So basically they are trying to take our money by shaming or insulting us? Good luck with that.
It's working sooo well for Hollywood. 😉
Well, it's made them filthy rich demigods for 50 years.
It’s kind of like hitting somebody until they like you. Not gonna happen.
there are a lot of beta boys, and pink haired losers, that keep these horrific entries alive. also china.
"Come see our lecture... ummm... I mean PLAY!"
Broadway, Hollywood et al have turned their "entertainment" franchises into tedious sermons in wokeism. And NOBODY wants to sit through that, nevermind pay for it. Give me your money and let me browbeat you with accusatory rhetoric!
Give your audience something it doesn't want ... then insult them when they don't attend.
Solid plan.
big of greaterestics brainies
Bros. Lol
Tim the Enchanter. LOVE the name bro!! Probably the smallest part in Grail and one of the funniest!!!
Hey, now... It's like socialism - It probably just hasn't been done right as of yet(unless/until it gets it's own version of the Nuremberg trials and is shut down for good)
😄😄😄
Broadway was a niche thing to start with so they decided to thread the needle to target even less people? That deserves a standing face plam.
I really can't accuse democrats and libtards to be intelligent.
I always say, it's demographics. If you're going to appeal to a minority, you're going to get a minority profit
ok
I wouldn't say it was niche to start. Many old Hollywood movies are adaptations of Broadway shows. Many vintage pop and jazz songs were originally musical numbers. I do agree, though, that it's much more niche now then it was at its prime.
@@NickOleksiakMusic Exactly right.
Broadway writers and performers probably assume their audience is exactly like them. That's obviously not true.
Shows these days are not here to entertain but rather push an agenda, from movies, tv series, to Broadway shows.
As I recall somebody saying about _Bros_ a couple of months ago: 'This isn't for you, but it's your fault that it failed' is a hell of a take.
I'm gay. Definitely wasn't for me. It was so cringe and build on stereotypes I loath.
Lol - I remember that one. It was an astounding piece of entitlement to make something so nieche and then *demand* a massive mainstream audience.
If you complain about racism in New York or San Francisco, both city that have 80+% Democrat, you should talk to your local government.
I think maybe u should be so enveloped in politics that maybe u should pronounce everything in the world- blue/red
*change your local government
@@BIGHEADjr51 Politics is everything, especially when it comes to running a city or an area. That’s literally what it is. Not everything needs to be red vs blue but New York is in a terrible state and it’s very clearly overwhelmingly democrat.
America needs help, love a 🍁 Canadian
@@stickvortex reminder hun. The world sees your country as a joke 😂
If Phantom of the Opera can't last, then all the new shows are doomed.
You know something, there have been successful "trans" movies and Broadway shows in the past. Too Wong Fu, The Birdcage, and Hairspray come to mind. Maybe it's NOT about "trans" or "woke" but instead about quality story writing and acting.
Lots of entertainment has featured different races as well, especially black Americans. I grew up with Fat Albert, Sanford and Son, Good Times, etc. Those were super popular shows, and hardly anyone rejected them for racial reasons. Sure didn't show up in the ratings- they were good shows. And Norman Lear was even a lefty.
It's not the races and/or groups in the show... it's whether your show ditches entertainment and instead supplants it with tedious lectures in wokeism. If your goal is to browbeat the audience with sermons and guilt trips, the show is probably destined to fail. Nobody wants to sit through that, and they certainly aren't going to spend money for it.
Exactly. But writers and producers gave up on quality. They just want to throw out as many politically popular buzz words thinking that will get them an audience. They don't truly care about Trans, gay, people of color or women. If they did they would take time to create quality ORIGINAL productions instead of just taking the lazy way and just rewriting an existing character to fit whichever group they're trying to fawn over. One day these groups will see that Hollywood, Broadway or any of the elites, truly do not care. They only want your money.
Nope it's all just bigotry 🙄🥱
Yes, and its interesting to note these films were comedies; moreover, back in the day, there was a lot of self-mockery concerning and within the queer community. I won't denigrate LGB with a "T". Just leave gay folks the fuck alone. No, I am not gay! Anyhow, basically, gay writers and creators had a sense of humour back then, and fucking life experience. As a result of their trials they also gained literary competence, and could expand from their "niche," market occassionally. "Brokeback Mountain" is a beautiful story, and "Girl Interrupted," about the trans issue was also good. Both of these films, backed up with the good humour of the aforementioned gay comedy scene. Did a lot to encourage tolerance, at the very least. Unfortunately, there has been mass overreach on all levels. Small, niche, communities are now represented and expressed by horrific, incompetent, sheltered, wealthy, idiots predominate in all areas the point where folks are now more anti-trans than they've ever been. Clap, clap, clap, to them.
