I think it’s so great that big shows like Hell’s Kitchen are donating money to important causes. Even though Broadway and theater around the country is struggling right now, some shows are doing better than others so it’s really great to see the ones that are doing better are putting some of their profits towards great causes. While yes, much of this is probably done for performative reasons, it’s still an amazing thing that they are doing. It’s also good that they are announcing this donation in such a public way and calling on others to donate as well. The awareness that they are raising for these non-profits reaches a huge audience of mostly tourists and others who are willing to donate money themselves. I hope that Hell’s Kitchen continues to do well on Broadway and that their partnership with these organizations is able to continue and do even more good for the world.
