Are you trying to suggest that the Winter Garden might not be available for next season's revival of Follies, to be co-directed by Hal Prince and Bartlett Sher with the original choreography and designs recreated? Now you're going to get me upset.

But, of course, you're right. No one knows yet what is going to happen with Rocky, and any number of possibilities seem . . . possible.

Unfortunately, Rocky, like most new shows, has an advance sale that is less than stellar. The below-average reviews will make it very difficult for Rocky to find its niche. I assume from what I have heard that its weekly expenses are on the high side. Not a great combo.

There's probably no star salaries, but lots of sets costumes and props that mean a lots of behind the scene salaries. And winter garden Can't be a cheap theater.

If this flops, I wonder if the shuberts will regret kicking mamma Mia out, which probably cost them some money to help move to broadhurst. And jackman' show really should go into the broadhurst next season.
