Who knows what's playing ??? No one in Brooklyn.....!!!

You all miss the point.....I am a lifetime theater person - even had a show that was set to open once. I have seen and enjoyed scores of shows,,,,loved the experience. BUT NOW....the Brooklyn audiences, and this one playhwright/theatergoer, are lost. I have little idea of what is playing, what is coming, what is closing. After COVID, the New York Times, as an exaample, stopped showing the listing of Broadway shows.....Now, i am at a loss....I suddenly see a commercial onTV but have no idea what the slow is all about.....if i have heard of it at all. Congestion pricing is the latest nail in the coffin....We, in th e'outer boroughs' have problems with mass transit at night...to see a show...if we know what show is running. Comming home on mass transit at 1am to a deserted streetcorner is not exactly fun. I would have gone to see a funny look at the 'Jaws' shark play(?) but did not know about it.....Braids??? no idea.You are losing a major part of the usual audiences....now, you rely on the rich inManhattan and the rich touristss.....Not the way I love and enjoy the theater.

In this day and age you have no one but yourself to blame if you can't keep up. I live in BOSTON and know what's going on

Let's not be too harsh. I can have some sympathy for older generations who have not fully adapted to the 21st century. Everything can be done on your phone now. So much so that now businesses and public services now rely on it. Costs are cut by losing staff, humans do not matter any more. Banking, grocery shopping etc. Not to mention the stresses of being able to afford the newest iPad or whatever other technology is needed just to meet basic living requirements.

That said, if you are able to complain here you are also able to look at the listings.

What do we know about K-Mart, Ray?

I would attend more movies if newspapers still carried movie ads and showtimes. Just sayin’.

An Uber? Is that a new-fangled thing?

Most shows have moved their evening curtains earlier, too. But that news might not have reached Brooklyn yet.

But you do have two easy ways around this. The best is simply to book a hotel room for the day you will be attending the show and then you can just go home the following afternoon. I can think of several good hotels where it would not be more than $200 at most. The second alternative would be to just take a cab to your front door. That might not go more than $50."

Third alternative: Afternoon matinee. Easier and cheaper.

Still so many acting like a vicious pack of hyenas going for the jugular! Lighten up on people. Jeez!

So you’re suggesting someone who lives in Brooklyn should spend $200 for a hotel so they don’t have to take the spooky scary NYC subway home at 11:00pm? And yes an Uber would be considerably less expensive."

Maybe they aren't aware in Brooklyn but there is this new thing I hear called a matinee.

Addressing the ridiculousness of the OPs post is going for the jugular? M'kay.
