Godspell was just cancelled (pre-rehearsals even), and the cast found out over e-mail. Brigadoon also fell prey (“raising money for the bagpipe revival wasn’t easy,” says the Post. Ha.). We worry about the out of work bankers and journalists wandering the streets, but what about the chorus line, people? We are looking at a lot of tapping for money out there (shuffle-ball-change?). Dance 10, Looks 3, and you’re still on unemployment, indeed.
At least Billy Elliot is surviving. Fourth graders in ballet slippers are pretty much immune from even the most desperate economic times.
