    Inelastic.

    Explanation:

    Elasticity of demand for a particular product is a measure of responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the product. Generally when price increases there is a decrease in the quantity demanded of a product.

    When demand is elastic it gives normal results.

    However when demand is inelastic an increase in price will not lead to a proportional decrease in demand.

    The Broadway play company can increase prices and notice a low reduction in quantity demanded (that is from a full theatre to a three quarter theatre).

    This indicates that the reduction in quantity demand is small relative to price as they make more profit by raising price.
