Broadway tax breaks in Illinois. Is NY next?

Ken Davenport - Opinions from a Broadway Producer: Here's a trivia question for you . . .
How many of the musicals debuting in the 2011-12 season kick-started in Chicago?
Answer? Zippo.
Chicago was once one of our go-to tryout cities, thanks to its smart audiences, local resources, proximity to NYC, etc. But rising costs (not to mention "lake effect" snow), have kept Producers from the Windy City as of late.
