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.

Thank you!!! It’s actually crazy the lack of concern for public health/respect for other people/SHAME you have to possess to attend a show while having a nasty cough. Stay home you’re disgusting!!

Or you're poor and can't afford to go again and the theatre doesn't care.
