OHMYGOD HEY!

A conversation has been taking place recently on social media about the stamina and fortitude of Broadway performers in 2026 vs their golden age counterparts.

Today, I'm asking what's changed about Broadway and the world surrounding it in the last century that has prompted this shift.

Additionally, I'm sharing my thoughts on why theatre actors perhaps shouldn't be performing 8 shows each week, and how this could even be better for Broadway's box office in the long run...
