Hedwig and the Angry Inch's surprise Broadway run will come to an end next month.

The musical will close on Sunday, September 13 after 18 months at New York's Belasco Theatre, it has been confirmed, reported Variety.

Neil Patrick Harris, Andrew Rannells, Michael C Hall, Darren Criss and show creator John Cameron Mitchell have all starred in the revival, while Taye Diggs is currently leading the cast.

Producer David Binder said: "When we announced our limited 16-week Broadway engagement of Hedwig, never in my wildest dreams did I think it would run for a year and a half.

"Hedwig heralded a historic year of acceptance and celebration across America. It has been a privilege to work with our extraordinary leading men Neil, Andrew, Michael, John, Darren and Taye; Lena Hall, Rebecca Naomi Jones, Shannon Conley, and our kick ass band Tits of Clay."
 

The show has a bright future ahead of it, with a US tour set to launch in October 2016, as well as international productions in London and Australia.
