More like a Wilson on Broadway curse -- his shows, most unfortunately, dont last very long

THE MAGIC SHOW was a success. Doug Henning didn't take his clothes off--if he did no one would have seen him because he was so skinny.

What about Sarafina! and The Heiress? I think the Longacre has a more deadly track record.

But the Longacre had "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" and now "Talk Radio," both very well reviewed/received revivals.

in the "old days" before the internet, it would be exciting going to the NYTimes bldg at 12:30-1 am waiting for the reviews. We are in the age of information overload.

The Cort isn't completely cursed. Bobbi Boland did pretty well!
It's just a message board. Let's not take it too seriously.

No one went to see Virginia Woolf, despite the terrific reviews, and I believe it ended up closing at a loss. No word on recoupment either for Talk Radio, at least as of yet.

Well...it has a week. But it's pretty regularly been up on TKTS from virtually the beginning of previews. And the night I went there were only like 10 of us in the balcony. Not sure about the rest of the place.

It's sad about RADIO GOLF, I hope I get to see it, but it didn't exactly get rave reviews.
As for LDL, it was a mediocre play with bad marketing, saved only by a phenomenal performance that wasn't enough to keep it going.

Wish I had seen LDL, though it makes me feel better to hear that the play itself was mediocre. Maybe with her Tony win, and if "Caveman" is a success (I don't want it to be, on principle, but I wish her the best) they'll bring it back for a limited run or do a film version.

The Longacre also housed the Elaine May stink bomb, Taller than a Dwarf.

I believe the Belasco wins the prize -- someone posted last year that it has NEVER had a run of more than 250 performances.
