...something black man heard friends complain about long lines at so-called satellite early voting stations here in crumbling Gary, Indiana. So he rose before dawn today, put on his baggy jeans and white leather jacket, and showed up at the Gary Christian Center for Youth, on Broadway Street, one of this city's main boulevards. "I was thinking I'd be able to get in and out of here at a decent hour," said the man, who declined to give his name...
Theater critics love to complain about the glut of revivals on Broadway, but what would we do without them? For one thing, they keep the theaters filled - something that a handful of new musicals (and an even smaller handful of straight plays) each season could never do on their own.

Broadway producers anticipating a rough 2009 are pulling the plug on big shows like Legally Blonde and Hairspray, and new shows are having trouble finding backers. In the concert world, "everybody's nervous," says Gary Bongiovanni, editor-in-chief of the trade magazine Pollstar. "It defies logic to think people worried about losing their houses are going to buy three-figure concert tickets." Music agents and managers are cautioning their clients to think small...
