Would Covid-19 lead the Phantom to switch to a mask rated N95? That seemed a little obvious. Then I edited the topic of my joke to focus on that musical and planned to write a punch line about wearing a mask.īut various punch lines I came up with didn’t seem quite right. I confirmed online that “The Phantom of the Opera” planned to reopen. The topic handles “Broadway” and “Covid-19” both have a lot of associations, so I was fairly sure I could turn the story into a joke.īrainstorming associations of “Broadway,” I thought pretty quickly of “The Phantom of the Opera.” Maybe that’s because the musical prominently features a guy wearing a mask, and “wear a mask” is one of the associations of “Covid-19.” The actual news story that I read was about Broadway theaters reopening after having been shut down by Covid-19. But things will be reversed because of Covid: If the audience takes off their masks, it’s the Phantom who’ll scream. In October, “The Phantom of the Opera” is returning to Broadway.
