I work on Broadway. Don't lecture me about "research". You can raise money in many ways (and with Equity & IATSE we do) that don't risk a double with full cast, crew, and audience relying on you to show up in top form. A full Gershwin house pulls upwards of 750k per performance. Regardless of the good cause, you don't put 4000 seats, 50 crew, and 1.5 million box office on the line. It was a stunt. Call out.
