LAST CHANCE: What's Closing This Week

Concluding Jan. 10, 2010

Ragtime (On Broadway at the Neil Simon Theatre). Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens' epic American musical made a Broadway return after a regional bow at the Kennedy Center under the direction of Marcia Milgrom Dodge. The 40-actor production, replete with a 28-piece orchestra, brings to life the early 1900s-set E.L. Doctorow novel that traces the lives of three disparate groups who intertwine with historical figures of the era. For tickets, visit Ticketmaster.

In the Next Room… or the vibrator play (On Broadway at the Lyceum Theatre).

For tickets, visit LCT.

The 39 Steps (On Broadway at the Helen Hayes Theatre). The Tony-winning madcap Alfred Hitchcock-inspired caper boasts a cast of four who portray over 150 characters as they re-create the 1935 film on stage thanks to theatrical ingenuity. The production is expected to transfer Off-Broadway to New World Stages in the spring. For tickets, visit Telecharge.
