Broadway Grosses: April 20-26

Mostly down this week(understandable, it's usually slow in May right before the Summer hits us), with a few exceptions i.e. MARY STUART and JOE TURNER'S COME AND GONE, both coming off raves. Lots of shows need help: DESIRE UNDER THE ELMS, REASONS TO BE PRETTY (104K, under 30% att.), NEXT TO NORMAL. You can see why IMPRESSIONISM is biting the dust. I hope the raves help THE NORMAN CONQUESTS; he too needs it. But if you're the producers of GOD OF CARNAGE, HAIR or WEST SIDE STORY, you've got to be feeling good.
