| I've been fortunate to see the two shows now open on Broadway, and unfortunate to sit behind people who abused the masking regulations. At Springsteen on Broadway last week, a clear announcement was made about masking and Springsteen made a point of thanking the audience for wearing masks. Despite that, the person in front of me didn't wear his mask, and, when I asked him to please put it on, he gestured toward his glass to show me that he was drinking. He sipped slowly enough to make the drink last for the entire show, and never put his mask on. I had a very similar experience last night at Pass Over, though this time I chickened out and didn't even try to ask for compliance. Is there some way to eliminate this loophole for masking other than just banning food and drink at your seat? When some of the NY specialized movie houses like Film Forum reopened this year, they initially kept their concession stands closed to allow masking at all times. Would Broadway theaters lose substantial income or have other problems by not allowing audiences to eat and drink at their seats? I know that, in the past, drinks could only be consumed in the bar area. |
