@sweatyoracle: Can You Discuss A Broadway Show You Haven't Seen In Person? #broadway #musicaltheatre #westendtheatre #broadwaytiktok #theatre #theatrekid #theatretiktok #theatretok #sweatyoracle #fyp
In my defense, my crashout was about someone reviewing a Broadway show and performance by their cast recording & I pay for all my tix (for the most part) and no one’s paying me to do it. I think anyone can review ANYTHING - it’s a great way to practice critical thinking and interpreting art, but just say what you’re reviewing and review it as such. “This OBC gives me the impression that this part of the storyline isn’t as strong as I think it should be” > “I’d like to complain about x show because this OBC makes it clear that the Broadway performances & book scenes bad.”

theater bootlegs are such a non issue because for most people there is LITERALLY no other way to see a show. a show is fixed in location and time and that's simply never going to work out for the vast majority of people. should i have told my drama school professors not to show us the peter brook midsummer nights dream because it wouldn't be the same as seeing it in a theater?? they'd laugh you out of the room saying it's essential to your education and what are you gonna do go back in time? people get it when it benefits them, they just have trouble when they are imagining a $200 ticket going unsold that would have lined their own pockets. but they were never getting that money because that person was physically incapable of making it to the show!

The classism behind specifically the bootleg debate is frustrating. I live in Missouri and cannot afford to travel to NYC regardless of whether there's a bootleg. No one is missing out on any money by me watching a bootleg. Also, pursuing theatre as a performer right now probably means you come from a place a financial privilege to begin with.

Broadway isn’t meant for everyone. It’s fine to clarify thoughts with “based on what I saw in this clip” or whatever tho

i live (unfortunately) in oklahoma and it would genuinely be cheaper for me to put a down payment on a house than go to new york for a few days ✌️😭

My issue is a certain someone being in the position to even put on the show in the first place given his history and the way he treats the dancers who’ve worked for him in the past

Classism is alive and well and there’s people who love demonizing folks who can’t afford things. Elitist aholes

I didn’t even stay overnight in the city and and I spent $240 in a day. That’s not even the price of the tickets to the show I saw.

It’s also almost like different medias for one show can be critiqued on their own, and they all have their own award systems for that reason

we spent hundreds of dollars on a DAY TRIP from Philly to NYC to see a show a couple of weeks ago. It's entirely inaccessible at this point.

Heavy on those hotel prices. It’s the only thing that has kept me from getting to the city to see the countless things I’ve wanted to see in the past couple years. You can find a cheap flight, the show ticket price I can justify, I lived there for 12 years so I know how to commute and eat out on a tight budget, but then add $1k on top of that for the hotel… oooop the trip no longer makes sense financially. 🙃

2 things can be true at once. New York theatre theatre can be the domain of the elite and it's also ridiculous to get involved in discourse over a show you haven't seen.
