the article doesn't really do it justice but it sounds less biographical and more of a commentary on the tech, hollywood, and healthcare institutions since it also focuses on diddy and sam fried's cases

Hmm. They're doin a capitalism again. No surprise there.
This is a 40 seat black box theater that costs $250 a night to run a show. Chill out.
It's for 5 performances on the calendar, tickets are $30. It's a 49 person theater
and some of those seats are sure to be friends and family comps. Venue costs between $200-$250 per performance.
It would be a miracle if they got $6k from tickets after venue fees. And that's not counting time, cost for props, transportation, etc.
This is small time artsy theater. Suggesting that it's a cash grab is a bit insulting to those involved.
I was more commenting on the commoditization of everything, more than shitting on theatre in general.
The guy is literally sitting in a jail cell, potentially innocent, and now there's additional narratives that are forcefully going to be credited toward him while he's trying to get a fair trial. That objectively sucks for him.
everyone knows you do off broadway theatre for the money.
There's a lot of shitty things about capitalism besides shitty wealth distribution.
yeah but off broadway/local theatre is probably the least capitalistic thing
Oh look, someone is doing a blind comment without reading the article again. No surprise there.
Because the theater of all mediums is known to be entirely run by greed from top to bottom? No passion for the arts. You rather they don’t get paid for their labor? What’s your angle here?
Sure is convenient that he's busy with that trial so we don't have to ask him for the right to use his likenes, and we don't need to consult him or the people when we tell his story in our words before history has a chance to fully realize the repercussions of such a historical event.

Looks like it's Taylor Street Theatre, a 49-seat venue.
Its an event that only happened like 2 months ago. People sat down, wrote an entire musical show, wrote all new songs, a story, the whole show. Then they held auditions, cast it, rehearsed it, got it ready for debut night. Then found a theater, rented it for the duration of its run, and apperently forgot to advertise it, becsuse the first time I even heard of it is AFTER the entire run of shows are all sold out.
And you're worried that the show is starting small???
And you're worried that the show is starting small???
I didn't say I was worried; the headline left a lot of wiggle room for interpretation, I was adding some detail.
According to the article it appears to be a reskinned Chicago. Not sure how much original story is really going to be in it
Small correction, it's an event that happened 5 months ago. The United healthcare CEO died December 4.
?? i totally missed this
Right? Me too! WTF!
This is truly uplifting!
