It could, but why would it?"
I could see it having a decent run off Broadway and plod along at the advantage of lower costs. When I saw it I never thought it was a tourist show and appealed more to the New York midtown crowd, that see off Broadway.
Guys help me out on this one, need your great knowledge on this one.
I hope to catch The Band’s Visit on Sunday evening 20th January, the show starts at 7pm and is only 90 minutes long, so should be out on the sidewalk by 8:30, from there I plan to head home to London, there is a flight at 11:55 which I can do.

From a city that hasn’t had a sit down since Wicked, it is suddenly going to get 2, can San Francisco handle 2 sit downs? Could the Golden Gate Theatre handle all the tours, with the Curran and the Orpheum tied up? Could A.C.T take overspill of a Broadway plays like Humans or small musicals?
