did any Play By Play member attend the "mystery" Broadway show this week?  If yes, what show was it?

I did, but I didn't comment on it because I'm sure it's against the rules of membership to divulge what show it was.

It's not like they'll know who you are....dumb rule any way, if anything it would boost membership numbers.

The rule is actually extremely logical. If the information were made public, fewer people would purchase tickets to the offered shows, hoping to get them for free through the papering service. Then as a result the shows would stop offering tickets to the service.

The shows that are put up are, more times than not, already not selling tickets, so it defeats your alleged logic.

They're not doing well, but that doesn't mean they are selling ZERO tickets. If anything, that just proves my point because those are the shows that can't afford to be deprived of any more sales than they already have been. And publicly revealing which productions are offered for free on a papering service can easily reduce a show's sales.
