Is Broadway a Live 2.0 Industry?
This video attempts to answer that question:
Slightly more seriously, I think Broadway COULD be a beacon of Live 2.0 success, but has been made too comfortable by indiscriminate tourist dollars and pandering endlessly to Baby Boomer Nostalgia.
It needs a sharper edge and a stronger sense of urgency about competing for its living. Now, Broadway’s sense of competition is internal: who’s getting the jobs, reviews and access to the houses. That’s good enough if you’re a monopoly with a success guarantee.
If 2008 taught us anything, I think it’s this: nobody has a success guarantee.
