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.

Just give the world Love.

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?

Because AVE Q certainly went there to die.

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
--Aristotle

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.

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)
