Kennedy Center ticket sales have dramatically plummeted since Trump takeover Oct 31 2025, 10:23:14 AM

Since early September, 43 percent of tickets remained unsold for the typical production. That means that, at most, 57 percent of tickets were sold for the typical production — and some tickets may have been “comps,” which are given away, often to staff members or the press. That compares with 93 percent sold or comped in fall 2024 and 80 percent in fall 2023.
That's quite a drop!"
Looks like the drop is coming to Broadway too!

The Current State of Broadway in 2025 Oct 25 2025, 07:18:15 AM
malcs98 said: "Kad said: "We have had substantially worse seasons- remember, in 1995, there were only two eligible musicals up for Best Musical and a total of only 26 eligible shows across all categories. But things are exceptionally unsettled right now thanks to the Trump administration's actions. I assume we'll see a leaner season in comparison to the last two, something more akin to the lackluster 09-10 recession season."

Why not?! Spread more hate and division in our country. I thought the Libs were supposed to be respectful of different views and inclusive?
Oh wait, you’d rather spread more hate. I can’t wait for the Karma to hit again!

Kristin Chenoweth and recent events Sep 12 2025, 08:35:59 AM
if anyone is wondering why the attendance numbers on Broadway are falling, just read these comments.
The Broadway community has preached so much hate against conservatives and President Trump, they are finally getting a long well deserved dose of KARMA.
May you all learn a well-deserved lesson on HATE while you’re standing in the unemployment lines. Conservatives vote with their pockets and they’re tired of feeding the hateful trolls.

NYT: New York City Predicted Record Tourism. Then Came Trump. Sep 8 2025, 07:01:54 AM
What do you expect? You all trashed him and his supporters for years, instead of respecting differences in opinions like your party claims to do... Now you get a well-deserved dose of Karma

Les MIs tour cast to Boycott Trump performance Jun 11 2025, 07:07:05 PM
Call_me_jorge said: "“10 to 12 cast members of the current Les Misérables tour plan to sit out the June 11 show,” are there performers being flown in to cover these tracks? How are they planning to continue with the performance?"
I hope that if these “professionals” do this, Trump closes the Center, rips out everything theatrical and reopens it as a museum!

Donald Trump Takes Over the Kennedy Center Feb 8 2025, 02:23:13 PM
Personally, this is one of my most FAVORITE moves that Trump has made so far. The Broadway community has long embraced Democrats and welcomed them. The minute Trump went in office they totally attacked him. They themed a Shakespeare in the Park play that mimicked the assassination of a man who looked like him. They lied about him and his family, made fun of him and spoke out against him as much as they could. Since then, the Broadway experience has gone the way of extremes and DEI. It ne

Can we just start planning for an Audra McDonald LCT Barlett Sher Follies now? Dec 9 2024, 07:21:16 AM
Georgeanddot2 said: "I kind of hate to say it, but I think Follies is about f*cked up white people and a lot of the things they sing and talk about in the show are very specific and do not really reflect black life or experiences of that era.
I do wonder if having a black Sally and Buddy with a white Ben and Phyllis would add an interesting layer to the show"
Racism in Follies. What a stretch.

Hopefully, Broadway will be held accountable for spreading hate, misinformation and division. America voted that it will no longer be tolerated. Karma anyone?

NYP: Broadway sings New York’s blues as crime, costs slow post-COVID comeback Jun 20 2024, 09:00:12 AM
Jordan Catalano said: "BroadwayPatriot said: "There are Trump supporters everywhere most of them are normal”
No, they’re not.
“It’s the Trump cultist with the MAGA stuff that are bizarre”
No, they all are because they value a fake billionaire/failed reality tv game show host/convicted felon/rapist over the lives and safety of people around them

JK Rowling Concerns Apr 16 2024, 07:00:48 PM
Of course people on here will be concerned, throw books away, hate her for her opposing views and disavow their love for Harry Potter.
How pathetic can you be when you completely erase a person because their opinion differs from yours.

Isaac Butler NYT piece: Jul 21 2023, 03:47:27 PM
Why should Broadway be bailed out when every other dying business in America has to suck it up by itself and either solve the problem or close. Broadway is no different. If the public can’t support it, the public obviously isn’t interested. Scale Broadway show down to live within their means. Quit crying for a frigging handout. Be adults… if you can’t pay your bills, go get another type of job. Lazy people want government handouts,

Patti LuPone argues with anti-masker at Company talkback May 12 2022, 07:24:54 AM
Ah, the classless, rude, always plays the same part big mouth is at it again! Will someone please tell LuPone patrons DO pay her salary. Where does she think her producers get the cash from?! Nitwit. She’s the perfect reason why Broadway is suffering. Woke Broadway isn’t working. It’s not just Covid.

Maybe it’s time for Lin Manuel to open his wallet and help Broadway, being that he’s made millions the past few years off of it.

You people are pathetic. You’re like a bunch of immature mean girls who don’t like who is in the audience, so let’s stomp our feet and refuse to perform!
You’re the exact reason why this country is so divided. May Karma visit you all and have you play to empty houses.
