re: "It turns out that the American theater has no towering figure even attempting to lead it through this crisis, the way Andrew Lloyd Webber has in Britain. "
Understood. I was responding to a post that in turn was responding to a post about the quote in the subject line. ALW's "leadership" has consistently been to aid the theatre workers by reopening theatres before it is safe (and in ways that are horrifically unsafe in even more ways). Hence the reaction that the quote prompted for Michael (and me). Getting workers back to work by providing them unsafe jobs is quintessential Tory economics. I think the article has much that's good, other than that doozy.
