Ad above the theater listings...

"Dear Jim, Sean, Ciaran, Conleth, David, Conor, The National Theatre and 101 Productions,

From the top of the mornin' to the setting sun, it's been amazing. Thank you."

Thought it was very nice. You never see something like that nowadays, do you?

It's a very nice gesture. And it is something that used to happen more often in the past.

Shame that he's one of the most bitter, nastiest producers in town.

That's a much contested title.

Sleeper2, you clearly don't know Haber at all. I would question whether you work in the commercial theatre biz in NYC. Haber is one of the most generous and comitted producers in the theatre. I have never seen someone lavish such care on a show. This is a producer who does this because he has true affection for the artform. He certainly doesn't have to produce at all. He hardly needs the money.

It's a nice gesture. Using the phrase "top of the mornin'" is a bit cringeworthy, though.

Sleeper2-Simply put, you are wrong. Having worked for Bill Haber as an actor in one of his shows, I found him to be one of the classiest producers in the business. He was supportive, generous and kind. He personally came around the theater when the show was closing to thank each member of the cast. Very rare.
