I don't know. Back then I used to subscribe to Variety. Like a true theatre nerd, I used to save the theatre section from each week. I always highlighted articles that reported that various Broadway shows had recouped. I know King David was supposed to be a fill-in show until The Lion King was ready. I knew it was a short run -- I'm not sure if I realized at the time that it only ran for 9 shows. I do know that its recoupment was announced in Variety.

That is definitely one of the articles I remember reading in the theatre section I had clipped out for that week. I believe there was an earlier very brief one -- probably a paragraph or just a few sentences referring to King David. I tried googling and couldn't find it. I actually saved the theatre sections of Variety for about 20 years, but finally had to discard them. Thanks for finding that article.
