The Broadway Ferret

I think the best way to close out the year is to list all the Broadway and off-Broadway shows closing in January (as of this posting).  If you’re currently in NYC and want to see something other than a giant lighted tree (and I’m sure that there are a few people who come here just for that) or just anything for that matter, then I suggest seeing the following shows before they close for good.  Or until their revivals come around.  I have reviewed most if not all shows but if you’re looking for more info on them, check out my links.  Have a Happy New Year!
