Breaking News: REBECCA $4.5 Million Short After Investor's Death - Delays Start of Rehearsals for 2 Weeks; Previews & Opening Night as Well

Earlier post brought up the great producers of the old days. Men like David Merrick, Kermit Bloomgarden, Arnold Saint-Subber, Robert Fryer, Harold Prince (before he started directing) etc. had Rolodexes (anyone remember Rolodexes?) filled with names of wealthy investors (and the little old ladies so memorably depicted in THE PRODUCERS) who they would call up and get checks from. Those days are gone. And these producers never put a dime of their own money into the show. Now anyone who makes a small investment in a show gets producer credit. Did you ever wonder why when a play or musical wins a Tony Award these days, two dozen people run up to the stage?

^It played well in Vienna, but in Stuttgart it's been struggling since it opened last December. When I saw it back in March, there were 15!! people in the Mezzanine! And that was at a Saturday matinee performance. Since then, tickets in the Mezzanine and Balcony are not being sold. I really enjoyed the show though. Keeping my fingers crossed for everyone involved, that'll work out all right in the end...
