This is a well-traveled path here (even though you wouldn't know it by reading this thread). The use of the pouches has zero to do with patrons and everything to do with the intellectual property on display. Why can't we get that through our heads? Landlords have no interest; producers have no interest; certain types of performers have a great interest.



Why aren't more Broadway shows preserved on film?  Sep 9 2019, 11:10:07 AM

@haterobics I agree with you obviusly but would just add that there are a myriad of other costs associated with the physical shooting (before even reaching the collateral costs you discuss) other than just flipping on the camera and pointing. A product for release to the general public cannot be shot the way film school students would should a class assignment. For example, theatrical lighting rarely works on film without alteration, and obviously you can't just record the ambient sound i

Why aren't more Broadway shows preserved on film?  Sep 8 2019, 11:33:35 AM

@Konsider First, thanks for instigating this explosion of well-written prose. There are opinions at play here (mine included obviously) and they are being discussed, which is a good thing. Second, I think that most of you (I am not getting much company here ) are focusing on an imaginary broad market rather than the market made up of folks like us (viz., people who pay an inordinate amount of attention to the t

Why aren't more Broadway shows preserved on film?  Sep 8 2019, 12:08:23 AM

@OlBlueEyes You gloss over any semblance of the actual circumstances and offer platitudes in its place. The theatre's calling card is its unique "liveness." I am no luddite. I just think that if one grasps technology, one appreciates its might capabilities, but also what it cannot achieve. Maybe we will lose this battle, and thus the art form, but not without a fight. Theatre, more than any other live art form (except perhaps dance but there is no serious commercial dance and pr

Not sure why you joined today and resurrected an orphan thread, but I'll let that pass.


1. Do you personally only ever see a specific Broadway show one time?

It depends. (Not sure how this relates to anything, but I see many shows once, some shows more, sometimes whether I want to or not.)

Not Broadway Grosses  Sep 3 2019, 11:02:11 AM

Grossing is definitely a thing. When I first saw you use the plural, it took me to horse racing where they say "takings" to mean essentially the same thing. 



Not Broadway Grosses  Sep 3 2019, 09:37:04 AM

no there is not. BTW the word is "grosses." I have never seen the gerund used in this way. (Has anyone else?)

Name Above The Title Question?  Sep 2 2019, 06:45:00 PM

Safe to assume that if Groff, Blanchard, or Borle are out, you will be able to exchange your tix for a different date, past-date, of get a refund.

I assume you mean if they in fact have that policy when the OP calls.

Whatever it was, it never made it. Her last Broadway credit is 1968.

That's good to know. I assume you've noticed that most people don't.



Not Broadway Grosses  Sep 1 2019, 02:19:32 PM

Here we go again with the generalizations that mislead. Frankly, I am tired of correcting everything all the time. So I will just warn folks not to believe everything they read. 



Does the theatre keep tickets that haven’t been used?  Sep 1 2019, 01:35:29 PM

Tickets are kept until accounted for, for fraud prevention, but they are not archived and available (or useful)  in a post-dating context. The fact is there is not much will-call anymore, not counting comps (for which post-dating is obviously moot). And that's the only physical inventory in a box office today.



Does the theatre keep tickets that haven’t been used?  Sep 1 2019, 01:00:09 PM

are we talking about ancient history here? or modern reality? 

relatively few physical tickets exist any more. and even when they do, there is still a digital version of that ticket. The only real case of untraceable physical tickets is a walkup purchase, and in that case if you don't have the ticket, you obviously are not getting past dated. And the pickup is not the relevant factor in a will-call; it's the scanning. 

Sometimes I wonder what people have on the

Mark Hellinger Theater returning? Times Square Church looking for larger space?  Aug 29 2019, 12:41:59 PM

RippedMan said: "Yeah NYC is basically bank bank bank bank drug store bank bank bank chain store bank bank bank chain restaurant bank bank."

NYC covers over 300 square miles of land (not counting the water), and you are basically describing 1% of it. That's fine, but it is important to remain mindful that the history of NYC is one of resilience and adaptability, and to not understand her dynamic evolution is to misapprehend the essence of the place. Yes we have c


Mark Hellinger Theater returning? Times Square Church looking for larger space?  Aug 28 2019, 08:42:40 PM

I think the Hellinger is a pipe dream, but I won't wake anyone up from it because it is not 100% impossible. Although it has been altered, the basic skeleton is still in place. 

The Times Square, on the other hand, is basically a bag of mashed potatoes at this point. There is no there there.
