Should we be impressed because that fat slob slept through a few Broadway shows? Yup, he’s so cultured, sophisticated, and well-read. A true patron of the arts.

Agree. He only wants to break it down and sell it for parts…just like he’s doing to the country. He’s never attended a cultural event in his life. He’s strictly MMA and pro wrestling. He’s as tacky and uncultured as a person can be—perfect for America in 2025.

No surprise. Everything he touches turns to sh*t. He soiled the White House, now the LC. Again, shocking to witness the U.S. sink in real-time.

Donald Trump Takes Over the Kennedy Center

Yup, he’s a special kind of stupid. Also tacky, vulgar, and gross. Again, this gives him a prime opportunity to stick it to all the cultured elites who have flatly rejected him over the years. And his mouth-breathing followers are loving it all.

OMG what a f*cking moron we have in #47!!
I sincerely hope that the unions (AEA, IATSE, SDC, etc) will refuse to work at the Kennedy Center and that every tour bookingis cancelled. They may take a small financial hit --- but enough is enough.

Country is Changing

Open hate and bigotry, which have always existed just below the surface in this country are quickly bubbling to the surface. Trump lovers now have full permission to infect America with their twisted views.
We’re watching it unfold in real-time. A once great nation is in undeniable decline. A nation that is watching its global respect and influence dwindle. A global pariah. A global laughingstock.

How about assuming the audience is smart enough to understand the connections? We don’t need to be smacked in the face. I agree that plenty of ‘muricans do, but not people attending a political play starring George Clooney. We already get it.

To the folks who have seen this in the last night or so, has it gotten any better? Is Denzel still struggling? Are too many actors still mumbling and speaking too fast? Are audience members still laughing during the supposedly tense moments?

NYT: 5 Years After Covid Closed the Theaters, Audiences Are Returning

Well, many of these “experts” have been predicting a recession for the past few years. It’s like they’ve been trying to will it to happen. So far, we’ve dodged the bullet, but certainly this feels different. It’s obvious why. Anyway, no idea why foreign tourists would visit the U.S. It would be last on my list. In fact, it wouldn’t be on my list at all.
I agree that Broadway specifically, and entertainment in general, will need to

Curious to see what impact the current (and safe to say, ongoing) economic chaos has on Broadway, concerts, etc. I’ve already curtailed my entertainment spending. Assume I’m not alone.

Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 3/9/25

So many simpletons here. If productions are charging high ticket prices—and people are paying it—that means Broadway is making money. And if Broadway is making money, that means it’s likely to stick around. Really hope you can wrap your tiny brain around that concept. It’s hard, but keep trying.

Are the people who post in this thread even Broadway fans? Man, so cranky and snarky every week. Be happy Broadway had a solid week and so many people are willing to shell out big bucks for a play. It’s not a competition. The more plays and musicals that do well, the better. Very strange.

There’s a limit to what most people can afford. With the growing economic chaos in this country, I’m hesitant to drop big bucks on anything—and that certainly includes theatre tickets. Sucks that reality has to get in the way of fun, but that’s life right now.

I think that’s the issue. People are spending a lot of money and expect a polished production. If folks were spending less, they’d be more flexible and forgiving.

Between this, Al Pacino’s struggles in China Doll, Tayne Daly dropping out of Doubt with an “illness,” and George Clooney stressing about blanking on his lines, makes me think Broadway is a young person's game. For those who have been attending Broadway shows for years, has older performers forgetting their lines always been a thing? Or a more recent occurrence?

I admit that sloppy attire bothers me more than most. But what REALLY drives me crazy is peoples’ inability to go an hour or two without shoving food into their faces. Guess this why the obesity rate is sky high and rising.

Wouldn’t make a bit of difference. People just don’t care. The rules don’t apply to them. They’ll do what they want and f—— you if you don’t like it. The decline in audiences is startling. It starts with attire. People are slobs. Don’t care what they look like as long as they’re comfortable. Sweats. Flip-flops, T-shirts. Anything goes. Remember when women wore nice dresses and men wore suits? That was a lifetime ago.

Would make zero difference if they did. Far too many people are fat, classless, slovenly, vulgar, loud pigs. No clue how to behave in public. And worse, they don’t care. They take an odd pride in being feral. Can’t shame the stupid and shameless.
Menken Fan said: "ErmengardeStopSniveling said: "Here’s an idea: what if there was a toothless and overly-long letter printed in the program for every show reminding people of how to behave? That would be a quick solve to all problems right???????"
A couple of years ago, right after lockdown, Playbills included something like this. I'm not sure if they still do anymore.
