danmag, I love that comment your husband made! Hahah. But jokes aside, whoever sent that letter is such a creeper! I mean, who takes the time to even to that?!
schmerg, I always got weird looks from people who passed by. I just wanted to yell "I MISS MY CHILDHOOD, OK?!" But instead, I moved to my own private swing.
"You have two kinds of shows on Broadway – revivals and the same kind of musicals over and over again, all spectacles. You get your tickets for The Lion King a year in advance, and essentially a family... pass on to their children the idea that that's what the theater is – a spectacular musical you see once a year, a stage version of a movie. It has nothing to do with theater at all. It has to do with seeing what is familiar.... I don't think the theatre will die per se, but it's never going to be what it was.... It's a tourist attraction." Stephen Sondheim
