Playbill ( How Inappropiate)

I was saddened to read on Playbill of an artist sadly lost their life in an occupational accident (Olivier Rochette), it is sad enough when any artist dies, never alone in a workplace accident.

I couldn't believe my eyes reading Playbill, when at the end of the article it said that Cirque Du Soleil are represented on Broadway by Paramour, which is linked to a place to buy tickets, as if on reading this I want to go and make a purchase, this for me is rash, brash and imprudent and actually makes me angry, as it cheapens something that I find very sad.

I'm pretty sure most Broadway news sites, including this one, Broadway.com, and Playbill, when posting an article, automatically link any show to mentioned to that show's site-specific information page regarding that show so the reader can get more information if they please.When you click the unlined word "Paramour" it brings you to Paramour's Playbill page, not to the ticket buying site itself or even a show sponsored page.

That aside, what happened is tragic and I send his loved ones my deepest condolences.

Phantom of London, while that kind of info being included isn't unusual, you bring up a good point. Did you email/tweet/fb comment to them about this?
