RIP Kennedy Center

Is the airport next?

It will be remedied in three years, nbd. Plenty of other venues to frequent until then.

There's a rumor he wants to erect a monument ti himself on the Mall. They'll have to patrol it constantly or that thing will be an expensive public toilet.

I had been in the camp of I would possibly continue to attend some events to support the artists and remaining staff. I hadn't bought any tickets but hadn't mentally ruled it out.

This is the nail in the coffin though. I'm not going.

I do wonder what will become of it. It's awful. Ticket sales are already in the crapper and this will make it worse.

Yes they can't get any decent shows in there. I feel very sorry for the Opera and Symphony, I know it's not their fault, but just, no way.

They are getting first The Outsiders national tour. Which I would like to see. But not going.

The symphony performers, I don't know what happens to them. Playing at Wolf Trap is not going to keep them afloat. I think their only hope is big R donors subsidize the whole operation and keep them going playing to low attendance. But is it even their priority to keep the symphony? If it's a total loss for them maybe they all just get fired.

The National Theatre has SO many better touring broadway shows. Shame on Outsiders for booking TKC. Their loss.[/quote

100%. Everything else followed Hamilton's leave and avoided TKC. The National got every other straight-from-Broadway 1st run national tour this year (Suffs, Stereophonic, Water for Elephants, Some Like it Hot, Great Gatsby, Harry Potter). I'd like to say I held it against The Outsiders producers, but I didn't. I was dying to see it, so those were the Broadway tickets I got when I was in NYC. It was great -- and I'm glad I saw the fight scene on Broadway; the travelling version won't be able to do it justice.

Who cares? The next Dem president can rename it.

Doesn’t he realize it will change back once he’s gone?

They couldn't even wait until he was dead.

That's because he knows damn well that no one is naming anything after him after he dies. This is his only chance.

The next Dem President better change it back on day one. If it even survives.

Buses are vehicles. Busses are kisses.

It is not a nightmare! Things are great in America at the moment, thanks to President Trump.