So you want me to stop acting like an outsider, and go to a show that's going to preach at me to make me feel like an outsider. HOW ABOUT NOOOOOOO!!!
💯💯
Exactly!!! Just for grins, are you related to the compost?
Amen
All those woke broadway shows closing are the latest examples of the term “get woke go broke”.
@UCdWdViLFHwyafxn-R6pRrhg go away Chinese spammer
My niece wanted to go to NYC for spring break. There is no way we were going to take her and our two daughters there. Not until they get things turned around. Like you said, we've seen too many videos of people getting attacked and no one doing anything to help. NYC, take note: people don't want to visit because your politicians are ruining your city.
True!
Ironic, they named the show ain't no mo. 😆🤣😂
I love how we have been winning against the woke by just ignoring them and not showing up to their crap lol easy win
This might be old school, but when I was a kid, I took a babysitting course and the lesson on dealing with temper tantrums was to ignore it.
Glad to see it still works.
@@Maninawig well no shit. Anything that survives on ticket sales won't survive if you don't show up.
Which is precisely why when people complain about remakes and reboots - that "Hollywood's out of ideas" - can't seem to realize that Hollywood banks on that formula because it's quite literally working. People show up for the existing-IP blockbusters but don't show up for the original smaller films, hence Hollywood no longer places its bets on the latter.
As always, vote with your dollar.
Yup need to ignore them and try not to be around them and their toxic behavior
Do you watch the daily wire and do you understand what ignore means… when the woke all go these guys will have no content they don’t want it to stop
The only way to win is not to play.
As a native New Yorker who loves my city I am APPALLED at how crime is being handled. It’s horrific and terrifying. New York has always been a rugged place but I’ve never once been scared daily to commute back and forth to my job. New York has been overly focusing on socially woke issues and disregarding the real issue of safety in the city. It’s absolutely insane
Edit: Yes I’m from the boroughs. No. I did NOT vote democrat. I voted republican. I did NOT want Hochul. I do not necessarily blame my fellow New Yorkers as they are deeply and utterly misinformed. If anything I feel sorry for them. Media and biased schooling has a massive grip on people and I just hope one day soon (most likely soon with the crime rising horrifically) they will wake up.
That's crazyness. Stay safe 🙏🏻 ❤️
All the woke entertainment doesn't help because people are so bored they may as well rob people
@@LKCLifer Nah, they sold their safety for fake virtue signaling 😂
@@LKCLifer Screw a New Yorkers safety, they don’t deserve safety
Change the way you vote, geeze it’s not rocket science, the establishment is lying to you.
Hamilton had an almost full POC cast (still does) and it’s one of the biggest hits of all time and still thriving. Simply write good shows
Exactly the race is just an excuse. The shows obviously didn’t do good enough and lost money. So instead of admitting that their production wasn’t that impressive they are gonna blame racism and other stupidity cause they don’t want to admit that they made a mediocre production. After all if they were doing so good they wouldn’t be shutting down this early like K pop had 17 shows before their last one 2 weeks ago.
I was looking in the comments for this as I thought Hamilton and Wkd were mostly POC but wasn't sure. Thank you
It’s almost as if people want shows with actually good writing haha.
Brett is the best person to make a video on this. Super insightful with lots of solid facts. Love this!
abstain with your wallet. same goes for voting. leave the leftist hovel you live in, and vote with your feet to a place where your vote counts.
Went to NYC in October for fall break with my parents. The amount of new, woke shows that opened and then closed very quickly was astounding. My sister is really into the theater circle, and despite being more progressive than me or my parents, even she agrees that the show “A Strange Loop” only won because it featured a gay, black man.
Appreciate the info from England 🏴👍
A gay black man? Only? Well, in my books, that's teetering on the line of being far right.
If it were up to me, it would be a gay, black, TRANS woman thats neurodivergent and a Muslim.
