Hmmm... The Curran housed Phantom for five years, as well as several visits from Les Miserables. It's hard for me to believe that they couldn't fit any of the upcoming shows in that theater. As far as capacity goes, it's bigger than all but five of the Broadway houses.

Some of it has to do with fly space - have you seen Newsies? Big, high stage. Some of it has to do with space in the wings. Kinky Boots has a big set piece that I think has to go in the wings, and Motown has a HUGE cast that does lots of quick changes and there's just no room in the wings for that at the Curran. And the Phantom that's coming is a new production, which must be larger than what they had before.
