PETER AND THE STARCATCHER to Move to New World Stages after Broadway Closing

[LizzieCurry]

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

(Now, about Fat Camp...?)

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.

I'm so happy that this show will live on! NWS will be a great, intimate space for this inventive and thrilling play.

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?

[CapnHook]

Because AVE Q certainly went there to die.

[Matt Rogers]

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

[CapnHook]

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.

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)
