James Stewart takes a look at theater tickets on Broadway, a topic I discussed last year. I love his ending:
Dynamic pricing and super-premium prices may be relatively new, but the scarcity of tickets for hit shows has a long tradition. Mr. Schumacher cited �My Fair Lady,� the �Hamilton� of the 1955-56 Broadway season. As Broadway lore has it, a man in the audience turned to his neighbor, an older woman, and asked why the fifth-row center seat next to her was empty.
�My husband died,� she replied.
�Didn�t anyone else want to come?� he asked.
�No,� she answered. �They�re all at the funeral.�
