Foreigners aren't coming over this summer. Europeans and Canadians aren't traveling to the US this summer. Maybe Asians are, haven't seen numbers on them, but it's a drastic plunge that likely doesn't aide in any struggling shows."

You would be wrong - as someone who works at a long running Broadway show - 60% of the crowd are tourists from Europe & Canada , most people do not care the least about Trump andpolitics - I’m in the real world - it’s all tourists - same as always and it’s almost end of June - still waiting for what The View told me to come true, again normal people do not care about politics , they are here . I speak to them , nobody is talking about the things MSMBC told you they care about"

What an obnoxious post filled with lies. I could post a lot of links but I’m not doing your homework for you. I suggest you google “foreign tourists avoid NYC” and you will see all the many news stories about this."

Ok you can keep the articles - I’m working in the industry 6 days a week - I speak to them- nobody cares about what Trump said about Canada or France or whatever - when my show collapses because Trump scaredaway tourists - I’ll be glad to say I was wrong - but until then - you can live in your bubble of conservatives, MAGA, liberals, progressives- when in the real world - most people do not care - unless there is an economic collapse - they will be here and seeing shows , the average person does not breathe WaPo articles , Fox News , NPR etc - still waiting to meet a tourist who cares about Trump lol - try meeting actual humans instead of soaking in doom and gloom media - again I work at. a tourist heavy show - 60% of the audience are foreign- you don’t want to accept it, because some article from The Guardian or The Times told you it’sdoomsday- everyone is boycotting the dumb Orange man and the states , it’s not happening yet- would you be happier if it was ? You want us out of work to satisfy your political obsession ?"

Hun, you can keep saying the same thing over and over but repetition does not make it true. NYC tourism from international locations is wayyyy down. I guess I do have to do your homework for you after all. It’s okay to be wrong. Just admit it (or don’t) and move on. The doubling down of inaccurate info is not helpful.

Again articles making predictions which are not panning out yet- panic media not seeped in reality - get back when you work 19 years solid in a Broadway house - you can cling to the articles - strange Broadway box office is actually up - so repeat after me - doomsday articles are not panning out - notice the key word in every article - predict- predict, do you understand? I predicted the Knicks would win the championship, please don’t come out me with “ predictions” my reading level is quite high - predictions vs reality - the predictions are not happening yet - I’ll let you know when everyone boycotts America over the dumb president - when the actual numbers are released we shall see if the predictions happened- where I work it’s robust business of foreign tourists""

Does it hurt to be so ignorant?"

No it’s awesome to be right because tourism is alive and well, the show I work at is thriving  and I still have a job , I know you want tourism to collapse so you can scream about Trump but to me it’s about my survival and thankfully the Canadians are still coming, the Europeans are still coming , the Japanese are still coming etc

Springtime said: "The New York Times recently reported that the only new musical that has recouped in the last three years is &Juliet.

Just in Time is expected to recoup by Labor Day according to Broadway Journal (if grosses hold). Outsiders may recoup soon."

 

Also MJ recouped in 2023.  HELL'S KITCHEN is getting close.

Yes, actual data points will be more telling, but many of these so-called "doomsday predictions" come from the travel industry and economic development associations who track this information annually.
