We in the theater world acknowledge that tickets to Broadway shows have become far too expensive. Thanks in part to A-listers pursuing the coveted T in their EGOT, producers have been able to price-gouge to new extremes, making theater inaccessible to most audiences. If you’re unwilling to shell out four figures to watch a movie star stumble through Shakespeare dialogue from the rear balcony, you’re fresh out of luck. That being said, we remain committed to looking like we care about our shows being accessible to all, which is why we’re proud to introduce several new affordable ticket options—for even our most penniless of patrons.

RUSH TICKETS
You like standing out in the cold? Well, have we got good news for you. If you arrive at the theater long before our box office staff does and wait in line outside, you might be able to snag some discounted rush tickets. How many are available? We’ll never tell.

Bought a T-shirt with Sylvia Rivera’s face

Spent $50 to hear heterosexuals sing at Pride

Walked quickly past the unhoused

Clutching my Telfar leaving my Tesla

I’m not a capitalist just look at this mustache

Touch on these muscles while I read Judith Butler

I tell you Pride was a riot started in New York in 1969

Even though PRIDE was a collective in Los Angeles that

Protested police brutality outside the Black Cat Tavern in 1967

Too many people are worried about their irrelevance

I’m just worried about how my ass looks on Insta

I mean ending poverty and prisons at my nonprofit

Today I feel more like a brand than a person

Sometimes I wish Marsha P Johnson could spit on these gays

Then I wonder if she would spit on me too

Sometimes I want her spit on me to go viral

But not like that

“Last year, two mercurial billionaires formed a partnership and vowed to drive the country in a new direction. Donald Trump had the political power. Elon Musk had the money and social media might. But on Thursday, their union dissolved in remarkably public and rapid fashion, with the two men attacking each other over matters both significant and petty.”New York Times

If you’ve kept up with the Middle-earth media in the last few days, you’ve likely heard about the feud between me, Saruman the White, and the Dark Lord Sauron. You may have heard that Sauron rescinded my generous offer to supply Mordor with Uruk-hai reinforcements in exchange for $auronCoin. And that, in retaliation, I brought up his longstanding ties to Melkor and his dark deeds on the Island of Númenor. That is all true.

But please allow me to set the record straight. Yes, I was once in allegiance with the Dark Lord Sauron. But that alliance has ended. To tell you the truth, I always hated the guy.
