Proposal Offers Tax Relief for Producers

There is a proposal in the works that would give tax relief to producers of commercial theater. The proposal, which has the support of Senator Charles E. Schumer...
I heard an interview with Chuck Schumer this weekend on Q104 (no, we don't listen to show music all the time), and I have to tell you that I was very impressed with his ability to connect with people without all the political BS.

Low Ratings Haunt Sitcoms With High-Profile Stars by BERNARD WEINRAUB

Network expectations have been dampened for ABC's "Bob Patterson," with Jason Alexander, NBC's "Emeril," with Emeril Lagasse, and CBS's "Ellen Show," with Ellen DeGeneres.
Does this mean that Broadway producers will stop assuming that bringing a star into a project will make the project float? It's all about the content, not the wrapping.

'I Love Lucy': Coolly Confident, Timelessly Funny by JOYCE MILLMAN
I love "Lucy," and I always will. Why? Because it's fantastically, timelessly funny. The show was driven by a primal sitcom dynamic: two couples, four personalities.

Of note: You may notice a few changes on the nav bar to your right. The obvious deletion of the BroadwayOnline.com and it's associated links, and the addition of a new category "Radio". First of all, I realize that BroadwayOnline is not quite gone yet, but for all intents and purposes, there is no longer a staff. I hear that Robert Viagas is really the only one left and that a cash infusion was needed over the weekend to keep the editorial website going. No word if it happened. Yesterday, Matthew pointed out the tremendous loss of Peter Filichia's column, but I hear that he will land on the web just fine. (You never know *where* Peter just may show up next...) There are also a lot of other valuable resources of BroadwayOnline that will be temporarily lost. I suspect that those people will show up at other websites as well. On another note, the links on the right side are tools for you and we take suggestions. Just let us know if we are missing something.
