Yes,we speak of thing that matter
With words that must be said
“Can analysis be worthwhile?”
“Is the theatre really dead?”
And how the room is softly faded
And I only kiss your shadow
I cannot feel your hand
You’re a stranger now unto me
Lost in the dangling conversation
And the superficial sighs
In the borders of our lives

You know how we always think those doomsday people are crazy every time they try to predict the end of the world? Broadway doomsdayers are like that. They've always been around and they've always been wrong and they've always sounded silly.
Sort like the "R.I.P. Times Square" people. Time Square is still here. It's changed in the past, it's changing now and it will change in the future. Just like everything else in life.
Now, if these stupid doomsday laments would become a dying art form, I'd gladly throw the wake.

Is this question asked every year? Every five years? Were you stepping out with Stephanie? Were you NOT?
Is Wicked really closing in 2025? What about The Lion King? Next time, on Serial.
#16Is Broadway a dying art form?
Posted: 12/22/14 at 4:03pmDennis Cunningham once said "the more the world get technologically advanced the more people will crave live theater." This question has been ask many times and the answer is, I believe no. We need good theater to make us more human and to think.

Posted: 12/22/14 at 5:14pmWhat's funny about that Simon and Garfunkel quote is that one of those dangling conversations has mostly been severed. The theatre has survived, but Freudian analysis was not proven to be all that worthwhile as a basis for psychology.

Yes. George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart said so.
In 1938.

Posted: 12/22/14 at 6:41pmHow can it be dying when TDF lists Big Apple Circus' "Metamorphosis" as a Broadway offering?

I've been seeing Broadway shows since the 70s.
This is far from the deadest Broadway has ever been.
Far from it!
#22Is Broadway a dying art form?
Posted: 12/22/14 at 8:48pm"Broadway" is not an art form. It is just a location and perfect for commercial, family friendly, crap theatre. Theatre as an art form is not dying. For great theatre go to off Broadway, Chicago or DC.

Posted: 12/22/14 at 9:30pm^ Correct. I can't believe others didn't realize that the OP called Broadway an 'art form.'
