Around this production

Perhaps Kilgallen, who died just before Skyscraper opened, helped the show: her prediction of doom may have led critics to expect the worst, which Skyscraper was not.

The public didn’t buy it, though, and Skyscraper was unable to scrape by. More Opening Nights On Broadway Steven Suskin, p. 875
