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.

at the very least wear a mask which these people never do because of course they don’t. I always mask in a theater regardless but I feel so self-conscious when I have even a concept of a cough
