Broadway theatre is one of the finest theatres in the modern era with some of the most notable theatrical performances coming from the actors who have originated from these theatres. These theatres have had the privilege of staging one of the finest plays by notable dramatists such as William Shakespeare and George Bernard Shaw. The modern era of Broadway shows are done from Tuesday through Saturday with weekends being general holidays for the actors.
With the passage of time and the advent of globalization, Theatre has become extremely modern with a huge fan base. Theatre tickets are now sold both online as well as offline through traditional counters. Tickets for shows can be booked very well in advance. With the advent of the dot com bubble, internet has proved to be a great helping hand in reviving the art of theatre. The exact replicas of the posters of the shows to be performed are displayed on the net and interested viewers can even go through the reviews so that they can choose whether to see or not.
In order to boost up the revival of theatre, today a large number of actors from television and film background can be seen handling major roles in Broadway shows in order to attract larger audiences. Most of the Broadway producers and theatre owners are members of the prestigious Broadway League, a trade organization that promotes the art of theatre. Seeing a Broadway show today has been likened to a tourist activity which also adds up to the renewed ticket sales figure that can be seen in the ticket counters. The year 2010 registered a 12.11 million attendance at Broadway shows as compared to 11.88 in the year 2009. This is thus a very positive sign that the new generation has come to accept the values and the importance that theatre holds in the modern day society. |