No idea what the show is actually about, doesn't really matter, its all about representation. That's what people want to see. No one cares about stories.... imagine that same trans woman talking about their oppression for 3 hours and you get the chance to give them extra money at the end of the show!
Next level pandering

As part of my sons field trip back East, New York was the highlight of our trip which included tickets to the Broadway show, Phantom of the Opera. I loved New York. The diversity, culture and ambiance was incredible. I even got to see the original Aston- Martin car used in the film Goldfinger on display in front of the Hard Rock Cafe. Took pictures of it and talked briefly with the man in charge of the display. Rode to the top of the World Trade Center. That was back in the 90's. I wouldn't go there now if you paid me.
I really respect how Brett handled this topic. It would have been easy to solely blame those shows failing on the fact that they’re woke. Instead she chose to look at the broader picture and provide some context to what’s going on with broadway as a whole. And at the same time, she was still able to make the same point about wokeness. Well done!
Watched some of the 25 year anniversary show for Beauty and the Beast and literally Belle was Black, Gaston was black with dreads, 60-70% of the cast was black.
Like come on. Lmfao. Belle is set in 1700s France.
Oh my star! Thank you for mentioning that dreadful 25th anniversary of Beauty and the Beast! I couldn’t agree more! I happened to be free right around that time, so naive!I thought: Oh, some nostalgia Beauty and the Beast is good!
I eagerly waited… then came Belle, a black!Belle 🙄. Why did I think Disney do honor any original right now? Yes, Gaston is black, one or two or three of the sideline girls are black too.
I would like some respect for the original cast in the animation! If anyone changes Martin Luther King Jr to a white man, an Asian man, I’d be angry! Show some respect! I turned TV off right when Belle walked to the theater with people held banner out. Done.
I'm honestly surprised the woke crowd isn't mad that Gaston, the villain, was Black.
@@lavendercrewe1236 Even without the race swaps, it was a complete dumpster fire.
So it was more of a goofy and the beasties
I don't watch musical plays with a fixation on reality, but for the vocal talent and the scores. If a play should reflect reality then Belle should be played by an actual French woman, not just any white woman. I 've seen two Broadway plays in NYC and whatever race was playing the characters made no difference because the production was so amazing. Anyways, it's nothing to be too annoyed about as this is a trend. Within a few years there will be new ways for leftists to virtue signal and for right wing people to whine about instead of caring about things that matter.
The shaming, victimhood, and attempts at guilt are how many maintain their sense of pride. When their pride is caused their problems in the first place.
I was forced to drive through new york city twice to get boston for my sons heart surgery and I am sorry, it is filthy...bottles laying everywhere, food wrappers, pee in jugs just laying on the sides of the roads, car parts from wrecks.... Coming from tennessee...it just amazed me at how disgusting it was, all while they tax the hell out of you to "clean up the city"
It's almost like you can only tell people so many times "it's not made for you" or "if you don't like it don't watch /read / buy it" before they take you up on it.
Like that "Bros" movie, where the creator took the "not for you hetero rednecks" approach -- until no one bought tickets, and then he started begging those same hetero rednecks to come see the movie. Which of course did not happen.

I’m so happy someone is finally talking about this in conservative media! I am a huge Broadway fan and it honestly hurts me to see how the industry has fallen and no one talks about it. I know as conservatives we like to scoff and make fun of the arts, but they are so important to expanding our minds and making us think. Watching them be reduced to preachy and eye roll inducing dumpster fires is just disheartening. Not everything on Broadway is bad, there’s lots of new Stephen Sondheim musicals and new musicals that look promising coming out. But they need to wake up to how alienating and out of touch they are to their fans and audiences.
I went to college for acting and currently work in tv. Brett and Ben Shapiro are really the only conservative commentators that I know of who came from entertainment. I love having people from the buisness or who have family in the business talk about it from a conservative point of view. I need a future where conservative voices are welcome on Broadway and in Hollywood! It sounds insane to say that now, which is sad... I hope that changes!
@@Keychain696 Same here, that doesn’t mean I want everything to be suddenly super conservative. I want all voices to be represented not just conservative. Much of the best art and theater is pretty liberal and left leaning, but it has just gone to far. They have become so ideological in casting and story telling that it’s killing the interest. Rather than entertain you or make you think differently like shows such as Into the Woods, Show Boat, Passion, Next to Normal, etc. You get shows like A Strange Loop, the Company revival, and 1776 revival that add nothing to their stories or make you think differently about a topic. Rather they shove down your throats how you should think about something, thinking that just changing the race/gender of characters is enough to make the story or message more impactful or moving.
