What Motivates You To See A Broadway Show?

Last week, one of my welcome guests challenged a comment I made with respect to my posting on entrance applause. I said, "I would also venture that a large number of audience members have decided to visit Broadway because an actor or actress they've greatly admired is performing. For many, it may very well be their first foray into the theatre, and thus it does not surprise me that they would applaud the star of the show."

Am I right or am I wrong? Or perhaps it's just one of many factors. You tell me!

Share your thoughts here, and don't forget to vote in my latest SOB Poll in which I ask you to tell me what motivates you to see a Broadway show.


Also, thanks to everyone who voted in my last poll in which I asked you if you'll see Young Frankenstein in spite of the fact that the top seats are priced at $450. To date, even though a sizeable minority (43.2%) were evidentally appalled enough to say "Absolutely not!" a majority of you (56.8%) said you would see it, with most of you indicating you'd opt for the cheapest seats.
