The theater world has responded to the subways before. If the subways are shut down due to a winter storm, the shows are cancelled.

Similarly, I believe they should adapt to the major change in subway track work that was instituted a few months ago. For the past 15+ years I have been taking the subway after a show, the weeknight trackwork (with very limited exceptions) has always started at midnight. Now, a major change has occurred. Due to the crumbling infrastructure, as of approx November 2017, the subway trackwork now starts (with limited exceptions) at 9:30pm/9:45pm. Just look at Tuesday night's trackwork on the MTA website and you'll know what I mean - these are very major service disruptions as of 9:30pm/9:45pm. Total shutdowns of the system are occurring along Queens Blvd (E/F/R), Morningside Heights (#1), Ozone Park (A), and Flatbush (#2) starting 9:30pm Tuesday night. You will need to take a shuttle bus. Manhattan customers will see significant reroutes as well.

winter storms are catastrophes, and cost the theatre dearly (and sometimes disastrously). You can't respond to an ongoing crisis that way because it will kill the patient. This problem is bigger than you and bigger than the theatre, but your solution does not make the slightest bit of sense.
