I think that the 'bright side' reached by this article is missing out on a couple of things. It states that the average revenue for shows this month was two million above what it had been last year, however - without taking the stagehands strike into account this figure would seem great - but with saying that we beat last year's model minus 19 days of earnings - it shows a dismal state of the Broadway economy.
