Broadway to cut costs with Robotic Performers


The costs of production, talent, rights and royalties are souring. The ticket prices just keep going up. Just to cover costs and break even a show needs more luck than betting on horse races.

At a broadway bar after a recent opening, one prominent impresario was heard complaining vehemently about the cost, upkeep and maintenance of human talent in long running musicals.

He is not alone. At a recent meeting of Broadway theatre producers a proposal was put on the table to replace the very stuff that we think Broadway is, the Stars.

“They have to eat, they have to sleep, they get sick, they get injured, and they have so much attitude.

“Audiences these days come for the spectacle, only second for individual performers.”

Independent Theatre Producer Hal Good admits, “Most people can’t differentiate robots from real awake humans anyway.

Broadway has been moving in this direction for awhile now, since 42nd street was renovated to be more like Disney World.

Who needs people? People who need people? AAAH! Nothing but headaches and endless expenses.

Jeff Burnett of Jeff Burnett on Broadway comes out in defense of humans.
“I am outraged that producers would take that stance. It is such an affront to the whole nature of art, soul, and humanity. People come to be touched deeply! Robots can only impress us.
I hope I am not the last human to perform on Broadway.

Transhuman psychologists have a dire warning,
“Their ultimate goal is to make humans irrelevant. Talk about ego! The robots have that in spades, after all, they are a product of us humans. A.I. is just one super EGO, the composite of all humanity.

Humans actors whisper quietly backstage that their days are numbered. They are afraid to go on strike, knowing that the public just doesn’t care enough to support them.

Some more well known performers are licensing their voices and likeness already, even their characteristic movements, to make money from their robotic clones. This has been happening in video games and movies for some time, but we are about to see it happening on stage soon.

Its a small world after all.
