I agree with your excellent analysis except for point 5. I think there are a lot of people with extra travel money burning a hole in their proverbial pockets. If hotels and airlines continue to have lower rates than typical, this will fuel the desire to return to "before time" travel behavior, including New York and New York theater. Some may stay away, yes, but fear of Covid is more diffuse in the hinterlands and if Broadway is even remotely called safe, barricades will be stormed. Heck, if Ted Cruz's daughters can get him to travel to Mexico in a snowstorm, imagine what the Six-loving, slime crowd can get their parents to do.

I can't argue with that because no one can actually know the contours. There is no question that there are people with money in their pockets, but there are also many with none. I agree that folks who have worked through the pandemic, have been armed (no pun intended) with an effective vaccine, and are theatre lovers may come but I guess the question is the depth of that audience for a year or so. My sense is that the expectation is that there will be a heavy dependence on relatively local audiences. The added consideration is that the shows that will sell early on (to locals) may not be the ones people will travel in to see. Could I and others be dead wrong? Yep.
