Several Broadway and Off Broadway productions are scheduled to close in the coming weeks, including the jukebox musical Mamma Mia!, Alicia Keys–inspired Hell’s Kitchen and Tracy Letts’s thriller Bug. Mamma Mia! returned to the Winter Garden Theater in August for a six-month engagement after a decade-long interruption; its run is through Feb.

1 at the Winter Garden Theater. Bess Wohl’s Liberation, an Off Broadway hit that shifts between the present and 1970, is directed by Whitney White and led by Susannah Flood; because of nudity in the play, audience members must keep their phones in pouches during performance (through Feb.

1 at the James Earl Jones Theater). Robert Icke’s adaptation of Oedipus, starring Lesley Manville and Mark Strong, is at Studio 54 through Feb. 8. Jordan Harrison’s Marjorie Prime, starring June Squibb with Cynthia Nixon and Danny Burstein and directed by Anne Kauffman, is at the Helen Hayes Theater through Feb.

15. Tracy Letts’s Bug, in a production by David Cromer starring Namir Smallwood and Carrie Coon, requires audience members to store powered-down phones in locked pouches they keep in their possession; that run is through Feb. 22 at the Samuel J. Friedman Theater. Hell’s Kitchen, inspired by Alicia Keys and featuring songs such as "Girl on Fire," "Fallin'" and "Empire State of Mind," is at the Shubert Theater through Feb.
