Celebrities in Broadway theatre?

Hey guys! I'm really passionate about theatre and I'm currently helping a friend with his academic project on a really interesting topic – the investigation of the role of celebrities in Broadway theatres.

I would assume as theatre lovers you would have a personal opinion on the topic? Would you be willing to help us to progress with our project by filling in this questionnaire http://goo.gl/forms/l9UaobRXB7 and sharing your view?

"Done. Would have liked the option to select both the West End and Broadway as usually anywhere between a quarter to half of the shows i see in a year are on Broadway while the rest are West End."

I think it depends on who is the celebrity I doubt many would see Brittany Spears on Broadway but many might buy tickets to Geoffrey Rush. I noticed the question said who would you call a person who is a celebrity. I tend to see people who I seen before or heard good reviews. I loved Angela Lansbury in Driving and am waiting for her to do Chalk. I am holding out until she comes. I am also really wanting to see Lin's Hamilton they are Celebrities because they have done good awesome work previously but I doubt the mass would say that.

Thank you very much :) I really appreciate your help :)
