Wicked.

On a gay note, the The League of American Theaters and Producers in New York recently posted official Broadway figures and said that the final tally for the holiday week 2006 exceeded the record figure of $25 million. That's a lot of...theatregoers...





Fifteen shows, all musicals, posted grosses of more than $1 million. "Wicked" - the hugely popular show about the Wicked Witch of the West - led the pack, grossing more than $2 million on an eight-performance week. That's the highest weekly take for any show in the history of Broadway. Any show. Ever.

Jon and I had the honor of seeing Wicked at the Kennedy Center in Washington DC on New Years Eve 2005. This musical is a work of art. I was vaklempt. And much to Chaplin's chagrin, I'm still singing the music.

"Wicked" is also breaking records around the world. The London production just took in nearly $2 million, the Chicago production grossed $1.7 million and the Toronto version earned $1.8 million. And it's coming to Denver in May. Get your tickets now. Before they land a house on you, too. I promise you will not be sorry.
