Broadwayworld.com is another great resource for that. They also give somewhat an expectation for upcoming shows & their arrival on The Great White Way.
And the majority of shows announce about two-three months ahead of closing. Curtains announced in March that it would closing in June. However, there are some exceptions. When the Woman in White open in Nov. '05, the show was doing only decent and with all the sicknesses within the cast, after announcing that the star would be leaving for 6 weeks would close ONE WEEK later (Feb. 19, '06 is when it closed). Some shows, such as RENT did, announce about 5 months.
However, there are plenty of 'safe shows' on Broadway right now that will be open until atleast Decemeber/Holiday Season '08, unless another strike or unintentional event should happen to the show. Some of these are: WICKED, Jersey Boys, and South Pacific (unless the Lincoln Center decides to close it).
