Broadway was singing a different showtune this week. Luck be a lady… somewhere else!

Many of the theater’s powerful unions, landlords, trade organizations and ally businesses a-five-six-seven-hate Jay-Z, Caesars Entertainment and SL Green Realty’s bad, bad, bad bid to plop a casino in Times Square.

In the very same building that’s home to family-friendly “The Lion King,” 1515 Broadway, blackjack beckons. One block away from “Hamilton,” drunk tourists losing all of their Benjamins.

Broadway feels such intense loathing toward Beyonce’s husband’s plan for Caesars Palace Times Square that, like the hippies of “Hair,” the pros staged a rally Thursday by the red steps ahead of Friday’s deadline for proposals.
