This Just In: Broadway Not Dead
by Larry O'ConnorBack in January you couldn’t watch any entertainment “news” show or read any Arts & Culture section of a newspaper without seeing something about the death of Broadway. There were so many shows closing all at once that the imminent death of our industry was whined about not just from spineless actors, but from producers as well. It was so pervasive that Saturday Night Live utilized Neil Patrick Harris’ musical theatre ability to present a skit starring the characters of popular Broadway shows having a meeting at Sardi’s to try to save the industry.
Somewhere, out in the wilderness, on the pages of Big Hollywood, there was a lone voice of reason. A pragmatic and practical man laying out the facts for you, the ever-interested and conservative reader. That man, one Stage Right, was shrewd enough to label the producers as “panty-waste industry folk” and explained that their propensity to panic and pull the emergency brake is partly attributed to their liberal tendencies.
