Troubles on Broadway

I woke up this morning and like almost every morning I visited the nytimes.com theatre section, where I found a great article on the economic woes of Broadway, and more specifically, the woes of Young Frankenstein.

There has been a legitimate amount of fear running through Broadway recently, as every week there seems to be a new announcement of a show closing. The overwhelming fear as of late comes from news of shocking closings, especially from shows that have just opened and days later announce their demise. Last week, American Buffalo with Haley Joel Osment, John Leguizamo and Cedric the Entertainer opened and unexpectedly closed in the matter of 7 days. 13 and Spamelot both announced their closing dates over the past few days.

Check out the article that explains how arrogance was the largest problem when it came to Young Frankenstein and its demise.