Conservatives scoff at the *entertainment* industry generally (because so much of it is either politicised propaganda or lowest-common-denominator stuff that insults our intelligence), but we don’t scoff at the arts. We value the arts and want to preserve them. That’s why we object to the woke stuff, because it’s trying to destroy the arts.
No one talks about it because outsiders don;t DARE come to New York anymore! I love Broadway but I haven;t been to a show since Kiss Me Kate in 2019.NY just isn;t safe anymore!
Regarding the closing of The Music Man, I would just point out that this particular revival was always a limited run, which was actually extended past its original planned closing date due to strong numbers. I haven't seen their sales figures, but that show was never intended to be an open-ended run. With K-pop, I did quick Wikipedia read of the plot...and it seems almost too meta for its own good. Might have fared better if it was a musical featuring K-pop music rather than a K-pop musical that's about...making K-pop music. Granted, none of that matters if tourists aren't coming to see shows.
Agreed loved music man!
Good to hear sensible comment, so rare these days. Well done.
I’m a theater actor in Cleveland, and the theater has always been left leaning, and welcoming to gays and other bohemian types, but probably 10 years ago it got very political and hostile to anyone who wasn’t actively woke.
Can confirm. My sister was essentially driven out of the theater company she founded for not being woke enough.
As a former theater actor, I used to love it. The stage was home when I had nothing. It really hurt to lose that home, and some good friends. Clifton Duncan is a great person to listen to about this. Ironically it seems like there’s no bravery in the arts anymore. It all seems rotten with subpar talent, relying on cheap political messages to push awful shows.
@@burgertime434 I've spent a lot of time thinking about this over the years and I think the rot set in when theaters became "non-profits" It became more about pleasing donors than audiences, and it set up this unhealthy dynamic where the "managing artistic director" was god because he brought in the money and all the actors and crew were just completely disposable.
isn't that the best thing for the theater company? eliminate any person who isnt the monolith of sodomy, and expect the turnstiles to tick at the same level as before. ironic how the de&i crowd, despises diversity, if it isn't exactly what they want.
The now notorious trend of blaming everyone else for a show's failure, especially by calling them some type of 'ist' or 'phobic' person, is detrimental to our future culture. There can be several varying factors as to why a show fails, or it could come down to one or two poor decisions on the part of the creators but examining and recognizing the actual truth of these failures seems beyond the scope of those complaining. Most find it too easy to just point fingers.
Blaming everyone else is their only option so they don't have to take any accountability.
Agreed that "there can be several varying factors as to why a show fails...", but there's plenty of people in this comment section claiming these shows failed for one reason and one reason only.
The failure is the combination of guilt tripping and lazy writing/direction that comes from being woke for woke sake, yet some get irate the second they see a lick of woke casting and never give it the time of day regardless. There's a fair number of pre-MeToo "woke" films and shows [before woke was even a term] that did just fine...all because they weren't forced, neither in execution nor marketing. That said, in that same vain, some of those very films from a couple decades+ ago that did just fine would be raked through the coals today by comment sections like these before they even get released.
We're in a political atmosphere of one side embracing something just because it checks certain boxes, regardless of how bad it is, versus another side fighting against it just because it checks certain boxes, without even watching to know whether it's any good.
You are right Brett!!!
Wow! Even on broadway they still tell that lie? I thought it was just in films. 😕
I have relatives that worked on Broadway and they ended up moving to a state that didn't completely shutdown and had some off Broadway shows. They never went back to NY as they are being treated better in their new location.

Last Christmas I took my kids to see A Christmas Carol at The Alliance Theater in Atlanta. I noticed in the program how many of the actors were originally from New York. Same with film actors. Many relocated to Georgia because we reopened in June of 2020. One actor I met told me his family was running out of money because California was still shutdown, so they packed up and headed for Georgia. Covid may kill you, that's true, but as our Governor said, poverty is deadlier. Inflation has touched us too, but our state's economy is doing much better than most, and people flocking here. Our homeschool group had a record number of new families, and all of them has relocated from New York and California.
