TICKETING:
"Apple
Pay’s
Broadway
Debut"
by
PYMNTS
-
"...
TodayTix
...
sells
one
ticket
every
15
seconds
and
has
topped
$250
million
in
tickets
sold
to
over
4.6
million
customers.
...
TodayTix
started
the
process
by
testing
the
feature
with
a
small
part
of
its
audience,
and
then
introduced
Apple
Pay
as
an
option
for
all
users
at
the
beginning
of
March.
...
Two-thirds
–
or
66
percent
–
of
TodayTix’s
transactions
occurred
on
iOS
in
March.
Of
those
transactions,
about
two
in
10
–
or
19
percent
–
of
users
tapped
into
Apple
Pay.
...
The
company
also
noted
it
saw
a
13
percent
increase
in
sales
conversion
for
users
who
had
set
up
Apple
Pay
but
didn’t
have
a
credit
card
installed
in
its
system
...
They
also
reported
a
nearly
5
percent
increase
in
conversion
for
users
who
had
Apple
Pay
set
up
and
a
2.6
percent
overall
sales
increase
on
the
platform."

PLATT:
"Can
Atlantic
Records
Make
Broadway
Vet
Ben
Platt
a
Pop
Star?" by
Billboard's
Rebecca
Milzoff
-
"But
at
a
moment
when
the
pop
and
musical
theater
worlds
share
more
than
ever,
Atlantic
is
betting
that
Platt
is,
in
the
words
of
president
of
A&R
Pete
Ganbarg,
a
“unicorn”
who
will
not
only
find
success
but
also
longevity
--
perhaps
taking
his
place
one
day
alongside
the
patron
saint
of
musical
theater
crossover,
Barbra
Streisand."

REVIEW:
"‘Do
You
Feel
Anger’
Plumbs
the
Depths
of
Office
Humor"
by
The
New
York
Times'
Ben
Brantley
-
"Ms.
Nelson-Greenberg
has
had
the
inspired
notion
of
translating
everyday
sexism
into
the
ostensibly
nonsensical
language
of
absurdism,
as
it
was
practiced
by
the
likes
of
Eugene
Ionesco,
the
young
Edward
Albee
and,
more
recently,
Christopher
Durang.
In
the
testosterone-saturated
world
of
“Do
You
Feel
Anger?,”
words
have
been
uprooted
and
mangled
to
the
point
that
they
now
convey
only
the
most
atavistic
impulses."
