End of this summer? WE'LL SEE ABOUT THAT!
Of course I would *LOVE* for it to stay at the current location, but if they want it to look fancy schmancy then I guess there is no stopping them. I mean - the design won an AWARD! It's gonna be PRETTY! (I hope it is as pretty when I'm standing in long lines out in the rain trying to get one of those "cheap" tickets).
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

Well done, Mr. Davenport!
Shame shame on Ellen Goldstein of the Times Square Alliance!

Posted: 6/25/08 at 11:46pmI don't really understand the design. What exactly is the point of the steps? Maybe I'm missing something but from the pictures they seem rather vestigial.

More of a back view: 
I also thought I remember a thread on here that had concept pics, but I can't seem to find it.

End of the summer, my *ss! I'll believe it when I see it.
The whole thing's ridiculous, but I really do prefer their current location. They ought to just abandon this idea, steps and all.
