Here Lies Love Adopts Standing Room Only in Orchestra

In order to get the concert feel, the orchestra section seats have been removed out and now the area is a standing area with just a few floor seats on the both sides.

"Broadway Theatre" Often An Empty Venue Due To a Curse or Mismanagement?

The Broadway Theatre is empty more often that it has a show in it, so it comes as a surprise that this show will sit-down in it.

The theatre landlord, The Shubert Organization, must be using this theatre as tax write off, as very few Broadway shows are ever sucessfull here. It often seems like the kiss of death for shows to appear on the cursed boards of The Broadway Theatre.

Past Show Debacles At The Broadway Theatre

2020's West Side Story ended on a number of sour notes, especially because of its runaway production costs. The show also faced scrutiny for its casting of Amar Ramasar, a principal dancer who was embroiled in a #MeToo scandal. Scott Rudin was also a producer on this show and his four decades of abuse finally came to an end at the same time.

Last Successful Show At The Broadway Theatre

1991's Miss Saigon was the last hit at this theatre, as everything else since has failed miserably in both box office and critically. This includes: The Little Prince, King Kong and Rocktopia. There hasn't been anything else of note at this theatre since Miss Saigon's closing in 2001 and it usually just sits empty, despite a plethora of producers looking for Broadway space.

Only the Nederlander Theatre does worse in terms of Broadway show theatre failures, but at least that theatre does not lie empty most of the time.

What’s Here Lies Love Like?

The show provides a semi-immersive experience where the audience is intermingled with the actors.

The Broadway Theatre is transformed from its traditional proscenium floor space into a dance club environment. Both standing and seated tickets are available.

Is Here Lies Love Good for Kids?

This show is not intended for audiences under the age of 16 years old.
