See, I think it's the opposite. Sandy was the funniest character.
I am SUPER liberal - probably one of the most liberal people in the world - and out of context this musical seems AWFUL but in context of the show, (as a ciswoman), I found it kind of empowering. I just saw it a few weeks ago, so maybe they changed some.

You're right. You don't need to, and I know many people who are content not seeing a bootleg.
Some people do want bootlegs, I feel like it's more of an extra rather than something that peop
Tough. They can find a form of entertainment they can afford. Every major city has theater. Attend that. The way you rationalize stealing the work of these artists in your mind is really something."
My city doesn't have theater. Closest one is 6 hours away. I'm lucky to be able to go to New York a lot, but most don't have that luxury.

The most overused word on this board "deserve". Those people you mentioned don't "deserve" anything other than enjoying something they've bought a ticket to see which does not include the right to record it in any form. Yet another case of entitlement run wild."
I respectfully disagree.
If some kid from across the globe loves theatre and they come across a bootleg, what's the problem?
I think it's okay. I would never record video myself, but if it's already out there, what's the harm? I enjoy watching them when I know I won't be able to see the show.
Most people don't live close to NYC, and can't afford to spend thousands of dollars on a trip, but they still deserve to see the work of art.
I think audio recording is completely fine. I have never done it, but I totally would. I spent hundreds of dollars on this and i
