| But maybe not. I'm just guessing that love letters will extend as long as they get stars rotating through. It's one set, two actors two scripts and a desk and chairs for props. The shows weekly cost is probably $200k plus star percentages of gross. Very cheap to run. I'd love to see it with brad Pitt and Jennifer Anniston. Not sure if Jolie would approve of that casting. | |

| Nederlander if going to "Honeymoon in Vegas." There was a switcheroo. "Love Letters" going to the Atkinson. | |

| The seating of both theaters is similar, but still, I pick,seats based on theaters sometimes. | |

| Heck, when I find an ideal seat in a particular theater, I try buying it the next time I go there. I know I did that with the Golden prior to the remodel. There was a seat in Row C I made sure I got for The Normal Heart. | |

| Seems the obvious choice, unless Love Letters proves a smash (and they can line up more stars to do it). | |

| If it's pippin size ( both art productions), then Atkins probably would work. And Jeremy Jordan (who looks sooooo hot in that beard) and Laura Kelley are probably not a box office draws that a larger house would warrant. | |

| It's playing in a 540 seat theater in Cambridge. I'm having a hard time imagining that the stage space at ART is significantly larger than the space at the Atkinson. | |

| ART's stage is huge. It is larger than most B'way houses. | |

| Can't comment on Finding Neverland as I haven't seen it yet, but All the Way had to be scaled down to fit in the Neil Simon where the stage is not as wide or as deep as ART. | |

| There's hardly any nonprofits even close to small broadway houses. American idiot went to st James. And even music box pippin is in twice the size of art. Old globe is pretty small and many shows like dirty rotten scoundrel went to big houses like imperial. I don't think you can assume a one to one correlation based on pre broadway tryout in some cases. | |

| The papermill production was large and I didn't think it would fit at atkinson, which is one reason they are switching to nederlander. I just don't know if there are a lot of scene changes in finding neverland that can be just pushed on stage or scrim drop that are acceptable at nonprofit that would be cheap looking on broadway stage and require more space for better quality/looking set. I haven't seen the show. | |

| I don't remember anything "large" about the physical design of FINDING NEVERLAND. If I remember correctly, the set consisted of a collage of images, a clock, a theater curtain and a tree. Actually, now that I think about it, the physical design was not all that impressive. I would think it would have to change in order to work in a large Broadway house. | |

| I see what you mean, but I really doubt they would have announced for the Atkinson if they didn't think the production would work on the stage there :-) | |

| But if it fits in a small theater, then I don't think you can say "x theater on Broadway is probably too small for the show." Of course they can always scale up if they want to, but that's not the same as the theater being too small. | |

| It's not a particularly huge physical show. I actually think a large house would kill it. | |
