What is going on/into the August Wilson? are they planning on keeping the setup (personally I wish they would, It's an innovative theatre design that could be beneficial to the New York theatres. I would think the latest CATS would do well in there. Just curious, if CATS was going in or something else.

Usually when shows transform a theater (see also shows like Here Lies Love and Great Comet), they are responsible for putting it back the way it was before.

It would've been nice if they at least kept the paint work they did on the walls of the stairways and landings, a shame to have it go back to whatever that uninspiring color it usually is.

To be fair, the producers (and theatre owners) thought that paint work was going to be there for at least 5 years 😂
