[PW] Re: Two Deathtrap facts (Broadway)

[Belle Baxter]

According to ibdb.com (Internet Broadway Data Base) 30 other shows had more
than 1793 performances when it closed on June 13, 1982.  You'd probably have
to contact someone involved with the show to confirm the confidentiality
declaration.  Playbill.com is supposed to be able to link you to
celebrities, but I'm having trouble finding the link.

Subject: [PW] Two Deathtrap facts (Broadway)

Good morning! I seem to be having a lot of stumpers lately! Today I'm
trying to verify that Deathtrap, the play adapted from the Ira Levin
novel, was the 31st (I've also found 30th) longest running Broadway
show. The only mention I could find of this was Broadwayworld.com, but
I'm not sure of it's reliability. The other fact that needs verification
is that when the play opened in 1978, viewers had to sign a declaration
promising not to reveal the plot.

Thank you all so much!

~Michelle
