Seaview will take over the former Tony Kiser Theater, to become a commercial Off-Bway theater — Page 2

Just as we are experiencing a shift in what is being produced, we are also in the midst of a generation change in how it is produced, which of course includes how it is financed. The Rudin model is giving way to what we will call, at least as a placeholder, the Nobile model. Speaking of the former, and just to correct one thing, that poor excuse for a human actually has a very strong theatre provenance starting decades before his splash in the film business.

Seaview's apparent mission for the corner of 43rd and 8th is to invert Second Stage's. Instead of taking a second look at shows that did not resonate originally, they will eschew retreads in favor of the new and fresh. Until they change their mind as Second Stage did. :-)

I love this.

I can't imagine they would have done this deal unless they hoped some of it would transfer to Broadway. (I am not sure what you mean by "Likewise," but if you mean Bway--->Studio Seaview, then as someone else said, that's a hard no based on what they are saying. Clearly this venue will be aimed to developmental work.

I hope they do something with the facade. It’s so ugly.

Do we know what Seaview is working on next? Angry Alan isn’t going to be around for much longer. Or anything their producing outside of that theatre?
