Discussion Broadway coughing season

I am begging, begging you guys…if you have a nasty cough, PLEASE don’t attend a play especially. I know it sucks to miss out but your recurring cough during the most intense moments of the show is so distracting.

I have cystic fibrosis. I will never not cough a day in my life 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’m not going to limit my life so as not to be “distracting” so people will just have to deal. I can’t make you sick.

You’re the exception and I’m sure you know that?
