just got off the phone with a friend that is off
to ny for a short tour.
hold your hat on.
they checked on several plays:
$150 + a $50 surcharge for one ticket.
i may be uninformed, but man...i have seen
prices of $90, but not $200. by the time you get
a cab, something to eat, it is $500 bucks a couple.
mel
you know that football prices this weekend will
be in the $150 range...so, it all goes up.

Mel--
They should go to a tkts booth when they get to town... discounted
tickets for Broadway, Off-Broadway, and other stuff. There's one in
Times Square and one in downtown Brooklyn. They can save A LOT of
money that way.
Also, they should check out the other boroughs... The Brooklyn Academy
of Music (BAM) in downtown Brooklyn usually has something interesting
in their theaters.

I have never been able to relate well or positively, to an enjoyment of the
Theatre.
To me, it is watching a bunch of people pretending.
It is bad enough to have to see this so much in ordinary daily life, for
free, and in occasions where I would rather they were not ( pretending),
that
it seems entirely absurd or disquieting, or both, to have to pay for it,
when, set on an even more artificial Stage or Dias of sorts, it can never b=
e
so subtle or involved as otherwise, anyway.
I understand one is supposed to 'suspend disbelief'...and, maybe that is
some of what disturbs me; it seems to come all too easily to so
many...actors, particularly...which includes those actors who comprise an
Audience.
...sigh...
So, if Tickets were ten Grand, or Two Cents, it would not bother me one bit=
.
It would only people pretending they cost too much, or, pretending they
don't...either way, more of the same.
Lol...

Dear mel jacobson,
A good illustration of the remarkable devaluation of the once mighty US
Dollar,
All the best,

What's wrong with this picture? I recently heard on a radio program that
the union chief stage hand at Carnagie hall is paid about $500,000 per
year. Underlings make $200,000+. Don't think about changing your profess=
ion
from potter to stagehand because that union is closed to outsiders--you ha=
ve
to be born into it.
Like the old joke where the tourist was asking a New Yorker how to get to
Carnagie Hall and the New Yorker replied, "Practice man, practice!"
Musicians and performers have to study a lifetime to get to the point wher=
e they
earn entry to that venue.........I wonder what they earn?
Best regards,
