The Schubert and Niederlander organizations have owned the bulk of Broadway theater properties for decades. Huge wealth in that land and whole building ownership...they’ll survive a year of theater blackouts with their other tenants. Off & off off Broadway venues?
I visited NYC 4 times from 2014 to 2018, thoroughly enjoyed each trip, and spent a lot of money each time. My experience was replicated millions of times each year by visitors from all over the world. There is nothing left in NYC to ever entice me to go back. Covid could be eliminated entirely, but the damage that Cuomo and DeBlasio have done will take years to recover. NYC cant even begin to revive until those two hacks are tossed out of office.
Or off-off-off-off-off-off Broadway?
Are there any open air stadiums left? Once we get through COVID-19, what about COVID-21, SARS, the Andromeda Strain or the Walking Dead Virus?
The actors, actresses, stagehands and musicians better have good day jobs.
I don't see how NYC ever recovers from this. I don't think that the current NYC voter demographic could elect Rudy Giuliani today. Stick a fork in it. Or build a wall around it.
That’s interesting. I suppose they are liberals?
