B'way's Mind Games Expands Playing Sked

Marc Salem's Mind Games on Broadway, which began playing Monday nights at the Lyceum Theatre on May 17, will expand its playing schedule to twice weekly, beginning on November 9.

In Mind Games on Broadway, Salem tells total strangers who they are, where they're from, what they do for a living, what they're carrying in their pockets and where they've been on vacation. He performs a series of mesmerizing and mystifying games that allows him to read the minds of audience members.

Mind Games has been playing Monday nights while I Am My Own Wife is dark. Although the show is currently only playing one night a week, it has not been doing well at the box office. For the week ending October 17, one of its better ones, the show made $12,339 and filled the theater to 34.97% capacity.

I Am My Own Wife closes on October 31, and Whoopi begins performances at the Lyceum on November 6. Whoopi is only running for seven performances a week--with Monday and Tuesday as dark nights, leaving those free for Mind Games.
