Final Curtain?

Attention: Congress! Broadway bailout? Please?

Final Curtain?

Unacceptable!

If we can save white collar America and blue collar America, surely we can save glitter boa America as well?

OK, maybe Congress won't take up the plight of the poor, huddled, sequined, and jazzed pants-ed masses, but I think they should. According to the Daily Telegraph, as many as 15 Broadway shows are set to close in the next six weeks. For good.
