| You are far more knowledgeable than I am and I know you work in theatre -- I'm just a fan. IMO you certainly are not ignorant -- I love reading your posts -- but you seem to be very naive about the business aspect and/or economics of theatre. I am friends with many theatre historians and writers, who have given me quite an education about the money aspect of producing theatre. Do you ever interact with any of the respected theatre historians outside of your generation? Just curious. | |

| Thank you for the complimentary portion of the post! In what ways do you find me so very naive about the business/economics of theater? I'm not saying I'm not, I've never personally produced a show on Broadway. I have worked with my people who have/do... but that doesn't mean I know nearly as much as I might need to to understand it. I don't mean to post as if I do know, I am posting based on what I observe or think I understand or what I posit. What from this post do you think I have so wrong? I don't think I'm wrong at all that FLYING's lack of sales and early closing has quite a lot to do with the COVID situation, before it went on sale and with the omicron breakout and surge happening in NYC in the last 5 weeks of the show's scheduled run. I don't think I'm wrong that major non-profits, including LCT, almost always let their scheduled shows run the scheduled run even if they are "flops". I don't know how one "interacts" with respected theatre historians... in my generation or outside it. But I do know quite a few people of older generations who know a lot, and of my own who know as much or more than I do. I don't consult them before I post here. But what would have changed about my assertions if I had? |

| Could you possibly be more condescending? | |
