Where will Harry Potter go if it continues with its longsit downs? Could it be Boston or back to San Francisco and Toronto or maybe Cleveland? Cannot think of any other cities that would sustain a long sit down?"

I doubt Toronto. They don't have a great track record of bringing back shows that weren't hits the first time around.

Would this sell well in Orlando? Are people on vacation happy/afford to put hundreds of dollars down for tickets, with the other expenses? Just wondering as Florida is one of the largest states population wise and seems very wealthy and affluent, with a lot of retirees - however national tours only seem to do a week then move to the next city, with non equity mopping up in the big towns. I have always been surprised tours don’t do better, the same could be said of Las Vegas.

I mostly suggested Orlando as a joke. The touring venues in Orlando and Las Vegas are very much localized and aren’t really selling to the tourists.

I always had a similar thought about Florida; you have Broward, Adrienne Arsht, and Kravis PACs all hosting first run tours relatively nearby each other. Can’t you just have one them host a long sit down run? Same with Costa Mesa. It makes no sense why you need a venue hosting first run tours that close to LA where you have the Pantages and Ahmanson.

Also Broward has a large amount of people that comes down from Boston/New York People going/coming off cruises so would thought that Miami area could have as big theatre audience as San Francisco.

As with Las Vegas/Orlando I guess the tours I watched by predominantly local residence and may get the odd person on vacation. As we have seen Broadway on the strip was a failure. If the tours could attract a hybrid of people on vacation and local residence then it might be possible to have longer sit downs.

The Smith Center feels like it is way too far off Strip to attract tourists.  With the price of parking at strip resorts most people aren't renting cars unless they have plans to travel out of the city.  I just looked at Google maps and put in the MGM Grand as an example, and it says it takes about hour to get there on the Deuce bus.  Google does show it as being walking distance from Fremont. 

I've never happened to be in Las Vegas when something was plating at the Smith Center.  I made a hotel reservation for the first week of October next year on a black friday sale because it was a good deal, so I'll be watching for what events get anounced.  But it's easily canceled if my plans change.
