The two cardinal rules of being a Broadway producer:
#1- Never put your own money in the show.
and #2- NEVER PUT YOUR OWN MONEY IN THE SHOW!

When darkness surrounds you and you lose your way, you have your own compass which turns night to day.

It's one block north to Macy's and two to Brothers Brooks.

You don't meet nice boys when you live on Skid Row.
