Broadway’s Hilton Theatre is ten years old. It has a dismal record of terrible flops. “Although many theaters can claim a distinguished history of failed shows — such is the slim rate of commercial success for Broadway productions — an astute producer would be wise to ponder the unhappy correlation between flopdom and tenancy in this particular house. Given its size, it theoretically has the potential to be among the industry’s most profitable; somehow it hasn’t worked out that way. I am not sure that is pure coincidence.”
