Celebrity Biography and Illusionists Marquee

Very specific and perhaps rather random question:

I somehow completely missed that Celebrity Autobiography was even opening, let alone at the same theater as The Illusionists. How do they handle the marquee and signage at the Marquis to account for two different shows playing at the same time? I assume it's an LCD marquee that can change easily. But if you're just strolling through Times Square during the middle of the day, which show appears as the one playing? Does it somehow show both?

Theater marquees have always fascinated me and I'm very curious about this.

I saw Celebrity Autobiography on Monday night and the marquee and signage was all The Illusionists. Does make sense as Celebrity Autobiography only has 3 shows.

Ah, ok. Didn't realize there were so few performances of Celebrity Autobiography. That does make sense. Thanks!

How was the show?  I had seen it several years ago at the Triad but curious as to how it played in a large theatre.  I wanted to go but the weather was so bad.
