When is the last time Andrew Lloyd Webber had a hit?
What happened to all that disposable income from the lavender mafia?
Time was, Ed Sullivan would have the performers on to do a number or two from their current show.
Now so much of Hollywood and Broadway are merely remakes (with Broadway adapting hit movies for the stage).
Rocky the Musical?
Are you frickin’ kidding me?
What’s next, “Patton: The Musical”?
Just more proof that everyone hates Bill de Blasio.
I prefer watching high school kids put on a play. A lot of times the singing, acting, and set design is top notch. And even if we stop for ice cream on the way home, my wife and I can spend 20 bucks on the whole night instead of 200 just to buy tickets.
I can only speak for myself, but the political hard left and radical LGBT dominance of the stage and screen is a big factor with me not attending plays and theater. Actors, actress, producers, and directors are quick to publicly demean and belittle Ideas, beliefs, and institutions that are important or even dear to me. It is now not enough for them to believe in or support something they must denounce, condemn and silence anything other total belief in their orthodoxy.
I don’t know why they would not be going to Broadway Plays. After all I saw a long line of them waiting to get into a local strip club.
There aren’t enough gays to fill these venues??? Are we being told wrong??
and of the 32% how many were gay?
50 something white male here.
I went to my first broadway show in years this past November.
I would do it again except the tickets cost $300, the train was $160 and dinner was another $100.
I had fun, but not THAT much fun.
I had a tradition of taking my daughters once a year. They would accompany me on a business trip. I don't take my daughters to Broadway shows any longer. The tickets are too expensive.
I’m hoping Mel Brooks makes a stage musical out of “Blazing Saddles” before God gives him the hook. That said, they maybe need to try doing more original material.
And “A Time To Kill”, the musical? Really? Nothing against the cast and playwright, but the concept itself just sounds dire.
I like an occasional Broadway play, or I used to. Now the women are less attractive, the men are more overtly gay (including the multiple mandatory gay characters0, and the themes are farther to the left. I’d guess that the vast majority of men at these plays are gay men, and when you limit your male audience to 1.5% of all men (plus those few who only go to please/impress a loose liberal woman), your sales are going to suffer.
Who wants to pay big bucks to watch a bunch of faggots dance around pretending to fight?
