Article would more accurately be titled "Six things old trolls whine about, Broadway Edition."
"Tracy... Hold Mama's waffles."

Trips to Vegas cost too much too but people manage to find the cash.
There is only one reason "Don't want to."

@castlestreet
But you read it and posted here about it. As did I. :) It's a mindless column but I do read it.

Honestly, I always thought Broadway shows were way too expensive. Once I discovered that there are many, many ways to get reasonably priced tickets I started going almost on a weekly basis.

Posted: 8/22/12 at 1:27pmIs Musto historically hard on Disney? Doesn't matter to me either way, but The Lion King has a top ticket price of $197.50 and Mormon is $477.

#7: Most people don't know or care what good theatre is.
#8: Most people are dumb.
#9: They're afraid they'll get mentioned in a blind item in Musto's column after they go.
#10The six reasons people don't go to Broadway shows.
Posted: 8/22/12 at 1:45pm#10: They didn't know there were other shows and you can only see Phantom, Wicked, and The Lion King so many times.

#11: DEATH of a Salesman? Too depressing. Besides, everyone read it in high school. Who cares? WEST SIDE STORY? They saw the movie. Why is "Officer Krupkee" towards the end? That's fvcked up y'all.

I think Corine should go on Theater Talk. It might be hard to watch the whole 30 minutes, but Michael and Susan might tear her the new one she needs. Okay, maybe not Susan.
Maybe she can appear with Musto?

Posted: 8/22/12 at 2:33pmWill she wear her ratty old bedroom slippers like Musto wears to the theater?

Posted: 8/22/12 at 3:25pmI think Musto is hilarious and different. I can't believe the price of theatre tickets for Broadway productions!!!!!!!!!!!
All problems are man made and so, can be man solved.

#20The six reasons people don't go to Broadway shows.
Posted: 8/22/12 at 5:48pmThe main thing that keeps people away is that so many musicals were based on movies that were much better.
#21The six reasons people don't go to Broadway shows.
Posted: 8/22/12 at 6:57pmDoes Musto actually get paid for these tiny "articles" for the Viallage Voice? They feel like they must take all of three minutes to type out.

Posted: 8/22/12 at 8:30pmIt's really not true that Broadway shows are too expensive--rush tickets are very affordable, often cheaper than regular off-Broadway prices and equal to the cost of off-off-Broadway shows.
