| Broadway reopening is integral to the state’s finances. At the moment, shows are closing at the last minute because of a lack of appropriate coverage when a cast member becomes ill. Broadway producers who are part of the trade organization run by Ms. Martin and are integral for driving tourists to New York. When people spend hundreds to thousands of dollars to come to New York to attend Broadway and the shows they’re seeing close at the last second due to a cast coverage, it is likely that you lose those audience members. And they will not come back. When tourist money disappears, who do you think suffers? New Yorkers will have to make up the difference in tax revenue lost with increased state and local taxes. The very people currently out of jobs because the shows are cancelled. Ms. St. Martin and her team have had 20 months to figure out the best way for the industry to reopen and plan for the worst. Instead, shows are proceeding with crackerjack policies in place and are closing because of them. My suggestion, do not open shows without enough coverage. Hire more understudies, swings and covers. Spend the money on the actors who the audiences are coming to see. Without them, there are no shows. A word to the wise, being pennywise and pound foolish will ultimately be the industry’s demise. The League, its executives and it’s 700 producer membership are only in it to line their pockets when the actors and crew of their shows are risking their health and livelihoods. Remember, she’s failing and receiving $500,000 a year. What did you make last year? What did you make this year? What do the actors make when the show is closed because of COVID? Certainly not that. We all can’t cash out, turn our back on Broadway and try to spend our parent’s money on a feeble attempt to buy one’s way into the world of fashion. #whatjordaniswearing |
