How can Broadway "as we know it" be back in four or five months? What shows have set an opening date and who is selling tickets?

I shudder to think how long it may take for "Broadway as we know it" to come back. I think we need to be content with any baby steps that (hopefully) will happen within the next 9 months.

Do we even want Broadway as we knew it? It became an over-priced dumping ground for Las Vegas-like productions specifically to attract tourist dollars.

I am hoping that producers will rethink the role on Bway in NYC, but I'm not holding my breath.

No, we don't, but let's remember a couple of things. First, Broadway is a lot more than the dumping ground you describe. Please don't hold your breath (blue is not a good color for you) but yes it would be lovely if there was a little less of the Las Vegas-like. Maybe if the non-tourists show more support for what they have been missing, there will be more opportunity to program to a somewhat different demographic. Regarding producers, honestly, that's a tall order but it also betrays a secret: it is audiences that drive programming. Unless and until tourists return, programming for them will not return. (And this is why I keep posting that all of these evergreens everyone is expecting on day one will not reopen then.)
