All four of those companies occupy very different real estate than NYTW. While technically all are Off-Broadway companies, the ones that you cite are small, predominantly itinerant companies that are engaging an older audience and style of theater making.
The Pearl is the only company that even remotely resembled NYTW, and they failed because they made poor real estate choices and weren't able to reach a younger, more diverse audience. If they had managed to attract the NYTW audience and pay for their expensive midtown theater, they probably would still be in business. |
