Broadway to Close? — Page 7

Correct me if I am wrong but I have heard a few times that yes, Corona virus has been around but this is a different strain and that is what the worry is. I myself am not panicking and doing what I normally do during cold and flue season to keep myself healthy. This panic is what is making it so crazy. JMO

Wishful thinking, but it could be nice."

I made this suggestion earlier on another thread, but to do it in a way that the finished product is worth releasing eventually on the big screen or home video. I would suggest for major productions that they do something similar to the filmed OKLAHOMA! (Royal National Theatre/London) in 1998. That was filmed on a sound stage, almost like a movie. It was expensive ( there was a report from the camera providers then that it cost around $ 4 million at that time) but the filmed effort was worth it - the image clarity and sound quality stood out among other filmed productions.

The League made a statement an hour ago and said shows will go on as planned (for now).

: "Mr Roxy said: "Mayor Big Bird says these measures might last 6 months. If so.many shows closing and few openings. Will investors be ready to jump right back in again? How many restaurants will gone? Many unanswered questions. Will Broadway big wigs learn from this? Somehow I doubt it.A totally different Broadway will rise. For the better? Only time will tell."

Exactly what could PRODUCERS possibly learn from this? Not to invrst in dhows the same season a pandemic will hit? This pro lem hasno lessons for Bway, or businesses.



Its gping to be a cluster f*ck for most humans.
