The new Latin-themed musical at Mandalay Bay is said to be a walking Time Bomb. The opening was postponed from last Thursday with no set date to open.

I never thought Greenspan was going to lower rates more than 1/2 a point.

Although Broadway houses still have a backup of shows waiting to enter, I have always believed that Broadway is a lagging indicator to the economy. Wanna check out a leading indicator: look at the availability of off-Broadway spaces. Not the major ones, which have the same traffic jam as Broadway, but the smaller spaces which are more and more finding themselves with no shows in them. As the money sources have dried up in the past 3-6 months, the downturn in the market with the inevitable layoffs at the Wall Street companies, the first victims are off-Broadway shows. If the market downturn is prolonged, it will reflect on to Broadway, as it did in it's last downturn which led to the 1994-95 season when Sunset won the Tony Award for Best Musical. It was the only new musical of the season.
