You really got me with this one, but I appreciate the endorsement. 

I hope it won't be too elitist when I tout it to others.

I’m sure gentrification will make your touting travels easy. Godspeed, sir.

Like others have said, it probably has to do with shorter runs/lower overhead/more profit, but I wonder if part of it is also that there seems to be less separation between West End/off West End in London (since often times both are considered for Oliviers etc) so they may prefer the intimacy of smaller houses and don't see it as any loss in prestige? (I think the smallest official West End theater is also quite a bit smaller than the smallest Broadway theater.)

there was a major Off-Broadway revival at St Anns, the London transfer with Gillian Anderson and Ben Foster and Vanessa Kirby in 2016 as well

Huh. I must have mixed up the Helen McCrory production with the Cate version. Sorry about that.

I wasn't making a statement on the politics of gentrification I was just stating a fact.

A fact from your perspective only, but okay. I accept I probably projected too much onto your words.
