It was about 8 years ago now. It was a last ditch attempt to keep a straight play open to a certain date (NOT A MUSICAL). Royalties to creatives and rights for music were all renegotiated, a smaller house with nothing lining up to get in when the producers started talking to everyone about closing. The more I think about, the more that this may have been a very unique situation, as it was my first commercial theater outing.
