Although "The Fantasticks" closed a year ago, such venerable productions as "Blue Man Group," "Stomp" and "De La Guarda" have kept on going Maybe that's why the Little Shubert already has a new tenant, "The Mandrake Root," a play written by and starring Lynn Redgrave " Only a few shows, most notably "Adult Entertainment," a comedy by Elaine May, and "The Exonerated," a docudrama about death-row inmates featuring a rotating cast of stars, have demonstrated much staying power this season But there are those few off-Broadway shows that seem to churn on forever 26 He blames rapidly rising production costs, which jack up the break-even point for shows, requiring ticket-price hikes Tune's show, which featured a 16-piece orchestra, had a $75 top ticket, the same price Broadway patrons pay to see Paul Newman in the mostly sold-out revival of "Our Town Right now, people would rather take a chance on a play like that on Broadway " They followed several other costly musical duds from the previous year, including "Reefer Madness" and "Summer of '42 Off-Broadway Suffers Through Lean Season Jan 15, 2:50 PM EST It opened Dec Eve Ensler's play, which opened in October 1999, will finally close Jan "I think off-Broadway has become too expensive to the public," says Ben Sprecher, one of the producers of "Adult Entertainment" â€â€? which has a top ticket price of $65 "It's very dicey," says Chase Mishkin, one of the producers of "Tommy Tune: White Tie and Tails Much of off-Broadway's visibility has been usurped by nonprofit off-Broadway theaters, such as Manhattan Theatre Club, the Public Theater and New York Theatre Workshop The show was the victim of mixed reviews (including a pan in the powerful New York Times) and disappointing business The troubles have persisted for several seasons, aggravated by the Sept Hits like "Far Away" at NYTW and Manhattan Class Company's production of Neil LaBute's "The Mercy Seat" have dominated the season While Broadway has produced such recent high-profile hits as "Hairspray," "Movin' Out" and "La Boheme," commercial off-Broadway remains mired in gloom Like Broadway, off-Broadway has tried to lure stars, with some success Preview performances begin March 8 for a March 23 opening "What I have always looked for (in producing) off-Broadway was something you would never find on Broadway or an important play that isn't going to fill a 1,000-seat theater but can fill a 400 or 500-seat theater for a limited run," Stone said You have to sell x-number of seats to meet the weekly nut "It's smart, funny and substantive and yet it is about a very purient subject 18 with a splashy Tommy Tune revue: the $12 million Little Shubert, off-Broadway's newest theater, a 499-seat playhouse with good sightlines, ample leg room and more than enough bathrooms " The flops this season include "Thunder Knocking on the Door" and "Little Ham It was right for downtown," he said "But the days of plays like `Driving Miss Daisy' being done off-Broadway are gone, at least for the moment And when nonprofit off-Broadway theaters have hits these days, they are more likely to move to Broadway, such as MTC's "Proof" and "The Tale of the Allergist's Wife" and the Public's "Take Me Out," a drama about a gay baseball player that opens at the Walter Kerr Theatre in February Today, the Little Shubert on West 42nd Street sits dark, awaiting its next tenant after Tune and company abruptly closed in less than a month In the end, though, Sprecher said, productions have to be matched to the right theater " A few off-Broadway productions, such as "Debbie Does Dallas" and "Tuesdays With Morrie," have sizable discounts and some participate in the "Season of Saving" winter sales that nearly two dozen Broadway shows also offer 11 attacks, rising ticket prices, thin profit margins and a string of expensive financial failures " Risks are greater on Broadway, but then so are the financial rewards "There hasn't been a breakout off-Broadway success in years," says David Stone, producer of "The Vagina Monologues," which may have been its last big hit Edward Norton and Catherine Keener made the revival of "Burn This" a hot ticket, but when they left after three months, business collapsed The differences between Broadway and off-Broadway are blurring, and off-Broadway tickets aren't the bargain they used to be You don't have enough seats off-Broadway to do that Nonprofits also have the cushion of subscription audiences, people in seats to offset any bad reviews "My Old Lady," a new play by Israel Horovitz, folded there in December after an abbreviated, unprofitable run " "We're in a tough business "Adult Entertainment," which deals with a group of porn actors who decide to make their own X-rated film, is playing, at the Variety Arts, a theater below 14th Street on the fringes of the East Village The Promenade, another premier off-Broadway theater, also is empty He worked in underground theater in Manhattan, eventually co-founding the Wooster Group in 1979 In a 1997 interview, he even provided an epitaph for his tombstone: "An American Original: Troubled, Inner-Directed and Cannot Type "The man may be the ultimate WASP neurotic, analyzing his actions with an intensity that would be unpleasantly egomaniacal if it weren't so self-deprecatingly funny," Associated Press Drama Critic Michael Kuchwara wrote in 1996 He was 62 Missing Actor Spalding Gray Found Dead Mar 8, 7:56 PM EST Actor-writer Spalding Gray, who laid bare his life and mingled performance art with comedy in acclaimed monologues like "Swimming to Cambodia," was found dead over the weekend, two months after he walked out of his Manhattan apartment and disappeared A horrific head-on car crash during a 2001 vacation in Ireland to mark his 60th birthday left him disheartened and in poor health, and he tried jumping from a bridge near his Long Island home in October 2002 " Gray's greatest success was his Obie-winning monologue "Swimming to Cambodia," which recounted in part his movie role opposite Sam Waterston in "The Killing Fields "We're hoping now that we have some closure," his wife, Kathleen Russo, said from the couple's Long Island home A memorial service will be held in a couple of months, Russo said Monday " Gray's life in recent years was marred by tragedy and depression "He questions everything and ends up more exhausted than satisfied His family told police he was last seen Jan Usually wearing his trademark plaid flannel shirt, the performer would never move from the desk as he read in a soft, New England-flecked accent Gray, whose mother committed suicide when she was 52, spoke openly about considering the same fate 10 "That probably was Spalding's main subject, wasn't it? Writing and thinking about the mysteries of life and death The cause of his death was still under investigation, according to a spokeswoman for the medical examiner There, he wrote an autobiographical trilogy of plays about life in Rhode Island Louis, and Channing Gray "Spalding had an affinity with that material and its enormous sadness and wistfulness about lost opportunities and the mysteries of the universe," said "Our Town" revival director Gregory Mosher But Gray had a history of depression and attempted suicide in 2002 In the monologue "It's a Slippery Slope," Gray told his audience he had to overcome a deep depression associated with his turning 52 â€â€? his mother's age when she took her own life " Many were published in book form and several were made into films " Gray's riveting live performances generally featured only a desk and a glass of water as props Gray's body was pulled from the East River and was identified Monday through dental records and X-rays His mother suffered a pair of nervous breakdowns, committing suicide in 1967 after the second one He is survived by Russo; three children; and two brothers, Rockwell Gray, an English professor in St In more than a dozen monologues starting in 1979, Gray told audiences about his childhood, "Sex and Death to the Age 14"; his adventures as a young man, "Booze, Cars and College Girls"; and his struggles as an actor, "A Personal History of the American Theater "The family will begin to heal In the theater, he starred as the stage manager in the 1989 revival of "Our Town," a production that won a Tony Award for best revival " Gray was born on June 5, 1941, one of three sons growing up in Barrington, R I " The monologue, developed over two years of performance, became a film directed by Jonathan Demme |
