    Do you want to know how important Broadway is to New York City’s economy? About 14.77 million people went to Broadway shows last season. That’s five million more people than went to Yankees, Mets, Knicks, Nets, Rangers, Islanders, Giants and Jets games COMBINED.

    On the same day of the Newtown shooting in 2012, 23 elementary school students were attacked in China. All of them survived. Why? The weapon was a knife.
