It’s been in development for five years and has at least a year to go. On the eve of its out-of-town debut, the actor playing Lincoln quit. And the producers still need to raise another $15 million to bring the show to New York. There really is no business like show business. (Part three of a three-part series.)
The post Will 3 Summers of Lincoln Make it to Broadway? appeared first on Freakonomics.

Meanwhile, the state is racing to get more residents signed up for a Real ID before the May 7 deadline, which will impact domestic travel. At the Port of Los Angeles, imports are already dropping as major retailers pull back due to trade tensions. And in Long Beach, hospitality workers at the convention center have secured raises, healthcare, and stronger pensions following a wage dispute.
It's the last Friday in April and it's time for Marketplace Tech Bytes Week in Review.
This week, we'll talk about how the Federal Trade Commission is suing Uber over its subscription service.
Plus, how the VC world is navigating the uncertainty created by the trade war.
But first, a nonprofit pivot is facing some challenges. Open AI, the maker of ChatGPT was founded about a decade ago as a nonprofit research lab. It's now looking to restructure as a for-profit — specifically, a public benefit corporation
But that transformation is facing resistance.
About 10 former Open AI employees, along with several Nobel laureates and other experts, have written an open letter asking regulators in California and Delaware to block the change.
They argue that nonprofit control is crucial to Open AI's mission, which is to “ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity."
Marketplace’s Stephanie Hughes spoke with Jewel Burks Solomon, managing partner at Collab Capital, about how unusual it is to see this kind of conversion.

The shadow docket strikes once again! We break down the Court's unusual immigration ruling in AARP v. Trump (no, not that AARP!), and then briefly discuss the much-heralded ERISA case (Cunningham v. Cornell). But first we discuss some blog news, some SCOTUS news, and some SCOTUSblog news.
President Trump’s deportations, tariffs, federal layoffs and funding suspensions have generated nonstop headlines and frayed confidence, yet left surprisingly little trace on the economy. Hiring, spending and inflation look a lot like they did under Joe Biden. As Trump’s first 100 days draw to a close, Kate Linebaugh and Molly Ball explore the state of the U.S. economy with Chief Economics Commentator Greg Ip and try to understand what might be coming next.
