Rush Limbaugh Broadway bound
Talk-radio host Rush Limbaugh will take over “The Lion King’s” Broadway lair, the New Amsterdam Theatre, on Oct. 18 for a one-man show to benefit Hurricane Katrina victims.
Tickets to the event sold out within hours after the box office opened Tuesday. They cost $77 -- a reference to Limbaugh’s spot on the New York radio dial, 770 AM. His New York station, WABC, is sponsoring the event and also is part of the same Disney empire that owns the theater and produces “The Lion King.”
No theatergoers will be ousted from their seats: Starting last weekend, “The Lion King” went on a school-year schedule that eliminated Tuesday performances.
