My guess is that one, it's not actually that simple, and two, if the Shuberts wanted that they'd have done it by now.
Maybe Kinky Boots can make a run there, but it doesn't have a track record of attracting shows likely to do so. Remote location*, higher expenses than comparable venues (even though the list of 499-seat theatres is a short one).
*Yes, not nearly so remote-feeling now as when the theatre opened in 2002. The first towers between 10th and 11th were still newly sprouted then. |
