From what I was told the way the Liberty was boxed in by the developments around it they ended up cutting off too many of their emergency exits to have a capacity of 500+. Assuming that's true, it could be redeveloped into an Off-Bro

From everything I have heard The Times Square can't go legit because when Garth Drabinsky took over the space occupied by the The Apollo and Lyric, he took up the block on 43rd St. and left no room for a loading dock to the Times Sq. Apparently t
Thanks for the info. Yes, I think the opening night was postponed a few times. I have the OCR and the big production numbers seem so out of place. Love the ballads, though.
I remember her many appearances on The Tonight Show and game shows back in the 60s and 70s. Very funny, talented lady. The Paper Mill recording is my favorite recording of Follies.R.I.P.

Many times Davis would stress that Crawford was a professional. Always on time. Always knew her lines. Always hit her mark. However, Miriam Hopkins was another story. Davis was highly critical of her.
"I have also heard that William Holden became so maddened by her unprofessional-ism and disdain towards co-stars and crew that they
