Broadway is Expensive. Times Square is a pain to walk through. Intermission isn't enough time to scarf down that $12 Watered-Down-Mojito which you can't bring to your seat. And that jerk in front of you is going to give a standing ovation to a reading of the telephone book. Why bother? We give you each of your (not so)
favorite Broadway shows, ten minutes at a time.

Definitely not as bad as last year, but I truly am sad to see The 39 Steps leave. I thought Finian's Rainbow would last longer, too.

Seriously, they FINALLY cancelled Spiderman?

39 Steps is going to off-broadway, so it's not dying completely.

Also, you forgot Mamma Mia.
