- Summary
- The impact of the 1982-3 recession on Broadway is examined by the Eyewitness News team in this brief piece. Passersby in Times Square complain that high ticket prices keep them away from shows; Arthur Rubin, of the Nederlander Organization, sympathizes with this reaction. Producer Joseph Papp suggests that one solution might be for city, state, or federal subsidies to underwrite "serious" plays, to keep production and ticket prices down.
