Overview
- On Thursday, September 10, 2026, producers announced the Stephen Sondheim Theatre company will play its final performance on January 3, 2027.
- The Broadway engagement will close after 1,723 regular performances and 20 previews and has grossed more than $175 million while playing to over 1.5 million people.
- The show recouped its $17 million capitalization in 2024 and earned nine Tony Award nominations, driven by a book from David West Read and a pop score built on Max Martin songs.
- The current cast features Gianna Harris as Juliet with rotating leads including Paulo Szot and Joey Fatone, and producers sustained sales through rotating celebrity bookings and limited engagements.
- Producers say the brand will live on through an active touring company and international productions that have already played in 73 U.S. cities and nine countries, which should keep revenue and audience demand beyond the Broadway closing.
