Producers of "The Producers" on Broadway have come up with a novel idea... They're going to out-scalp the scalpers. If you know anything about the premise of the play, the irony is not lost here. Currently the most expensive seats, at face value, run about $100/pop (the most expensive ticket on Broadway). Now they're talking about raising it to $480/pop. Oh but we can't forget to mention that they say they'll donate $150 of that to the Twin Towers fund "for several months". Gee, would you like to define "several"? This is just pathetic! Actors like Kevin Spacey set up funds (when starring in "The Iceman Cometh") to allow under-privileged and inner-city students the opportunity to see the show for free/cheap. Yet the producers of "The Producers" think it's ok to charge more because somewhere someone is paying it to somebody else -- even when that practice by the scalpers is illegal (when charging more than 20% of the face price)? Whatever!
