Laugh Whore was a hit, but it was a limited engagement.

There has been no long running hit at the Cort.

Well, that's not entirely true. The Magic Show played almost 2,000 performances at the Cort.

Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop.

Right. I just looked it up on ibdb though and the Cort has had 3 shows that have closed IN PREVIEWS, bless it.

Nothing precious, plain to see, don't make a fuss over me. Not loud, not soft, but somewhere inbetween. Say sorry, just let it be the word you mean.

Face Value, Bobbi Boland and...?

EDIT: and the third is the LEGENDARY Leda Had a Little Swan, a play about bestiality, that has an amazing chapter to itself in William Goldman's The Season.

Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop.

Leda Had A Little Swan, a play by Bamber Gascoine in March of 1968.

I agree with the location being crappy, but it really is a beauty once you're inside. We sat in the first balcony FAR over to house right and the sightlines were great.

Yes, it popped into my head after I posted. Goldman writes hysterically about the audience storming out at various points throughout the performance of Leda Had a Little Swan.

If ever anyone says we're having a bad season on Broadway, just direct them to pick up The Season. 1967-1968, the season that Goldman wrote about, was loaded with disasters, culminating in four of the most lackluster Best Musical nominees ever: Hallelujah, Baby!, The Happy Time, Illya Darling and How Now, Dow Jones (although I rather like all four of them).

Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop.

What was so bad bout the "Swan" play?

I think with a renovation to the outside of the Cort, it could be very popular. I Think the marquee needs to be updated and changed. and like someoen said, they should at a marquee like the Walter-Kerr or like the theater that had Wonderful Town.

The plot of Leda Had a Little Swan had something to do with giving animals to children to have sex with. And I'm serious.

John leguziamo's freak ran there for a while back in 98, it was extended several times and was nominated for a few tonys. i would consider that a hit.
