After reading the interview, I too have much respect for Louderman and her honesty. There are people who decide the they aren't happy with the filed of work that they are in, and so, they find another one. Happens all the time. This reminds me of when Bobby Steggert wrote an open letter, explaining why he's left theatre to become a social worker.
I don't believe that the Broadway schedule changes just because of the Jewish High Holy Days. I know that they are altered for the week of July 4th, Thanksgiving week and the two week period consisting of both Christmas and New Years. But, other than that nothing has changed.

Back on topic.
Shubert is not going to foot the bill for the pouches just like Nederlander didn’t when there were those concerns there. They do, however, have contracts with the company that does the hearing headsets. This is simply because They find it to be a worthwhile investment to give patrons that need it for them to Have a great experience.
They don’t feel the same way about the pouches. They aren’t Going to say no if, say, the producers of say, Freestyle Love S
We get our playbills delivered weekly. But, the content inside is the same all month long. If there's a casting change that happens in the middle of the month, an insert is used until the next month when said cast member's info will be in the playbill then.

Shakespeare had men dressing as women because it was literally illegal for women to perform in that time!

No, it's not an open run. He's starting a tour celebrating the music of Cole Porter. The run at the Nederlander is the start of the tour. Think of it like one of the concerts that has been going on at The Lunt.
Justin D said: "I think the $25 ones are also seasonal, and go up in the summer"
No, the only time they go up is on the weekends. But, then again, Phantom is far from the only show that ups it’s lower priced tickets for weekend performances.
ETA: I believe, though could be mistaken that the 29 dollar tickets get bumped up to 49 on weekends.
CouchPotatoLatke said: "From what Iremember, as long as that ticket price was at one point available for a given performance, they are in the clear to advertise as such. There probably were $23 tickets, but they may have already been sold."
This is correct. Phantom does sell 29 dollar tickets for the last couple of rows of the mezz. Therefor, they aren’t pulling the wool over anyone’s eyes as it were. There’s a world of difference if they said that
As someone who attends Broadway shows, I think that I'd be more taken out of the moment if a fight broke out, than say, something along the lines of a crinkly candy wrapper, cell phone usage etc.
And, as someone who works Broadway shows, I'd also rather deal with the same thing. At least I know I won't be risking getting punched in the process of stopping the aforementioned things.
There's an article in the NY Times that talks about how there have been many times where the audience attending West End shows have gotten physically violent amongst patrons. And, one of the stories mentioned was about someone getting punched for telling a woman to turn off her phone. Goes to show, that, no matter how bad a situation is, there's always something worse going on elsewhere.

I jus got a rush ticket for Mockingbird. Its balcony K 19. I am no longer able to attend and wanted to see if there was someone who wants it.
The cost was 39 dollars, and, like all rush ticket seats for this show its balcony partial view. PM if interested
I'd have to say the most successful theatre company is Nederlander. In addition to Broadway, their big thing has been touring houses for both theatrical productions on tour and concerts, they own dozens nationwide. Not to mention, they own I believe (and this is off hand, so I can be mistaken on the exact number) four West End theatres. Some of their more noticeable locations aside from Broadway/West End are Chicago. There's the newly remained Nderlander theatre there. And, the theatr

I believe they can. For example, the Schoenfield was named after Gerald Schonefeld, someone that worked for Shubert but had zero connection to the world of Broadway beyond the Shubert offices
I have Tourette's as well. However, based upon what I read from the OP's post, mine is far minor in comparison. In fact, when I do tic, many folks think I am sneezing.
Now, in addition to that, I have worked with kids with autism for years. Another population that some don't like to see at the theatre because they can be disruptive. Now, while I am fully in support of the TDF's autism friendly performances, those with Tourette's or other cognitive issues that can

Can the Bway League get involved? Not sure how GalaPro's rollout worked."
I have stated it before and will again, this is nothing but a pipe dream and will never be done across the board on Broadway.
BrodyFosse123 said: "Andrea McArdle has mentioned she had a clause in her ANNIE contract she couldn’t skateboard, which she did extensively."
I feel that would be different than smoking. There's a chance with skateboarding that you can physically get injured. And, with that, not be able to preform until the injury is healed. There are many producers who aren't a fan of the Broadway Show League's softball games for the very same reason. They don'

I’m not as bothered by the new production as others. At the time, spectacular motion scenery was very en vogue (always thought it odd when the barricade coming together got a round of applaus
