91. NY State Liquor Authority Bans Comedy Shows But Not Live Music (SERIOUSLY!?!?)
from Making A Musical · host Jacki Thrapp
"Masks & Musicals: Broadway Karaoke (Live Piano)" is on hold after host Q.E.D. paused programming. The venue had to shut down temporarily Wednesday because the New York State Liquor Authority updated guidelines to ban "comedy shows" - which Q.E.D. primarily hosts. Our show, Masks & Musicals, is looking for a venue. But what happens to the other comedy shows? Jacklyn Thrapp explains why NYC faces a culture crisis if the government doesn't step in and help performance venues stay open. #Broadway #OffBroadway #ComedyShows #Standup
