As a Puritan, he had religious objections to it - he thought the theatre was the devil's workshop. He may also have objected to it as a Military ruler - theatres are hotbeds of radicalism, and they provide a mouthpiece for seditious propaganda.

Hairspray was in theatres for at least two months, I'm pretty sure. The summer of 2007 Hairspray started in July and went until at least September, early September. It made lots of money.

In the early 1600s the following theatres were in operation: Newington Butts (1576), The Curtain (1577), The Rose (1587), The Swan (1595), The Globe (1599), The Fortune (1600), The Boar's Head (1600), The Red Bull (1604), The Hope (1614). These were all open-air theatres. Closed theatres included The Blackfriars (1596), The Cockpit (1616), and Salisbury Court (1629). The performance of plays was banned in 1642 and continued to be so for 18 years. During this time the old playhouses disappeared. When dramatic performance was restored in 1660, two new theatres, Drury Lane and Dorset Gardens, were constructed. As there were only two legal companies of players, these were all the theatres they needed.
Dramatic performances were banned during the Commonwealth 1642-1660, but the theatres were not burned down. However, since the theatres could not be used for anything, there was no profit in keeping them so most of them were torn down by their owners to make room for more profitable buildings like housing. Only one theatre, the Red Bull, managed to survive the Commonwealth.
