The producers of "Godspell" say Broadway's first revival of the rock musical will play its final performance at the Circle in the Square Theatre June 24.
The show began previews Oct. 13 and officially opened Nov. 7. At the time of its closing, it will have played 30 preview performances and 264 regular performances.
"I've never been more proud of a show than I am of 'Godspell,'" lead producer Ken Davenport said in a statement. "For nine months this incredible company of performers brought joy into the hearts of more than 153,000 people (and blasted them with over 1,000 pounds of confetti) ... forever changing their lives, and mine as well. And while this production of 'Godspell' may not be at Circle in the Square past the 24th of June, it will be in our hearts and the hearts of everyone who saw it forever."
Its first national tour is to begin during the 2013-14 theater season.
"Godspell" originally opened off Broadway in 1971 and was first staged on Broadway in 1976.

Robert Pattinson had to be coached on British accent, says co-star
HE may have been born and raised in London, but Robert Pattinson must be hanging around Hollywood a little too much these days.
The British actor had to be coached on his British accent, co-star Christina Ricci revealed in an interview on "Jimmy Kimmel Live", Us Weekly reported.
Ricci, 34, and the Twilight hunk star in Bel Ami, a film about a young man who rises to power in Paris by manipulating wealthy women.
Ricci had to speak in an English accent and she said Pattinson, 26, made fun of her sometimes.
"They hired a wonderful accent coach who coached me ... and also coached him because he spent a lot of time in LA," she explained.
"I got to make fun of him because he's actually British and sometimes would sound like he was a Valley girl. And he made fun of me because I was trying to be British and would sometimes sound like a Valley girl.
"But really I was the problem. Sometimes we would do scenes and I'd turn to him and I would [ask], 'Did that sound OK?' And he'd [say], 'No.'"
Recently Pattinson praised his girlfriend Kristen Stewart for her English accent in Snow White and the Huntsman.
"She's really good at it," he told MTV News. "She's really good."
