You make sure you get to it.ĭAVE BRIGGS: It's a fantastic show. But obviously, if you're trying to get to it over here, you've got to- the rush is on. However, the show will live on in its global productions. The show will celebrate its 35th anniversary, and then will play its final performance on Broadway on February 18.
