Broadway Is Experiencing an Economic Boom Due to Must-See Shows

Variety: Here’s an old Broadway story, probably apocryphal, but with the ring of truth: A worried producer checks in on his ticket sales to see how his show is doing. “We had a terrible night, boss,” the treasurer tells him. “We did one penny.”

The producer sulks through Shubert Alley and runs into a rival. “How’s your show doing?” the rival asks.

“Oh, I had a terrible night,” the producer says. “I only did 2 cents.”
