MANHATTAN — Did Hollywood actors Denzel Washington, Scarlett Johansson and Catherine Zeta-Jones pull a "smash-and-grab" on New York audiences?

The movie stars graced Broadway long enough to snatch up Tony Awards last Sunday, but they won't stick around.

Zeta-Jones will be replaced by Bernadette Peters this weekend, just one week after picking up the Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Musical award for her role in "A Little Night Music."

Washington will take his final curtain call on July 11 for August Wilson's "Fences," which won Best Revival and Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a play for its Hollywood star.

And Johansson took home Best Performance by a Featured Actress in a Play, but New Yorkers won't see her on stage because it ended in early April.

Theatergoers hoping to catch Zeta-Jones before she departs can still buy tickets for as little as $57, but Denzel fans will have to dish out $396.50 for the few premium tickets that remain for "Fences."
