...clear how long the play would have to run in order to turn a profit. Enron is playing at Broadhurst Theaters, which has room for an audience of 1,186. Of those seats, 733 are on the theater's main floor. Tickets for most of those seats will cost $121.50, but the producers hope to sell a yet-to-be-determined number of so-called premium seats for as much as $251.50 on Friday and Saturday nights. In the theater's balcony, tickets will range from $121.50 for the best views to $66.50 for the back rows. (See pictures...
...real revelation from Equus, which has just opened at Broadway's Broadhurst Theatre, is that Radcliffe proves himself a strong, confident and convincing stage actor.

Most of Hong Kong's murders, it seems, still only happen in the movies...

The producers later changed their mind, and the show is now trying to make a go of it - but imagine what all this must do for morale in the chorus...
Your story "the feel-good remedy" about how Broadway shows have bounced back since Sept. 11 noted that "even such gloomy dramas" as August Strindberg's Dance of Death are doing strong business [THEATER, Oct. 29]. To judge from the laughter and applause filling the Broadhurst Theater the other night when I was there, Ian McKellen and Helen Mirren have transformed the play into a dance of life. No wonder it's resonating with audiences just now. ALEXIS XENAKIS Sioux Falls...
