You don't need to strip search & detain & deport too many white European tourists to crush the tourist industry.

Broadway ticket prices are completely out of control β€” Denzel Washington’s show is charging $900 for just Row M This is not a victory for classics. It’s a war on your wallet.

"Othello is one of several celebrity-fueled plays this spring that are charging obscene prices...
