[ P ] Gypsy Revival to Close Feb. 28
According to a statement, "The producers stated that the current extreme weather conditions in New York, which have caused an industry-wide decline in ticket sales, contributed to the decision to close the production." If the box office shows a marked improvement, however, the producers may extend the Gypsy run. (The producers of Never Gonna Dance also announced Feb. 2 that that show would close prematurely on Feb. 15, also citing the poor weather.)

[ CST ] "Guys & Dolls" BY HEDY WEISS
Imagine taking Frank Loesser's wholly irresistible, color-comics style musical "Guys & Dolls" and trying to convert it into a black-and-white newsreel -- a show filled with all the angst of an Ingmar Bergman film that might be titled "Men and Women." To some extent, this is what director Charles Newell has done in his revisionist version of the 1950 Broadway classic that opened Saturday at Court Theatre.

[ PRN ] Barry Manilow Hospitalized Following Court Days
- The superstar had returned to his home earlier in the day from New York where he "endured two of the most grueling days of arbitration in a lawsuit where he and co-writer Bruce Sussman are fighting to get back the rights to their brilliant stage musical 'Harmony,' from producer Mark Schwartz," according to Manilow's publicist Jerry J. Sharell.
1) If it was a "brilliant stage musical", would it have been kicking around for so long? I mean, come on, Patrick Wilson was not even a *star* when he first did this out on the left coast.
2) And if it was a "brilliant stage musical", would there have been such a problem financing it?
3) And if it was a "brilliant stage musical", why didn't Barry put the money up himself?
There is more to this story here than either side is willing to admit.
On another note, it looks like Barry needs good health coverage. He is a regular at the hospital lately...
