brian nation: the hot dog palace never closes

Speaking of Claudia McNeil, I was living in New York and realized I had never been to a Broadway show so one day I went over to Broadway. I knew nothing about Broadway shows but I’d heard of “beyond the fringe” so I thought I’d go see that. I didn’t realize that people that go to Broadway shows order their tickets decades in advance. (I exaggerate only slightly.) Everything I tried to see was sold out. Then I saw at the booth theatre a brand new play that was opening right then and there and there were lots of tickets so I went to see “Tiger Tiger Burning Bright”. All black cast. Starring Claudia McNeil etc. It closed a few weeks later but I at least saw it. One of the rare few.
