Several notable Broadway productions are approaching their final performances this month, marking an end to a season rich with diverse theatrical offerings. Among the shows concluding soon are well-known plays and musicals featuring prominent casts and creative teams.

David Lindsay-Abaire’s darkly comedic “The Balusters,” starring Richard Thomas—recently nominated for a Tony Award—has been drawing attention for its sharp writing and engaging performances. Another musical nearing the end of its run is “Chess,” along with the dark comedy “Death Becomes Her.” Theatergoers also have limited time to catch Mark Rosenblatt’s “Giant,” Stephen Adly Guirgis’s “Dog Day Afternoon,” Lindsey Ferrentino’s “The Fear of 13,” David Auburn’s “Proof,” and August Wilson’s acclaimed “Joe Turner’s Come and Gone.”

For audiences looking to celebrate Pride Month, several LGBTQ-themed plays and performances have become more accessible through digital platforms. Audible has released a series called “The Pansy Craze,” featuring live shows recorded at New York’s Minetta Lane Theater last year. Hosted by Hunter Bird and Mason Alexander Park—known for their role in London’s “Oh, Mary!”—the six-chapter series explores queer histories spanning from the Victorian era to the late 20th century. Episodes highlight figures like “gender illusionist” Jim Bailey, with guest Jesse Tyler Ferguson, and delve into glam rock culture featuring Evan Rachel Wood.

Audible’s collection also includes full productions of two landmark gay-themed plays. Tony Kushner’s “Angels in America,” presented with the original cast from the 2018 National Theater revival including Andrew Garfield, Nathan Lane, and Lee Pace, is available for streaming. Similarly, Matthew López’s “The Inheritance,” Broadway’s 2019 homage to multiple generations of gay men grappling with identity and legacy, joins in conversation with Kushner’s work and literary classics such as E.M. Forster’s “Howards End.”

For Shakespeare enthusiasts, the current production of “Romeo and Juliet” at New York’s Delacorte Theater runs through June 28 as part of Shakespeare in the Park. Those unable to attend can turn to digital adaptations. Franco Zeffirelli’s 1968 film remains a faithful and visually rich interpretation of the classic tragedy, while the pandemic-era hybrid stage-and-film version directed by Simon Godwin—and starring Josh O’Connor and Jessie Buckley—offers a more contemporary and briskly paced take on the tale of young love and loss.

Musical theater fans can revisit “La Cage aux Folles,” which is currently in production as part of New York’s Encores! series through June 28. The original 1983 Broadway cast recording, featuring George Hearn and Gene Barry, is available on streaming services, as is the 2010 revival starring Douglas Hodge and Kelsey Grammer.

In honor of Liza Minnelli’s 80th birthday, several of her concert performances are streaming for free on Tubi. Notable recordings include “Liza With a ‘Z’” (1972), directed and choreographed by Bob Fosse, as well as “An Evening With Liza Minnelli” (1980) and “Liza in London” (1986).

Other streaming options include Emma Rice’s 2021 filmed staging of “Wuthering Heights” from the Bristol Old Vic, available on AllArts.org. The production offers a stylistically inventive take on Emily Brontë’s novel, contrasting with the more divisive 2024 film adaptation directed by Emerald Fennell on HBO Max.

Finally, a notable archival gem, the 1982 HBO broadcast of Neil Simon’s “Barefoot in the Park,” starring Richard Thomas and Bess Armstrong, is available on YouTube. The classic comedy showcases the early chemistry between the lead actors alongside Barbara Barrie’s memorable performance as Corie’s mother.

Together, these offerings reflect a dynamic theatre landscape balancing live performance with digital accessibility, as several significant Broadway shows prepare to close their final chapters.
