limited engagement at the Vivian Beaumont Theatre after 26 previews and 72 regular performances today.
The closing of these productions comes as no surprise, as June is a common month for shows to conclude their runs on Broadway.
The Hudson Theatre will soon welcome Waiting for Godot, and the Vivian Beaumont Theatre will host Ragtime.
As for the Imperial Theatre, it currently does not have a new act lined up following the departure of Smash.
Broadway enthusiasts can look forward to exploring an extensive lineup of upcoming shows as the theatre district continues to evolve.
