Almost Famous, the Broadway musical based on the film of the same name, will close in January.
The musical will play its final performance on Jan. 8, just three months after it began performances in October at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre. At the time of closing, it will have played 30 preview performances and 77 performances, according to producers Lia Vollack and Michael Cassel.
In a statement, Vollack and Cassel said, “Almost Famous, like the music it celebrates, will endure. We look forward to the release of the cast recording on March 17, and to the many productions in communities across the country and world, for years to come.”

The musical had its out-of-town world premiere at the Old Globe in San Diego, California, in 2019.
