ive narrowed down the places Natasha Pierre can play down to five theatres based on size and availability. They are the Walter Kerr, Belasco, Booth, Lyceum and Hudson. Any thoughts?

I'm so tired of unnecessary rude statements of the likes of BroadwayConcierge.  

BMT, those are all very good choices and having seen both the Kasino (sp?) and Boston productions, I think pretty much any smaller sized Broadway theater would do. I'd add the Golden to the list.

Thank you, I think it is all about maintaining the intimacy from the previous productions, but also making sure they can make as much money/sell as many seats as possible while retaining that intimacy.

I'm thinking the Hudson, just because it already has to go through an overhaul, so why not for this.

If it's going to look a lot like the ART production, the official stage area is very deep. At the ART, it was built out over the first 7-10 rows of the house.

I'd posted this idea in another thread- they might try to build a sort of stadium seating thing similar to Hollar if ya hear me that would connect the mezzanine to the orchestra.

The Kerr is full of partial view seats- the extreme sides of the orchestra and that balcony are quite obstructed (to say nothing of how frightening that balcony is).

I am starting to feel more and more that while this is one of my favorite shows ever, it also maybe isn't the best fit for Broadway. The tourist crowd would most likely not get into the mood required to enjoy the bouncy, fun yet layered show. I could not imagine there being double the number of seats seen at the ART, what was that, 200? 250?

At the loeb, about 1/5 of the seats in the mez were taken over into table / lamp things. I think they cut out the stage and orchestra for the stage, and there were about 150 seats there. So I would say there were around 250 seats at the loeb.

When you're up in the very back row at the Loeb, and the front orchestra and stage are where they usually are, you can feel a million miles away from the action particularly if it's a lugubrious Robert Wilson production or a moribund play about reality TV by Anthony Rapp's brother.

Oh dear I fervently hope it doesn't go into the Golden. Of the smaller Broadway theatres, it has one of the worst rear-mezzanines. I always feel miles away from the stage when I sit up there.

what about the Helen Hayes?

You are waaaay off with your numbers.  They did not lose 1/2 of their seating, especially since the stage build out provided seats as well.  So they didn't lose ALL the seats for on the front orchestra.  There are at least a hundred seats on stage.

And you'd still be wrong.   There is at LEAST 25 people in EACH full row, so even if there were ONLY 10 rows still left (and there were plenty more than that) that alone would be 250 people.
