"So I've done my fair share of theater. I have also been very fortunate in that I've been able to come to New York two or three times a year just to see as many shows as possible. I think the live theater culture here is incredible"
About this Quote
The repeated emphasis on luck and access - "very fortunate", "able to come to New York two or three times a year" - is also a soft acknowledgement of privilege, delivered in the language of gratitude. He isn't bragging about mobility; he's smoothing the edges of it. The subtext is: this city is still the center of the live-performance universe, and I don't take that for granted.
Context-wise, Harris has long moved between TV fame and stage prestige, and the quote reads like an actor defending theater's relevance in an entertainment economy built to keep you at home. "Live theater culture here is incredible" lands as both testimonial and subtle pitch: the thing that happens in real time, with real bodies, still beats the screen. It's boosterism, yes, but it's also a reminder that Broadway's power is collective - a network of shows, audiences, and rituals that even a star has to enter as a participant, not the main event.
