This weekend, we sadly say goodbye to three groundbreaking productions as they take their final bows: AN ACT OF GOD, THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE DOG IN THE NIGHT-TIME and LES MISERABLES.

In An Act of God, Emmy Award winner Sean Hayes starred in this sinfully funny and critically acclaimed new play where the Almighty and His devoted Angels answer some of the deepest questions that have plagued mankind since Creation. He finally returned to set the record straight... and he did not hold back! This production will be ending its blessed 14-week limited engagement at the Booth Theatre (222 West 45th Street) on Sunday, September 4th.

THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE DOG IN THE NIGHT-TIME transferred to London's West End, following a sold-out run at the National's Cottesloe Theatre in 2012. Fifteen-year old Christopher has an extraordinary brain; he is exceptionally intelligent but ill-equipped to interpret everyday life. When he falls under suspicion for killing his neighbor's dog, he sets out to identify the true culprit, which leads to an earth-shattering discovery and a journey that will change his life forever. The production will close on Sunday, September 4 at the Barrymore Theatre, 243 West 47th Street. As of September 4, the show will have played 23 previews and 800 regular performances (including 1 Actors Fund performance) since it opened on October 5, 2014 (previews began September 10, 2014).

LES MISERABLES has returned to Broadway's Imperial Theatre in an acclaimed new production that has audiences leaping to their feet. Set against the backdrop of 19th-century France, LES MIZ is an unforgettable story of heartbreak, passion, and the resilience of the human spirit, that has become one of the most celebrated musicals in theatrical history. Cameron Mackintosh's production of Claude-Michel Schönberg & Alain Boublil's legendary musical will end its acclaimed two-and-a-half-year return to Broadway this Sunday, September 4, 2016 at the Imperial Theater (239 West 45th Street) after 1,024 performances.

Join us as BroadwayWorld takes a look back at the run for these three amazing shows!


On March 30th, 2016, it was announced that Tony® nominee and Emmy® winner Sean Hayes will play God in the limited 14-week engagement of the hit Broadway comedy An Act of God at Broadway's Booth Theatre (222 West 45th Street) beginning May 28, 2016. David Javerbaum's comedy returns to New York after launching the 2015-2016 Broadway season in a sold-out, critically acclaimed run with Jim Parsons and a second Godly successful run starring Sean Hayes in Los Angeles.

LES MISERABLES' home, Broadway's Imperial Theatre, along with HAMILTON's marquee at the Richard Rodgers Theatre and Cleveland's Playhouse Square, dimmed their lights on September 1st, 2015, in honor of Kyle Jean-Baptiste.

Jean-Baptiste died on Friday, August 28 at the age of 21 after an accident at home, in which he fell off his mother's fire escape.

Kyle made history on July 23 when he became the first African American actor, and the youngest person ever, to play the lead role of 'Jean Valjean' in LES MISERABLES on Broadway.
