The Broadway musical Tootsie will close in January 2020 after an eight-month run.
The producers of the musical have announced that the final show at New York City’s Marquis Theatre will take place on January 5 following 293 regular and 25 preview performances.
Santino Fontana stars in the musical as Michael Dorsey, the role originated by Dustin Hoffman in the film version. He won the Tony Award for Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Musical and the show also took home the award for Best Book of a Musical.
A touring production of the musical will kick off in Buffalo, N.Y. in October 2020. Casting, exact dates, and additional cities will be announced in the future.
Tootsie tells the story of a talented but difficult actor who struggles to find work until one show-stopping act of desperation lands him the role of a lifetime – as the star of a new Broadway musical.
You’re going to be amazed by how fast Santino Fontana transforms from Michael Dorsey to Dorothy Michaels during his performance at the 2019 Tony Awards!
The 37-year-old actor performed the song “Unstoppable” from his musical Tootsie at the awards show on Sunday (June 9) at Radio City Music Hall in New York City.
Santino starts the song off as his character Michael Dorsey and walks off stage mid-song, later re-appearing just 40 seconds later as Dorothy Michaels!
During the show, Santino won the award for Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Musical.
Tootsie is currently running at the Marquis Theatre on Broadway, so get your tickets to see it!

The fourth and final season of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend will welcome back one of the series’ original characters, though a new actor will step into the role.
Greg, originally played by Santino Fontana, is returning with Pitch Perfect‘s Skylar Astin in the role.
Santino asked to be let go from the show and his final appearance was in the beginning of season two in 2016.
“When he decided that this show didn’t work for his schedule, we took that Greg storyline and moved it all up,” co-creator and showrunner Aline Brosh McKenna said (via THR). “In thinking about bringing him back, we reached out to let him know we were doing that.”
“We don’t want to spoil it too much,” co-creator and star Rachel Bloom added. “It will be a great statement on how our perception of people changes. Greg is a barometer of how people’s perceptions changes. It’ll have been two years since Rebecca’s seen him.”
Rachel says that the series will end the same way she envisioned it when she developed it at Showtime.
