No, but as discussed in another thread, 1 seems to be open.

Stage 1 has indeed been open since Rent closed, so I can only assume that it will be going there.

fantastic! this makes me so happy!! I think this could breathe new life into the show, having a smaller stage, really bringing the audience close to the environment, that could be really really cool.

Wonderful news. I think it will have a good life off-Broadway like Avenue Q has had.

It will go into Stage 1.

So happy this is finally official, can't wait to see who will transfer with the production, or what fresh faces might join the cast.

WOOHOO!! So happy for this show!! I wonder if Borle would ever return to the show, even with it moving off-Broadway??

Doesn't this mark the first "Disney" show to ever play Off-Broadway?

I don't know anything about NWS, so there is more then one stage I assume?
PETER AND THE STARCATCHER to Move to New World Stages after Broadway Closing

Yep, New World Stages is a complex with four stages.

Easily one of the best and most creative shows I've ever seen. So happy to see it live on. Can't wait to see it again.

This already WAS off b'way, it's returning. It was at New York Theater Workshop (as was Once) back in Spring of 2011.
(Oh, how quickly people forget.)

BTW...for those unfamiliar with NWS, it was built as a movie theater, which is why t has multiple spaces.
It's a pretty cool space, IMO.

The New World has five stages.

This is a weird space for Peter, but I'm happy it lives on!

Yes, NWS has 5 theaters. Currently BARE-The Musical, Avenue Q, Forever Dusty and The Gazillion Bubble show are playing. At times there may be 6 shows there. Naked Boys Singing played in Stage 2, where the Bubble Show is, at night for a long while. Jackie Hoffman's show was also in Stage 2 at night.

Confused. Hasn't this struggled on Broadway? I remember more than a few weeks when they barely made 60% capacity. What is the justification in shoving it into the grey dungeon on 50th Street where shows go to die?

Posted by CapnHook 2013-01-17 22:18:36
Because AVE Q certainly went there to die.

Oh please. Name three more. And have you seen the cast of Avenue Q sleepwalking through their show recently?

I don't think New World Stages can be labeled as a place where "shows go to die." I applaud the venue for trying to revive the commercial off-Broadway scene. And while its previous tenants may not have all been commercial successes, that just goes with the territory. I can certainly list productions that made a good effort, even if they didn't recoup.
THE 39 STEPS
RENT
MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET
I think NWS has the potential to be a great showcase of theater that would otherwise not have a chance on Broadway. It's one of the few great locations in midtown where producers can put up their work amongst the non-profit companies.

Because 60% at the Brooks Atkinson Theater is 110% at the New World Stages (stage 1)
