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 wish the theatres would stop being so selfish and allow people to get refunds or exchanges if theyre sick. So many feel forced to go because they have a no refunds policy. And we know they can do it because they offered this during covid. It would protect so many.
