We have a production of the show every year here in Kansas City that I used to love to go see, and I was even a cast member for ten-plus years as a kid and a teenager.

Five years ago tickets were $40. Now? The least expensive seats are $110.

And that has happened with everything, including rent, food, utilities, and health care. I kinda just wish everyone would take this year off and buy nothing to make a statement about capitalism.