Yup… I’m also a New Yorker and a theatre kid. I’m literally going broke from spending so much money on ubers. It’s so scary and exhausting being constantly harassed in the damn trains 😪
If I were you I would move anywhere else, it's so much nicer here in Ohio. Pennsylvania is nice too. Anywhere out of the city would be a good start.
That’s scary my petite 23 yr old is in Brooklyn & travels into the city every day. 🙏
@@plaidpaisley5918 If I were you I would have her move literally anywhere outside of a major city. Cities in general have worse crime statistics than any rural areas. New York has some of the worst statistics made even worse by the fact you really have no way to defend yourself.
Yeah the city sucks the people aren’t pleasant, there’s not enough space, like what’s there to like about it?
They’ve gone to worse than pre Giuliani and that is saying something
Wow! Gut punching truth from an intellgent and very articulate young lady! Kudos for your courage to tell it like it is. 👍
My mother was attacked 2 times within a 7 month span in midtown Manhattan before we moved to Florida almost 6 months ago. This is what they voted for. No one wants to bring their family to a play and make it a Bat Man story.

Loving how they started with ”shame on you” and ended the same response with “don’t go to the show out of shame or guilt”…
Never thought I’d be shamed for my personal opinions. Like, I’m extremely sorry that I don’t wanna see a show about racism.🙄
I’m a life-long NYer. Grew up in Queens, hung out in BK & Manhattan, work out on Long Island (pronounced “Lawn-Guy-lind”) and currently live in New Rochelle (aka right above the BX). I NEEEEVVVEERRR felt scared in my city because I’ve seen and experienced allot and very early on. I’ve gotten jumped, robbed, harassed and much more by like… 16 years old haha. So nothing phases my anymore. However… I was visiting my cousin in BK a month ago and walking down Linden I heard POP POP POP and saw a car speed away, someone jump out and start walking nonchalantly towards me with his hoodie up. I froze in my steps and for the first time in like 2 decades, I was genuinely afraid for my life. Luckily I was able to put on my usual “don’t look, pretend not to give AF” NY attitude and he went right passed me. It’s all about appearances in this city but lately it’s been harder to ignore and feel obliviously safe from violence out here. And dont GET me started about the BX. It’s a legit war zone right by my favorite pizzeria and I can’t do sh** about it but hope I don’t get caught up in something insanely serious… 😓😓
....ppl are getting tired of the freak show being thrown in our face
People are tired of having to be guilt trip. Like they act like victims and then they become an asshole when we don’t want their temper tantrums
Also worth noting that "The Phantom of the Opera" decided to blackwash Christine, who is A SWEDISH GIRL, who, in Leroux's book, is described as a blonde haired, blue eyed girl. It was already bad that Andrew Lloyd Webber made her a brunette just because his then wife Sarah Brightman is a brunette.
Phantom got woke, it went broke.
As for the other shows, most woke shows on Broadway have been failing for years. The pandemic just came to try to make that VERY clear. The self-righteous hypocrites on Broadway STILL didn't understood the message.
I not only have no wish to go visit New York... Let alone see ANY show on Broadway.
I have no issue with a black Christine, because there are simply so many excellent singers out there who happen to be black. As long as they don't herald it as some virtue-signaling act, I genuinely don't care.
@@calebleach7988 Agreed.
@@calebleach7988 yeah, there are. So let's get them original characters instead, rather than the sloppy seconds of white characters.
A black Christine makes as much sence as The Colour Purple being done by an entirely white cast.
Same with Anastasia. The movie (and play) is based on the survival of the Russian princess, Anastasia Nikolaevna Romanova. In the movie, she was a blue eyed redhead. In the play, she was a blue eyed blonde.
It's like Broadway is Dead
Couldnt they stream the shows? Idk would that help since ticket sales are related to tourism and not a lot of travel is happening at the moment? Mostly sad that fantastic shows like phantom of the opera are closing but then I’m no huge into musicals
I used to love visiting NYC. It kills me to see it turn into such a cesspool.
It's the same stuff I see in all facets of American art: "I DESPISE my audience. I HATE you. Now CONSUME MY CONTENT!!!"
😂😂😂
It's finally nice to find somebody that is both looking at situations from both views and applying to what would happen in real life in those situations
New York was always on my bucket list, but not anymore. I have no desire to go anywhere in which I have to worry about crime, see a bunch of people doing drugs on the streets, or walk among all the filth.
