The more spaces that are used up selling crap, means fewer spaces are available for the ambitious. Like I said, Broadway is not going to die. It is just going to become (using a "foodie" comparison here) a land of Mc Donalds and Burger Kings with no room for the Per Se's or Danielle's. Before you know it, the "art" looks like the outsider. If the Broadway market is populated by more "Beautiful's", "Rock of Ages'" and "Mama Mia's" than there is no space for the "Next To Normals." Thats the fear. And forget about the "Realistic Jonses" and Osage county kind of products. Broadway is just Vegas shows with a longer running time. Look I know this an often repeated. So, I will drop it now. But, just sayin'... Oh, and I love your sort of lyrical, "pick your own parallel." I do not think that sounds silly at all. Sorta brilliant, when you think about it.
