It's time to talk about Bootleg culture, kids. Oct 26

We are talking about bootlegs of broadway shows, so that falls under intellectual property rights. Those are civil statutes. Controlled substances and child pornography are criminal offenses. They aren't even remotely comparable.

Not to get too deep into this, since I didn't see the post or the link, but it should be said: owning a bootleg video is not illegal. For the person who owned or shared the original bootleg to be in any type of legal trouble, the rights- holder would have to be able to prove (s)he made the recording her/himself.
RaisedOnMusicals said: "Second, the LA Times is not a critic. It's a newspaper. The author of the DEH review is Charles McNulty, who's very well respected."
For reviews, opinions, and even news, it is absolutely acceptable to informally cite the publication or news organization as the source, and not the individual author. You're simply being argumentative.
These live broadcasts aren't meant to advance the careers of their stars. The star casting is meant only as a way to attract an audience. If Lady Gaga is a fan of Joseph, she'd do it because she's a fan. Carrie Underwood had no career reason to do The Sound of Music, None of the cast of the Wiz needed career reasons, Hairspray had the right caliber of talent, but wrong caliber of fame, but they didn't need it for career advancement. Same with Grease and the recent Jesus Christ

Much like apartment landlords pricing apartments for multiple tenants and not single tenants, commercial landlords are pricing their properties for large corporate tenants. It's nothing but pure greed.

While that may or not be true, he can't just simply give them money. There are legal hurdles that the owners may not want to deal with.
BuddyStarr said: "Finally got to see this production after waiting a year from when i bought the tickets. I got them for my husband for Christmas last year so he waited a long time for the payoff. It was worth it though. JKR has a way with telling a story. We read all the books a while ago and rewatched the movies this past summer and I think it really helps with the story line. I can't imagine not knowing anything and seeing it, I think I'd be lost.

I don't know about the tour, but in the original production there's an "explosion" right before the chandelier ascends, before the start of the overture.
Actually, with such a short time, the subway and airtrain would probably be your safest option, though it's just as prone to delays as traffic is. Driving will take about 40min to 1hr, 15min. Half of that is Manhattan alone. Either way, you'd be lucky to be at the gate by 6pm. I'd check Google maps for travel time info the second the show ends to see which would be faster.
Also, bear in mind, that the TSA may not be operating Pre-Check at all terminals. When they
Babe_Williams said: "That makes sense and thanks for answering! I see someone mentioned that Wickeddid lotteries, and I noticed that Wicked did a lot promotions to get bodies in seats. School of Rock and Chicago, student rush only--Wicked? Nearly sold out. SoR and Chicago, dismal, dismal sales. I get that they don't want to train people to look for discounts and it must be a difficult line to walk, but who wants to play to such an empty crowd?"
itsjustmejonhotmailcom said: "@Babe_Williams That decision is made jointly between the venue, the tour management company and the producer. The pricing for each stop on the tour is negotiated pretty far in advance, and any discounts that aren't agreed to then need to be agreed to by all parties later. Venues often don't like to discount because unlike Broadway, they need their audiences to come back to see other shows and don't want to train them to look for discounts.

Lea Michele, despite what she thinks, is not a household name and wouldn't sell any more tickets than Jane Doe from Parsippany.

What? There's an entire song in the show– in fact it opens Act II– about how the children of American soldiers and Vietnamese women are gathered into camps because they are looked at as less than human (sound familiar?), specifically because they are mixed race!
"There’s Kim (Emily Bautista), an innocent Vietnamese village girl turned prostitute — both virgin and whore — who doesn’t get to speak until she catches the eye of a white American GI, as if it’s not till then she matters or even exists. She’s so selflessly, slavishly devoted to him, even after he leaves her, that she kills herself over him. She
My quibble with this revival remains to be the the many lyric changes, most of which are pedestrian, and the horrendous new song for Ellen. I actually thought the physical production was pretty good. Definitely grittier than its predecessor design from the non-Equity tour from the beginning of this century.
The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee used a thrust stage set-up at Circle in the Square, and was not in the round. I could see a show like Come From Away easily adapted into that type of space.
