| Your answer and mine are not at all mutually exclusive. OF COURSE they want and hope for that, but that isn't going to sell 800-1500 tickets at night at $100-175 a ticket. Also, I'm not sure how often you're seeing broadway productions... but I'm not so sure the audiences are getting THAT much more notably or rapidly diverse. I see probably about 20-30 broadway shows a year, plays and musicals, and I do not find this to be that true. I think off-broadway, yes. And certain things have been able to do it... but it's unlikely they will be able to sell a play like this on diverse and young tickets buyers and/or audiences interested in the subject alone... for a broadway run of any kind, especially a commercial run, that will have to be supplemented with a heavy dose of ticket buyers who might not otherwise think to go to this being convinced to because it is prestige or in trend or woke or must-see or whatever/all of the above. I would love if something like this could succeed on broadway with only diverse and younger audiences and people wanting to be actively engaged (rather than just buying a tickets and going to whatever they are "supposed" to see and like because a certain set deemed it the play of the moment, which is I'm sure what it'll be for plenty of people)... I just don't think that's true or possible or today's Broadway. |
