Just to add to the Broadway discussion; the below is from my notes of the AGM in July 2019. Obviously Covid will have changed things but hey, who knows?
'Steven Han**** has been working on the John Gore / Broadway project for 9 months. Theatres are now at capacity, there is no way to physically expand the number of seats, ticket prices are deemed to be at maximum and, despite bringing in more matinee performances, there are both union and performer workload reasons to restrict further performances. Being so, JG sees MelodyVR as an opportunity to increase revenues. Of interest were the figures given on incomes; the average US Broadway show attendee earns $240k per annum against the average music concert attendee of $35k per annum. Theatre will come a lot more to the fore in 2020.'
