Get real.
Sometimes, on school nights, you go out and do things and stay out until midnight or later. This is New York City, this is why I moved to New York City - I came here to live life and enjoy myself. If I wanted the show over and to be home and in bed by 7 p.m. so I can turn on Jeopardy and fall asleep, I'd throw in the towel now and head to a retirement home in Ft. Myers.
As for the shows not selling the first week - so what? It's the first week. I've seen Buffett numerous times throughout the years in many fine venues across the country, many of those nights I simply don't remember, but I do remember many of them being Tuesdays and Thursdays where, voila, the show started at 8 p.m. In being familiar with his music and his following, I'd say the show right now, is very very "light" in making itself known. Let the thing get open, work out the kinks for Broadway, and send Buffett himself on the Today show to pimp it out and if that doesn't work, then let's talk. |
