I like going to musicals but haven’t been for some time because the current offerings are so boring. It’s just the same shows being recycled. I feel like theatre has followed the same trend as pop movies, just reboots and reruns because they are safe. Original creativity is seen as too high risk. It’s a bit sad when the art has left the arts.

@SituationCake @Thornburywitch There's occasional pieces of new brilliance (Aussie musical Fangirls is phenomenal) but yeah, so many repeat runs of the same things at high ticket prices no less
