This Crop of Broadway Shows Is Finding Dog Days in the Fall
As the NYTimes astutely points out,This Crop of Broadway Shows Is Finding Dog Days in the Fall. I get major theater news emailed to me through a variety of listhosts, some for Chicago some for NY, etc. I think the last two months the news from NY has been all about shows that are either terrible or closing quickly before word gets too much farhter about how terrible they are. Except, of course, for Avenue Q. Which still rocks (not that I've seen it. I just listen obsessively).
I think this line from the NYTimes article about sums it up:
"All of which means that an industry that has survived Sept. 11, a slump in tourism, a sluggish economy and last spring's musicians' strike is suddenly facing a far more pernicious enemy: a string of clunkers, money-losers and mediocrities."
