| I think it's highly likely that there were times in the past, probably between the Twenties and the early Sixties, when every Broadway theater was either occupied or had a new tenant firmly booked for the current season. I think this because there used to be a practice called interim booking, whereby an incoming show (Show A) would take a Broadway theater that had already booked another tenant (Show B) that would be coming in during the next two or three months. The producers of Show A were taking the chance that Show B would close out of town, or that something else already on Broadway would close soon and Show A would be able to move over to that theater before Show B came in. If neither of those things happened, Show A would have to close when Show B came in. I don't know why anyone would take that risk if there were even one other house sitting empty and available on Broadway. | |
