I am a huge TEDx fan and have watched many of their talks placed on YouTube. I have ranged in what they discuss on those talks but have never heard of TEDx Broadway till now. The article intrigued me because it was a ted talk and it was Broadway related just from the title. However, the topic they plan on discussing sounds interesting. It is very open ended and can range in a lot of responses. It seems as though one could respond by critiquing it, evaluating it, and setting an ideal for it to achieve along with many other ideas. The people they have speaking about it this coming year is a fairly broad range of people and will allow for multiple perspectives. I think this is wonderful because I’m sure people will point out things that I and others probably never thought about just based on knowledge acquired from the other speakers. There is a lot of direction this conversation can go and I am very interested and excited to see it because of that.
