New York Times: "“I don’t remember having to line up like this,” winter-whites huffed to no one in particular.
Neither do I, actually. My experience of Broadway theatergoing dates back only a couple of decades, but it does not include many memories of idling outside theaters in clean files, an experience that recalls waiting your turn to savor the excitements of an amusement park ride, or maybe a Hollywood blockbuster on opening weekend. Time was, the modest line for people picking up tickets was the only serious obstacle to entering a Broadway theater. If you had yours in hand, you simply cleaved the anxious melee waiting outside for latecomers and marched in. No queue in sight."
