NFTRW Weekly Top Five

Here are the top five comment generating posts of the past week:

Theater Tickets Are Cheaper in London Than New York. What Gives?

The New York Times: The hottest celebrity on the London stage is a four-foot-tall bear with a fondness for marmalade. Tickets to “Paddington: The Musical” are hard to come by — the show is consistently sold out — and costly, by British standards: The best seats, when bought directly from the show itself, are 250 pounds, which is about $330.

You Can Now Explore Over 100 Objects From the Met in 3D

mymodernmet.com: As part of its Open Access initiative, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York has published more than 100 high-definition 3D scans of art historical objects. These models have been carefully curated from the museum’s collection, which encompasses some 1.5 million works across media such as sculpture, painting, textiles, jewelry, calligraphy, and more.

Traits that make a fab shop employee stand out

www.thefabricator.com: What makes a good shop employee? That’s a question that sounds simple on the surface, but if you’ve spent any amount of time in a fabrication shop, you know there’s a lot more to it than just showing up and punching a clock. Every shop may have its own flavor, with different equipment, products, and expectations, but for the most part, we’re all looking for the same core qualities in an employee. You can teach someone how to run a machine, but it’s a lot harder to teach them how to care.

In Conversation With Hanna Puley, The Costume Designer Behind 'Heated Rivalry'

elle.in/fashion: If you haven’t stumbled upon the HeatedRivalry frenzy over the past few months, you must be living under a rock, or, at the very least, offline. Ever since the series first aired earlier last year, it has spiralled into a full-blown obsession. And now, with the show officially streaming in India on Lionsgate Play, a whole new audience is catching up, and catching feelings.

Broadway Meets Wall Street As One Show Finances Another

www.forbes.com: Broadway has become more like Wall Street. Similar to how Ford Motor Company invested in Rivian Automotive, the upcoming musical Chimney Town has invested in the Broadway musical Cats: The Jellicle Ball. As a co-producer of the Broadway show, the future show is billed alongside other producers above the title and a few sentences about it are printed in the programs distributed at each performance.
