While Broadway musicals tend to get the bulk of publicity, Broadway has consistently produced more dramas and comedies than musicals, and the current season is no exception, with ten productions scheduled to open between January and the end of the 1997-98 season on May 31, including several major transfers from London.

Business has often been problematic for non-musicals, but this season has seen a hit revival of Arthur Miller's A View From the Bridge that was just announced as the most successful in the history of Roundabout Theatre, its host.

Here's how the rest of the season is shaping up.
