In Sunday night's closing performance of A BEHANDING IN SPOKANE, Martin McDonagh's new play starring Christopher Walken, a burning candle failed to stay lit, the New York Post reports.

It is nearly impossible to dismiss the fact that Broadway experienced a rather lackluster year, star-studded shows or not, as can easily be seen by the list of Tony nominations. When musicals like Memphis and Million Dollar Quartet are able to snag nods for best musical, and the dreaded Addams Family can be listed as having one of the best original scores, it's certain that the creative juices flowing around Times Square were strained this past season...
