From where we sit, some of those theaters are too big for plays

What a terrible idea to book a play into the 2,200-seat Orpheum in S.F. ... Or into the 2,300-seat Cadillac in Chicago.

And it's going to the 2,084-seat Ahmanson in L.A. (But I read that it can be reconfigured to 1,600 seats for a play.)

By contrast, ''The Humans'' opened on Broadway at the 1,080-seat Schoenfeld ... and then moved to the 597-seat Helen Hayes.

It went to Hayes first and then schoenfeld because Hayes renovation was starting.

I'm used to seeing shows move from larger theaters to smaller ones (like ''Mamma Mia!'' went from the Winter Garden to the Broadhurst).
