In New York most theatres are situated on Broadway. Unlike the theatres in this country, they only take actors and actresses for one play, which in then performed as long as people come to see it. Steet Entertainment Waht we like to do in Britain? Maybe we want to hear music ancient and modern, watch clowns and magicians, and perhaps see some nice paintings as well. You could go to a concert hall, a rock'n'roll club, the circus and an art gallery. We'd probably have a lot of fun and we'd definitely spend a lot of money. Why not just fo for a walk down a main steet instead? In a British city there is nearly always some kind of music in the steets. Some of it is awful - I once saw an old man, who knew aboy two notes but couldn't play either o f them properly, "plaing" a mouth-organ - but some of it is marvellous. I haveseen a twelve-man jazz band, a string quartet playing Mozart, and a group playing fifties' rock'n'roll, all in the street. The underground in London is another good place fo music. There are signs everywhere saying it is forbidden, but they don't seem to have much effect. But music is not the only art form you find in public places. Pavement artists produce pictures in chalk, either on the pavement itself or on big pieces of paper that they can use again, and in places like Covent Garden in London there are all sorts of free entertainments, for example clowns,jugglers, magicians, mime artists, dancers, and so on.
