Is April Too Soon?

Of course- none of us know- and we all hope not-, but I, for one, am not so sure. Yes, I have my MM ticket for April 14- and also bought two for June- and am hopeful that I will want to get on a plane and fly to NYC from Atlanta. But, with the virus out of control- vaccines a maybe- and when they do arrive- the testing- the amount of coverage, the side affects- all need to be monitored. Anyway, although I am hopeful- I do not count out the possibility that this will go on and on...like that Titanic song.

There is literally no way of knowing right now.

Oy.

Nobody knows...

Is April too soon is your original question, right? I'd say yes. The idea that Broadway is suddenly announcing it is re-up now is a bit silly to me. It's for a profit. They're looking to take your $ again, and if things are pushed back, everyone will wonder once again when they'll get their refund. It's absurd, but not at all unexpected. I'm as hopeful as the next for things to return to the usual, but this is just painful to watch as I know so many are eager enough to spend money on hope.

Or you could just let them hope? Hope is fairly hard to come by right now. I don't get the sense that any of this is set in stone and people were refunded before they can easily be refunded again."

I literally don't have the power to stop anyone from doing anything, nor is it my place/business/interest to, so I can't stop anyone from hoping. So, by all means, hope away. Doesn't stop me from thinking it's a bit depressing, though.

No way that is coming with any sort of inside knowledge or definiteness. Sounds like someone within the Wicked organization is speculating.

I think it's 50-50 at this point. We'll have a better sense of where we are vaccine and treatment-wise soon after we find out whether or not Trump will serve another term.

Personally, I am hoping the vaccine comes from a non-USA company's that the idiot in the White House can't start taking credit for it. Of course, it was pointed out to me by a friend that our stock is so low across the planet right now that we may not be high on the list to get the vaccine when it is ready. I have to admit that I have no idea how the manufacturing process works. I would assume that manufacture will be made available at the same time to companies all over the planet
