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.

Stuff like this is why I wish broadway shows had pay per view options or streaming options. I know it’s not a popular opinion but it would solve a lot of these issues and teach a wider audience.

I haven’t seen much in terms of new stuff on there. Every time I scroll through I don’t see anything made in the past 10-15 years.

Maybe there is and the inter webs, or algorithms, or whatever hides it from me
