Minor Increase In Broadway Sales

"The Glass Menagerie" Off To A Healthy Start

Last Dance For "Forever Tango"
The limited run production of the dance revueForever Tango concluded this past Sunday with less-than-stellar ticket sales. At 54.67% capacity, the theater was only a little more than half full, and average paid admission was just $54.22.
