As even the most casual Follies fan knows, Michael Bennett did not stage "Who's That Woman" in Boston. There are plenty of photos of him and the gals working on it in the rehearsal studio here in NY before they headed up to Massachusetts for the tryout.

Smidge, they are changing the entrance for the Lyric for Harry Potter - and I assume all other shows after it. So therefore it's the only theater on that side of 43rd. I'm excited to see what they do with it. I hope they do something as "picture worthy" at the London set up. And curious to see what they do the 42nd street side as well.

Correction -- most posters on this board show like to THINK they possess more knowledge, insight and wit than Riedel will ever have. And on this issue, he is correct --- they are making the West 43rd street entrance the primary entrance for this production.

maybe it's just me, but I'm seeing MEAN GIRLS as the next Legally Blonde. It'll run for a few years, but that's about it.

When it was a movie theater, the entrance was on 42nd Street. Ever since the new theater opened the main entrance has always been 43rd Street where the box office is. There is a small entrance/exit on 42nd.

it's never been a movie theater? Maybe WAY back in the day. And the box office is on 42nd.

That's a photo of 43rd. The box office is on 42nd, through this main entrance:

And not it hasn't. The main address is 42nd street, so the main entrance is 42nd second street. Thats like saying your address is 123 Smith Road, but its fine, you can enter through the back if you want Mr. Mailman, we have a bucket to put the mail.
