The last week in February made for a slow week at many Broadway box offices. The New York City area has experienced many heavy snowstorms this winter which made ticket sales decline for many musicals and plays on the stages of Broadway.

Many plays in previews such as “Looped,”and “Next Fall,” had a slow week in sales. Some of the Major musicals experienced a drop of 30% or more in their weekly box office grosses. “West Side Story,” “Mamma Mia!,” “The Lion King,” and “Chicago” were a few out of the many musicals that were affected by the harsh snow storms in the NYC area.

However, there was one musical that did actually do well at the box offices. “A Little Night Music” is a musical revival which had a return from its star, Catherine Zeta-Jones.

Broadway’s slow end to February grossed a total of 14.2 million as opposed to the $17.8 million grossed the week before.

Now that the snow storms are over, it is your chance to come enjoy the beautiful New York City weather and see a Broadway play such as Phantom of the Opera, Jersey Boys, American Idiot, Wicked, and more!

A new comedy based on a real event is coming to Broadway. Looped follows a summer night in 1965 when celebrated actress Tallulah Bankhead was called into the sound studio. She was called into the studio to re-record (or loop) the words “Die, die my darling,” a line from her final film.

However, when she shows up to loop the line she is completely intoxicated. Tallulah Bankhead was known to be a rebel. She was a party girl who experimented with alcohol, drugs, and bisexuality. She was definitely a bad girl in Hollywood at her time. During this recording session, she was far too inebriated to properly loop the line for the film, and a fight begins between the editor of the film, and Ms. Bankhead herself.

Starring in the Broadway show is Valerie Harper, whose claim to fame was as Rhonda on the Mary Tyler Moore Show. She became a Broadway star with her performance in The Tale of the Allergist’s Wife. The director of the show is Rob Ruggiero who is nationally recognized for both his musicals and plays.

Looped will begin previews at the Lyceum Theatre in New York City on Friday, February 19, 2010.
