| Indeed. It seems to me that even out here, there have been a number of people saying they don't want to have to wear a mask for a while performance, so they're choosing not to go to shows. Of course, yes, there will also be many on the opposite side of the argument, who would go if people are masked, but will be wary of going if people aren't. |

| and the correct answer is that there are both demographics. At some point, probably after Mayday, there will be a calculation of which group wins. My guess is that we might see this go show by show for a while, just as we will see other places that make their own way. | |

| It's very hard for me to believe there could be a "goes show for show" scenario ... Broadway is usually good at unity as a community. Obviously some producers might see the value in being the show anti-mask people can go to, but I'll believe it being policy when I see it. | |

| I don't have any idea and don't mean to suggest I do, but there are many many things where individual landlords and producers are not unified. In fact, on covid related matters in particular, there are some significant differences in terms of how testing is handled, whether there are beverages served on the premises, how vigilantly masking is enforced, and so on. So to me it is not a foregone conclusion. MJ may not care if it loses the more cautious audience but I suspect shows that are dependent on a more traditional, non-touristy crowd could see it differently. But again, I don't know and we shall see. | |
