Week 36

The winter freeze continues, with most shows maintaining (small rises and falls at the box office).  The big droppers this week were Annie and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.  Big improvements came for two old favorites, The Phantom of the Opera and the soon-to-close Mary Poppins, and biggest of all, The Heiress.  Even more good news for this starry revival - it will close at a profit.  The nicest news is that the first big musical of the second part of the season, Rodgers + Hammerstein's Cinderella, is starting off like gangbusters, moving up to #8 in its first full week of previews.  And he's back! Manilow on Broadway  finally opened, an ailing Barry Manilow crooning his way through 5 performances at the St. James Theatre.
