GIGI Closing On Broadway!!!

Get ready for Broadway’s spring cleaning. After the Tony Awards, at least a couple shows close. While getting a Tony can boost a shows sales by 300%, leaving empty-handed can shut a production down. It seems that’s the case with Gigi- which will close on Broadway on June 21st. The show was only nominated for Best Supporting Actress (for Victoria Clark) and lost. Without a single award to it’s name, the musical couldn’t survive the summer. Vanessa Hudgens, who starred, was going to leave the show anyway to play Rizzo in Grease on FOX. Without her name on the billboard, the show’s a tough sell. Hudgens brought her fans (from High School Musical) but apparently it wasn’t enough. Most tourists are going to An American In Paris instead. While the show will shutter on Broadway, a National Tour is (as of now) still in the works.

First Look: VANESSA HUDGENS In GIGI

Vanessa Hudgens is on track to reinvigorate her faded career. She’s set for Fox’s live filming of Grease (she’ll play Rizzo), and now she’s one step closer to Broadway. Catch this first look at the High School Musical star in full costume as the iconic leading lady. We think she looks great. We’re totally on board with her second act as a star. She’s choosing the perfect roles that will make her adored (or hated). I guess we’ll just have to see how Hudgens will do. It’s showtime. The curtains up!
