In any case, this is the cheapest way to put on a show. No sets. Virtually no costumes. It is simply a black box concert version. Literally and figuratively an underwear version. In principle, they could do the entire show on the sidewalk like ham4ham, albeit behind bulletproof glass, or in a tent in central park. My point is that this concept gives a lot of flexibility. Another option is in the front section of every cinema hall in the city. And yes, I am being serious. As long as Jamie Lloyd can film and project his stuff he will be happy. You can even screen it to multiple screens in the building at the same time. Have the cast move around from hall to hall. Have the audience walk to the foyer, the indoors glass balcony, where she sings "DCFMA" and create your own crowd. Maybe cheaper tickets for the descamisados who will watch the thing from the smaller halls/mostly through the screen and who are then being led to the foyer for DCFMA. And more expensive tickets for the main hall, where most of the show takes place. This way you have multiple halls at once, a new experience, a safe balcony, controlled crowds, a cheaper venue, and the separation between expensive tickets and cheaper tickets, making it accessible for everyone. Why would they hire an expensive Broadway theatre for this concert and videocam-stream anyway? Hiring a Broadway theatre to put on a show is substantially more expensive, often by a factor of 100 or more per week.
