| Very sad to hear. The last show I saw before the covid shut down was the immersive The Boys in the Band. Agree that it was spectacular. I've also observed that theaters here are far from full. There are many possible reasons and I think one can draw a parallel to peoples desire to work from home. I'm speaking very broadly, but there seems to be a desire by some people to create an insular, hassle free environment for themselves whenever possible. The opposite of being out and about and seeking communal experiences. I think social media fuels that impulse too. It's so easy to stay in, yet feel you are connected to the world. That's not the way I feel, but I see it in some of my friends. |

| now entire series drop all episodes every week on different streaming services and that takes 10 plus hours to watch a series. Why bother seeing a live show when you can watch a few episodes on netflix, hulu, prime or max. | |

| But that was the case pre-Covid, so it’s not really a factor. | |

| HBO Max launched May 2020--clearly was in the works before covid but is well established during covid. And i would think a lot of people like me that really didn't stream much before COVID got very used to doing so during COVID and continue to do so especially by upgrading home equipment like i did during summer 2020. | |
