Broadway is Expensive. Times Square is a pain to walk through. Intermission isn't enough time to scarf down that $12 Watered-Down-Mojito which you can't bring to your seat.

Album Logos, Separated By Birth: Am I the only one who saw this: and thought maybe Spring Awakening had been re-released in an acoustic version?…
