As BroadwayWorld sadly reported yesterday, Bad Cinderella has announced that it will play its final Broadway performance on Sunday, June 4 at the Imperial Theatre. News of the musical's closing has even more significance considering that The Phantom of the Opera concluded its 35-year run last month.

June 5, 2023 will mark the first time that Broadway has been without a show by Andrew Lloyd Webber since 1979 (between closing of his first Jesus Christ Superstar revival in 1978 and opening of Evita in 1979). That's the first time in a whopping 44 years.

Lloyd Webber's first Broadway show, Jesus Christ Superstar, opened in 1971 at the Mark Hellinger Theatre.
