While there are no doubt many inveterate theater goers who will gladly and eagerly return once a vaccine is introduced, I’ve heard from multiple people, friends, and even in my own family that people are just missing theater less than they thought they would be... particularly with regard to the money they’re saving from not having anything to see, which in many cases is equating to thousands of dollars.
Yep. I miss going to the theater dearly, but I have also saved a lot of money these past 4 months. (I don't mean to gloat or anything-- I have been fortunate enough to have a job that allows me to work from home.) It's been rather eye-opening. I've been able to put more money in my savings account these past few months than I have the past few years combined. (And I'm still donating a lot to social justice causes & helping out friends/family with no/limited income.)
I can't wait for Broadway to reopen but I will probably be choosier with what I spend my money on. I probably won't be spending $180 willy-nilly on a preview ticket post-pandemic. If producers want Broadway to survive I think they need to rethink costs & lower ticket prices. Even if that means scaled-down productions. |
