The Clyde Fitch Report: A while ago, a copy of this poster started appearing on the Facebook pages of some of my friends – maybe you saw it as well. It was falsely attributed to Joseph McCarthy, then the font was changed and it was attributed to Queen Victoria. But in reality, its source wasn’t nearly so dramatic: the quotation appeared in an 1845 letter from the Belgian King Leopold II to Britain’s Queen Victoria and referred to her husband, Albert.

I do not think it is fair to use Broadway stats to make complaints about who is in the audience because capitalism. Unlike regional theater where this is a legitimate concern. Broadway is not government funded and their sole responsibility is to try and make their investors money. If they make the most money by targeting the top 5% earners of America then so be it. It is like video games they are expensive because the companies that own them can charge whatever price makes them the most money, it is their right. Any theater with government funding is a different story. You have a responsibility to the people paying for your theater and you should be targeting your material respectively
