I don't disagree with anything you say. I think the state may have done these reports because they were trying to wrap their head around various questionable things. The only person who can declare a show recouped officially is the accountant, and it can only happen in hindsight, so I think you're right about what this report may have been doing. I dug as deep as I could dig on the internet and came up dry on the report. If someone was sufficiently interested they could file a FOIL request and get it I would think but that's beyond my level of curiosity.
I never do any digging without finding (or re-finding) something fun. In this case, it was the contemporaneous lawsuit filed by Jerry Orbach against Rex Reed for calling him a "tone deaf mediocrity" (among other unpleasantries) in a review. Orbach lost. The review, he alleged, had been prompted by a dust-up at Sardi's between Reed and Orbach's first wife. |
