“These are heady days, indeed, for Broadway in Chicago, which took some flak for dark theaters in the early days of the restoration of the Loop’s theater district, and now has batted away the naysayers… But all of a sudden, a new problem has presented itself. Since its creation, Broadway in Chicago has run two subscription seasons a year. But that requires moving shows in and out with sufficient rapidity to create multishow seasons for regular patrons to buy. When you have a limited number of theaters, and when those theaters are full of the same shows for months or years, that becomes very difficult to do.”
