I proudly displayed my vax card and wore a mask to see Randy Rainbow at the Warner. Like, who cares?
Clearly you do since you're spouting about it on here. You and all the other old fogies.

Hamilton is overrated. People say they loved it because they would look like fools for spending that much money to see an average show at best.
You know its $99, right? Hardly a large sum of money. Its like the people complaining about Cirque du Soleil was too expensive.

Sorry, NO ONE in Europe is requiring masks.
If Broadway and DC still are, I wonder what's wrong with you fellas?
Europe is more vaxxed than the US, has socialized medicine, and theater owners are apparently ok with cancelling a show there if they have to and losing money.
The US has a significant population refusing to vaccinate, no free medical care, and theater owners are capitalists who need to make bank. There are very few support nets so everyone is on their own.
Hence, we have to do what we can so the show can go on.
Wrong, wrong and wrong.
It's funny really.

I agree, OP, and we won't go until the requirement is removed. Not relaxing at all.

Funny how everyone is coming home from Europe with covid. Or two weeks of “bronchitis”.
Yup, EVERYONE.
I love US science these days. Men get pregnant right?

Will really dampen the experience.

It’s a lot of money for some of us in the middle class. I can’t often spend $200 plus parking plus sitter on one night out with my spouse.
So watch it on Disney Plus. You won’t need a mask or a sitter. Or parking.
