Will wonders never cease: David slay Goliath with a rare victory at the Beacon Theatre, which forced us to rethink the old truism that the vision of an independent trade displaces Broadway.
"Once," small music spun by an Irish artist, movie films, defeating "Newsies," a Disney theatrical productions leading the Tony Award for best musical, despite the fact that "Newsies" road show greater potential for profiteering.
But if this season has taught us that this is something theatrical creativity can not be overcome by corporate forces. All the hoopla about another record year of billion plus Grosses (funny how when you consider the charge number of tickets, does not really matter, if participation is essentially flat), there was plenty of evidence to Broadway's determination to find a place on the ledger sheet risk and bold.