It sounds like New York is turning into Gotham without Batman
When you tell someone they are entitled to one thing, they will proceed to assume they are entitled to everything. Then, when they are not given whatever they want, the only possible reason is that someone hates them or is directly acting against them. If they believe they are entitled to everything, they can not comprehend the possibility that they can simply fail. Everything that goes wrong must be an intentional and targeted attack against them perpetrated by people who want to make them specificity fail. If you believe your success is guaranteed, you can not take responsibility for your failures.
as a Kpop fan, I was watching as the Kpop broadway had meltdowns in real time, pushing the woke victim narrative, and feeling disgusted. They were angry at some critic for not giving a good review. I was relieved to see some reasonable responses, given that the Kpop fandom can be pretty leftist and irrational. There is hope. I feel bad for the artists, but also don't, because they brought the negative attention to themselves by being so entitled
I somehow missed it. Even as a K-pop fan. The show would interest me but I don't have the money to travel or buy a ticket. Guess my white privilege isn't working.
K-pop sucks
Exactly dude. It's like, there's not even a market for that kind of thing here. The market is for the groups themselves honestly. Anyways, what groups do you stan?
@@malivolusj3110 Don't know if you're talking about the show or the music here. If it's the show, I can't say since I haven't seen/heard it. If it's the music industry, I'm not so fragile to fall apart at someone saying they don't like the things I do. You have your tastes, the original commenter and I have ours. Let's not be immature.
I used to love kpop back in 2010s but lost interest the last 5 years or so. Any recommendations? I'd love to start listening again to newer artists.
I'm surprised another cited reason isn't just that people don't really go to the theater anymore. I love the movies, for example, but I don't go to the movies nearly as much as I used to. COVID, streaming, money, less interesting products being offered, video games... it's all been a factor. In my mind, if I'm not even going to the movies, what chance do plays have?
Why is that lady yelling at a person in the audience for not wearing a face mask, when the lady herself is clearly not wearing a mask?
NYC is pretty scary right now. I have lived here for 50 years, I have not been this concerned since the 1970's.
Same here. 54 year old native. The crimes feel similar to the 70’s and 80’s, but the sense of lawlessness, grievance, and entitlement feel completely new. More explosive.
I stay only to take care of my family. But once they pass (assuming I don’t die first), I will move out of the city.
Its almost like people don’t like being lectured to when they want to escape. They are just shooting themselves in the foot with the shaming tactics. What happened to marvel comics will happen to theatre
Them calling people racist for not going to watch a performance.
That's a bold strategy cotton! Let's see if it pays off
As Lilly Tomlin says: They don’t call it Show Art…
it’s a shame. I saw the Music Man with Hugh Jackman yesterday and it’s honestly an incredible show. Truly a once an a lifetime experience.

Seeing Brett nerd out over the things that I adore, I knew there was a reason I subscribed to this channel.
@@demi8890 OR... hear me out here... you completely misread my comment. All I said was I remembered why I subscribed to this channel, because I like her personality. I would post the same comment on another channel if they were nerding out over musical stuff, because it's something I love.
As for the rest of your comment, have you ever heard of a strawman? Because that is exactly what you have created.
First, you assume I'm 1. Straight (I am) and 2. Not in a relationship (I am not currently.) However, I'm not in a relationship because I'm not *looking* for one. Also, I'm Christian and I don't believe in sex before marriage, so even if I was in a relationship, I wouldn't be getting "attention."
Second, you assume that I am conservative. I am not. I am a right leaning centrist.
Third, you call me an incel, when you know absolutely nothing about me other than the fact I like musicals and am subscribed to The Comment Section, but I digress. Contrary to what you believe, not every man who is right of center is Andrew Tate.
Anyways heres the definition of Incel.

Apparently you assume that I'm some asshole who thinks women belong in the kitchen and are inferior to men. I'm not an idiot, anyone who believes these things has an extremely outdated and flat out wrong view of life. I'm well aware that men and women are equal in most things, I know for a fact that some of my female friends could beat my ass in a fight if they wanted to.
When I choose to start dating, I would look for a woman who holds herself to standards. A person with dignity and self respect. A relationship is a give-and-take. As a man, it is my job to provide for my partner, and I would expect my partner to provide for me. These provisions look different between relationships. If I were to marry, maybe my wife would be the money-maker, maybe not. I just don't know yet. Ultimately my point is that men and women are equal, but not the same.
