Not sure how much of the Harry Potter “brand” was inflicted onto each respective space, but the precedent of retaining the seating and aisle arrangements is already there."

No.The Mirvish is currently occupied by THE LION KING, which tells me the space was not given the same immersive atmosphere the Ly

BroadwayNYC2 said: "I know theLyric renovations essentially made an auditorium within an auditorium to make it more intimate. I would assume ATG would want to keep that setup instead of reverting to the previous barn, no?"

the auditorium within an auditorium is specifically designed for the show itself. It's tricked out to accomplish certain magic in the show and is literally a part of the set design. Even if they keep the shell as built, there will still be mass

Or is it more likely that they close Broadway to consolidateproductions tothe national tour, West End, Tokyo, Hamburg, andupcoming Netherlands sitdown?"

Given the massive investment ATG put into the Lyric's transformation for CURSED CHILD, the discussion su

Saw this last night and absolutely hated it. I was bored, angry, antsy, and just miserable the entire show. Moving this to Broadway was a colossal mistake.

I did not see it downtown but can see how it would work in a smaller space - that makes a lot of sense, because in a smaller space, Durand's performance, even in stillness, an audience can read the exchange of energy between him and the rest of the cast...so we feel for him as terrible things continue to happen to him.

Saw this on Monday and loved it; was ashamed to say so because everyone has been sh*tting on it. Good for Jesse Green for being brave enough to speak his truth.

I think the majority of the hate on this show is coming because people expected something very specific. Just because you thought what SMASH would (or moreso, should) be, and went in with expectations that didn't match what you saw, isn't anyone's fault but your own. It doesn&

Kevin Csolak is almost overwhelmingly charismatic in that song (if not technically the strongest singer) and it got the next biggest round of applause after Rose’s two numbers both times I saw it. Maybe because I’m not a Gypsy purist, but I thought it was dynamite and danced to perfection."

I just remember being entranced by the whole thing - the soaring vocals, the simple but amazing set and the dances (especially the sword dance) and didn't really pay too much attention to the book. I do recall that the town disappeared to be saved from an English attack in that version."

OMG! This production was INCREDIBLE, I'll never forget

Finally caught this last night - I am a huge GYPSY fan, and a *HUGE* Audra fan - she is probably my #1 diva - but sadly this did not do it for me. I found it it to be painted in very broad.strokes.

The production overall lacks the specificity and laser focus required to make the show emotionally affecting, and the fault lies entirely with George C. Wolfe. Everyone, with the exception of Danny Burstein, are playing either highly obvious choices (Audra, Joy Woods) or highly isoteric

Why? It does almost as good as Aladdin and it's one of the very few Broadway shows that is of any interest to kids and young teens. And it recouped."

Be curious to know their weekly nut. It’s doing fine but not gangbusters but if it’s still making a profit then why close it."

Apparently the weekly nut is
