| I assume the show costs around $800k to run. So 40% capacity of its historic $2.5m weekly gross probably is enough. 25% capacity would be losing money. I see the problem more of publicity nightmare if it becomes a super spreader event and might have to shutdown again. |

| The weekly gross had been over $3m, no? In any case, it means little because this is a show that has shown an ability to sell very high priced tickets such that percentages don't mean anything. In general, Page Six (or the Post anywhere) is the last place I would look for reliable info on Hamilton or anything else including Covid. That said, nothing is going to open until the state says it is safe. There will not be a reopening when there can be superspreader events, and Cuomo has never ever said what the article says about reopening. We will see what the facts are in the moment, which coincidentally has been Cuomo's mantra throughout. Right now, Everyone should be focused on keeping the virus at bay. The positive percentage in my zip code is about 1.5% so we are hopefully doing our part to make superspreading a non-event. |

| You'd still have to re-mount the original FOLLIES to get me to sit in a theater breathing the same still air as the same other 200-400 people for 2-3 hours. (before there's a widely available vaccine) And i truly doubt everyone, in the dark, who is willing to be there, would keep their mask on the entire show. That's just me. But good luck to everyone willing to pay to do this even with a top notch film of the stage production available streaming. |

| Even I would go to that because I want to see if that original production was really as amazing as everyone claims or just another case of false memories. | |

| I don't know why those are the two options. Whether one loves the material or not, there doesn't seem to be any question that the direction, staging, costumes, sets, lighting, and cast were all both deeply intelligent and sensational. But have you not seen the videos and photos at least that exist of it? I have no doubt that it was every bit what everyone says it was. |

| Thats my worry as well - people taking off their masks once the house lights go down. The poor ushers already had enough to deal with with cellphones - now add them policing the audience for masks as well? The amount of distracting arguments and fights that will likely result from people trying to take off their masks and others calling them out on it is enough to ruin my night so I'll be holding off on going back. | |