Fourth, you assume that all women are liberal. Clearly that isn't the case, after all, look at the channel we're on.
Fifth, you assume that woman don't like conservative men. However, there are a large amount of surveys and studies that say otherwise.
Sixth, you assume that I jack off to Brett. I do not, and anyone who does is probably a terrible person. I will admit that yes, Brett is a pretty woman, but I personally am not necessarily *attracted* to her.
I am a man who, while confident in my beliefs, is willing to listen to others. So, if you would like to respectfully converse with me, be my guest. But if you're just going to insult me, go fuck yourself.
@@demi8890 you’re a fucking idiot. get a job.
@@calebleach7988 oh nice
I literally watch Brett as my news, no stupid guilt tripping or over concentration on murders shootings and elitist crap, good shit
"Aint No Mo" saved so much money when it closed because they didn't even have to post Show Cancelled Signs!! The name of the production itself served dual purposes!! Now THAT'S good budgeting!!
When they guilt trip their audience to show up: “Why is no one having a good time? I specifically requested it.”
😆🤣
Hahahaha!!!

As someone who has performed in (amateur) musicals for years, I can tell you ticket sales are hard: regardless of what your show is about. People come to see art, not politics
I just came across this channel, Brett is smart, beautiful and makes all the sense we all have, yeah this girl ROCKS!
This woman is the model for how to do an ad transition.
"An artist asks for your attention for the amount of time their art is in front of you."
Artists may **ask** for my attention. They do not **command** my attention. Those are two entirely different things.
For $50 dollars I can take both my kid and wife to see a movie with my military discount and still get popcorn and a drink.
I'm from the UK and New York was on mine and my wifes bucket list. Now I wouldn't go if it was free
As someone else said: "this isn't for you but it's your fault it failed" is the mantra that carries the day in show biz today.
If they are being cancelled than you _know_ society is doing something right for once
Musicals pushing agendas are fine, but they need to be backed by a solid plot and actually decent songs. Just look at La Cage Aux Folles and Falsettos - now those are "woke" (for its time) musicals done right! Some of the newer musicals purely pander - it's a wonder they even got on Broadway. I hate to say it but Andrew Lloyd Webber's new "Bad Cinderella" musical seems to be in the same category.
…go back even further….South Pacific demonstrated that hate was taught, not inherent….Flower Drum Song was about Asians, wasn’t it? But the difference is both these shows had great music and wonderful story lines….
@@kaddyd1815 Miss Saigon was a great show with a 80% Asian and international cast
@@tylerj7298 …and that was a good show too! I saw it in Philadelphia in 1995…
i’m a theatre kid too! i don’t know if i plan pursuing acting in the future, but as of right now, i’ve been a part of 21 musical theatre shows in a childrens performing arts, with me playing Ariel in the little mermaid. i’m pretty passionate about theatre, so it’s a shame to see it fall down like this.
I went to NY in October and saw 3 shows of my choice and I am mixed race. I watched the shows according to my preferences not based on race.
Ask if the directors and actors would keep performing if they weren't paid.
It's nice to here good news when I come home from work!
Wow, they really came off as sounding pathetic
I've always wanted to experience a Broadway production, literally any of them sound great, but I refuse to go to New York. It sounds like a filthy, trashy place, and I won't spend inordinate amounts of money to experience that first-hand.
Not even the K-pop artists themselves would probably wouldn't want to go see a musical about k-pop
True. A musical about kpop honestly sounds boring. The soundtrack might hit.
People are like “look at this musical about Kpop” and all I can think is, “why would I want to go see that when I would rather spend my money to to an Ateez concert and probably have a way better time 😐”
@@elizabethlevesque6978 Exactly. Like, KCON exists. Why would I go see a musical?
@@amyawashington2849 the way Kpop exists it can be like it’s own theatrical show. The best concerts I’ve been to have been set up almost like a show, or at least having theatrical elements to them so. One of my favorite bands, For King & Country has some really cool staging and lighting that makes it feel more than just a concert for me.
I’ve never been to an Ateez concert but I’ve watched enough clips of songs. Kpop concerts are their own shows, so yeah why would I waste my money on a show about it when I’d much rather go to a concert.
