And anecdotal evidence here matters: I've sat in 8 audiences since 9/14, most less than half full (other than a gifted return to Hamilton), everyone chatting about the use of TDF or the equivalent. Balconies are empty, the rear mezz closed off. Two friends were among 200 in the expanse of the 1200 seat Beaumont recently; I sat there with about 500. There is no economic model that supports this new reality wherein only Music Man, Six, and Hamilton define success.

agreed and generally confirmed. I think there is all sorts of projecting going on right now, both inside and outside the business. I think we are going to see a lot more adjustments before we are done. If this season has proven one thing it is that leaving the marketing people in charge has been a poor choice. (I'd also point out, as I have, that the SVOG and similar money has prompted a whole host of economic distortions. Its heart was in the right place but acting quick (which was essential) deprives us of quality analysis.
