Broadway is increasingly relying on star power to revitalize its productions amid rising costs and a slow recovery in audience numbers following the coronavirus pandemic. The industry is looking to Hollywood's glamour to attract more viewers and rejuvenate its appeal. This trend is echoed by the resurgence of classic films in cinemas, indicating a broader cultural appetite for nostalgic entertainment. Additionally, Shakespeare in the Park is set to return to the newly renovated Delacorte Theater next summer, featuring a star-studded cast, which further highlights the industry's strategy to draw audiences through high-profile performances.
