I know everyone’s industry is affected, but here are some not so fun facts on the live entertainment industry:
-
Legendary New York Metropolitan Opera has just announced its closure until September 2021. Their musicians, choirs, stage techs, etc, along with the rest of the industry have been without pay since last April.
-
Broadway is closed until mid-2021
-
6 West End venues THINK they can open right now.
-
Cirque du Soleil cut over 3500 jobs.
-
Feld Entertainment (family tours - Disney on Ice, Monster Jam, circus, etc) has permanently fired 90% of their workforce.
-
Live Nation, AEG and other concert promoters have laid off a majority of their employees.
-
Talent agencies and management companies who plan & book concerts, appearances, festivals, etc have laid off over half their employees.
-
Cruise boat artists are unemployed and amusement park productions have no idea when they will be rehired.
-
There are no concerts, festivals, or tours scheduled until 2021 and if they don't perform next year they are likely to go bankrupt & may never happen again. No Jazz Festival, no Coachella, no Bonnaroo, no EDC, no Glastonbury, no tours, no ballet, no opera.... it's all gone.
-
It is predicted that 90% of independent music rooms could close if this continues.
-
Artistic and musical organizations of all kinds - choirs, theaters, orchestras, dance companies, festivals, music rooms, not to mention all technical and independent suppliers - all are trying to find alternatives to succeed in working.
-
Over 12,000,000 people work in entertainment production, we are not insignificant and this industry can't reopen until mass gatherings are allowed. This doesn't include the additional dismissal of techs and openers, maintenance staff for bar rooms and staff, safety and thousands of vendors.
The cure is worse than the disease.
Its really fucking evil what the dems the media and china have done to our country.
I know we don't always give much love to the entertainment industry, but these are 12 million fellow Americans that have no idea what their future will hold.
All this because the Dems are pissed off at Trump.
Oh no. That sucks.
"Entertainment."
To hold at tension. Look up the etymology. All they tell is Molech stories. Fuck 'em.
Don't forget Pelosi's beloved Kennedy Center, which received $25 mil in the stimulus bill and then promptly fired 700 employees/artists

The entertainment industry has done everything it can to promote progressive causes in this country. You wanted Venezuela. Now you have a taste of it.

A silver lining may be that a collapse of some of these artistic institutions could possibly give rise to a rebirth of indie and non-institutional art.
I feel bad for broadway and the opera but honestly, i am happy to see the Hollywood studio system go up in flames. The shit has been fucked up and corrupt since it's inception. I could see music having a glorious rebirth as well.
THIS.
It's what I'm doing.

Sorry if I don't feel sad for an entire industry that spent four years supporting progressives(Sparked the Hoax Rona Response) is out of work due to their handiwork.
Screw them.
Hopefully what comes back was has had the wokeness burned out of it.
We can only hope
Good luck with that.
They all vote for, and donate to, Biden and Hillary and Barry and Mondale.
All colluding.
DeBlasio and Cuomo shut them down.
They will all vote for him again. Or, they will move somewhere else, and infect that area by voting for DNC/UN people.
Disney? Go broke, evil people who worship China, and hate children.
The circuses? They were already killed off by crazies, animal liberationists, environmentalists.
Opera? Nothing to listen to with no Pavarotti.
A complete industry of rainbow pushers, globalists, and Side of Beef worshipers. Always wanting the taxpayer handouts. Always spitting on the citizens.
Nothing to do with President Trump. The dancers and prancers were shut down by those they vote for.
Also, if the ticket scammers go bankrupt, a huge bonus to the world.
Thank you.
But muh arts! Muh "entertainment!"
You deserve your shackles, sheep.
And these are the people who vote for Democrats. I hope they are swallowing big red pills. Other industries destroyed: small gym owners, personal trainers, yoga instructors, yoga studios, massage therapists, aestheticians, the list goes on.
I care far, far, far more about them than some effete, overpaid "entertainers."
Good Riddance.
The Arts, Sports, and Entertainment are full of Narcissistic, Condescending Leftists anyway.
Let them learn manual labor.
Downvoting secret lefties.
Screw 'em, pede.
Pede... I like you.
Frens?
You just hate to hear it.
Thank you!!!!!! #WeMakeEvents
All commie propaganda anyway.
Better off without that shit.
