  • BROADWAY BOUND: Mezer's Modest Proposals This Piece Comes to You Compliments of ACREL Fellow Steve Mezer of Becker & Poli
    BROADWAY BOUND: Mezer’s Modest Proposals This piece comes to you compliments of ACREL Fellow Steve Mezer of Becker & Poliakoff who has a front row view of Broadway for several reasons. He is on the Board of the Straz Performing Arts Center in Tampa that invests in and presents Broadway shows. He is also a theater aficionado who spends his free time in NYC with his wife Karen bingeing on Broadway and Off Broadway musicals. Broadway theater is a unique American cultural experience. Other cities have vibrant theater scenes, but no other American venue offers Broadway’s range of options. I recommend that you come a day early and stay a date later for our Fall meeting in New York and take in a couple of Broadway shows. I grew up 90 miles outside of New York City; Broadway was and remains a family staple. I can neither sing nor dance, but I have a great appreciation for musical theater. So here are my recommendations: Musicals: 2016 was one of Broadway’s most successful years as it presented many original works and attracted unprecedented attention with Hamilton and its record breaking (secondary market) ticket prices. October is a transition month, an exciting time to see a new Broadway show. Holiday Inn, an Irving Berlin musical, begins previews September 1, and opens on October 6 at Studio 54. Jim (played by Bryce Pinkham) leaves his farm in Connecticut and meets Linda (Laura Lee Gayer) a school teacher brimming with talent. Together they turn a farmhouse into an inn with dazzling performances to celebrate each holiday.

While the combined strength of the city’s creative sector may not trump the impact of the financial services sector, it isn’t far off. The city’s creative economy consists of 12,066 businesses and non- profits (5.8 percent of all employers in the five bor- oughs) and provides employment to 309,142 peo- ple (8.1 percent of all city workers). In recent years, the sector has added jobs at a considerably faster rate than the overall city economy: between 1998 and 2002, employment in New York’s creative core grew by 13.1 percent (adding 32,000 jobs) while the city’s overall job totals increased by 6.5 percent during this period. Among the city’s nearly unparalleled concentra- tion of creative core enterprises, New York has more than 2,000 arts and cultural non-profits and over 500 art galleries, roughly 2,300 design services businesses, more than 1,100 advertising-related firms, nearly 700 book and magazine publishers, and 145 film production studios and stages.
