Quote from that NY Times Magazine Article:
"Sondheim would welcome changes in the New York theater, but doesn't expect any, despite his long efforts to champion his own Hammerstein-like causes, like the Young Playwrights Festival and the Broadway Initiative, an attempt to lower producing costs. "The theater is an acquired taste," he says. "You don't go by yourself at 10 years old -- you're taken. Children don't acquire that taste anymore because it's too expensive, while movies and TV are shoved in their face from the beginning. I don't think the theater will die per se, but it's never going to be what it was. You can't bring it back. It's gone. It's a tourist attraction.""
