This is very interesting to me. Considering how Broadway theatres get a tax credit from the city to lessen the taxes they have to pay to the city, I don’t know why they are making this push to give NJ residents this night, as NYC based audiences don't have this type of thing quite yet. I think its a great move to accessibility, however, similar to every other thing we have, people are going to protest it because they will say “oh well NJ residents get perks in NYC while not even NYC residents get that perk.” I do suspect this will definitely draw more audiences to the city, and it will support not only Broadway shows, but also the city with all the transportation costs, such as parking, tunnel fees, transit into the city if they don’t drive, subway, etc. It’s just going to be a matter of how much push back does this type of event get, and how can they try to make most people happy with these.
