| well folks have always refused to buy tickets to what they view as crap shows but the point here is that the people being described by the OP (i.e., weekday outer borough Broadway-bound subway-riders who go to work circa 8AM) are a statistically insignificant group of people for Broadway musicals (even Hamilton on weeknights) and an early curtain loses other more significant demographics (e.g., those who work more typical NYC hours, like until 6 or so; tourists who want to eat first; etc.) |
