The Little Shubert

Didn't "My Mother's Jewish, My Father's Italian, and I'm in Therapy" play there for a while?

The problem with the Little Shubert is the cost of doing a show there. It's only a little less than the cost of doing something in a smaller (think Helen Hayes or Booth) Broadway theatre. So most producers, I think, look at it and say why not raise a little bit more capital and go for Broadway?

The LIttle Shubert, as an off-Broadway venue, would be more attractive and viable if they'd lower the rent a little bit.

Thanks for that.
It just seemed to off the map of recent.
Good to hear it's still there even if underused.

Fame on 42nd Street was there, the Three Mo' Tenors and My mother was Jewish, My Father Italian.

It's really a nice venue, not too big, not too small.

There was a selection from Lee Hall's 'Billy Elliot' diary in the UK press last week and he mentioned that they had taken over an entire Broadway theatre fro the rehearsals and I wondered which one it was? - query now answered!
