Three Broadway Musicals Closed Last Week. What Happened?
www.forbes.com: Closing a show on Broadway is always painful - on the heart and on the wallet. Each one is essentially a multi-million dollar startup venture, with high risks and the potential for high rewards, driven by passion.
This week was particularly rough, as a trio of musicals - 1/10th of the entire Broadway market - took their final bows. Each was quite different from the next: one was a traditional revival, one had the backing of a multi-billion dollar corporation, and one began life as a series of improvised workshops in New Jersey.What to think about before being honest
www.fastcompany.com: Giving someone negative feedback, even when it’s requested, can be uncomfortable.

www.fastcompany.com: Simple decisions are best made using cold, hard logic. This way, we can work through the incremental steps that lead to an answer. But the same isn’t true for complex decisions, ones that require more creativity in meshing together a web of interconnected ideas. These decisions can be impossible to work through with logic and reason alone. That’s why we need to tap into the proven power of our subconscious mind.Ticketmaster Accused of Colluding With Scalpers
Variety: Ticketmaster is essentially accused of colluding with scalpers — and collecting double fees in the process — in a bruising weeks-long investigation published by CBC and the Toronto Star Tuesday and today. The outlets sent two undercover reporters to a live-entertainment conference in July, where representatives for Ticketmaster pitched them on TradeDesk, the company’s invite-only proprietary platform for reselling tickets.Ancient 'paint factory' unearthed
BBC News: The kits used by humans 100,000 years ago to make paint have been found at the famous archaeological site of Blombos Cave in South Africa.
The hoard includes red and yellow pigments, shell containers, and the grinding cobbles and bone spatulas to work up a paste - everything an ancient artist might need in their workshop.