And yes icon is basically its own show lol.
It really is ALWAYS a stronger crowd for the classics. Newer musicals are hard to get into because it's all about seeing those "classics" and they're amazing. KPOP musical just sounds like some younger writer wanted to be hip with the teens and tried to make a musical popular with teens (not saying thats the only reason but it's definitely one of them). No. Even teens are going to see older musicals because those are the ones with just such meaning behind them for everyone. A strong story is one that is relatable to many people, not just one group of people.
Reminds me of when that movie Bros came out. Billy Eichner claimed the movie failed because people are homophobic. No. It failed because you released a romantic comedy in October, the month where everyone wants to watch a spooky movie, and also Avatar, the highest grossing movie of all time, was rereleased in theaters to hype up it’s sequel.
Oh god that horrible bros movie. His temper tantrum was more entertaining then the movie itself. As someone who is gay, I’m proud to be a homophobic bigot(base on billy Eichner words) and not watch that boring movie which many lgbtq didn’t watch it either
Yes people are getting exhausted about it give it a f rest already!
People forget it's called show business for a reason.
Showbiz is a business, and a basic rule of business is - if it doesn't make dollars, it doesn't make sense.
My Mom and I went to see POTO in October and visited a Starbucks across the street from Moynihan Train Hall and witnessed a…person…burst in, call the barista a c**t and n****a, knock down the recycle bin, and then spit on the door. At that moment, I realized I really had no desire to ever visit NYC again.
Only visited NYC one time, but the thing I remember most is the smell of garbage.
*It’s Closing Time!…*
how do you claim that there aren't enough ticket sales to support a show and immediately say people are showing up and loving the show?
Well I have one thing to thank COVID for, staying at home on my farm has taught me I really don't like any aspect of cities. I much prefer the buzz of my honey bees to the cacophony of the city. While the local theater companies aren't Broadway, they are inexpensive, uncrowded and provide a much more intimate experience being up close to the actors.
And they are often as well-produced and full of talent as fancy Broadway shows
Nice. Been to the theatre twice this month... just glad I live in London. Good luck with it y'all.
And I really wanted to visit New York😢 my dreams are crushed😔
All evil will be purged eventually.
I used to go to a play, a ballet, an opera as well as art and film festivals every year until the pandemic. I haven't returned since we've re-opened because of the cost of living. Hardly anyone can justify dropping $500 for a few hours of entertainment anymore. The travel, accommodation, ticket and food costs are just unjustifiable in this climate.

I live in NYC & I saw KPOP. It ran about two months & absolutely loved it. Tickets started at $60 & rush tickets were available for $35. The show I went to the audience was very receptive so that’s a shame it closed but I’m glad I saw it when it was running. Broadway is just expensive though. I enter a lot of lotteries to try & see shows.
As a wise man once said "everything woke turns to 💩"
I went to see Beetlejuice a few weeks ago, and I loved it. I knew it was something special after hearing “I know you’re woke but take a joke.” The Book of Mormon is still going as well, and I can almost guarantee that that’s the least woke show of all time. So there’s still hope, just a very small amount
Book of Mormon was hilarious
1:10 so THATS why you can project your voice louder than my dog! Good on ya. I gotta turn my volume down to like 40% when you're on. My phone speaker can only get so loud so its convenient
I saw an article saying that theatre memberships have collapsed everywhere and all it takes for many is a collapse like we are seeing to shut down theaters entirely.
Them: You'll enjoy it.
Also Them: Shame on you.
It’s funny how some of them go. Don’t like it don’t watch or it’s not for you. Show fails “ “ how dare you not watch my stuff after I insulted you and berated you” I’m a privileged victim (cause you know their broadway) you have to like myself or else your racist homophobic or whatever trendy insult is on twittr
Couldn’t give a toss about how diverse actors are. They just have to be cast because they’re the best people that turned up to audition for the roles.
Amen
I think we have a new original woke show here at the Wynn in Las Vegas. It’s called “awakening” no lie
They spew hate to the same people they want to buy their goods. Not very smart.
I used to love going to Broadway shows, but now they make it about the race and current situations instead of the actual show.
You must be wealthy or spoiled
@@millsrickman7703 I'm actually studying law at NYU and I'm in quite a bit of student debt. I only saw them every now and then when I had the money.
