> nothing to do with gov't policy

Not true. If they were allowed to fill their theaters up, they'd probably have reopened already. The business decision to not reopen is because they can't be profitable with the vastly reduced capacity that the government is currently mandating.

look at any country with open policies. attendance at theaters and the like are at record lows. spending is down. broadway in NYC runs on tourism.

you might survive for a few months, but if the science is correct, you will just shut down again or people will be afraid to go. broadway can't afford to gamble like that.

Look at where exactly? The only equivalent to Broadway I know of is London's West End, and they don't have open policies.
