'I wonder if they are going to model the theater after some of the European ones. The theater's that Stage Entertainment owns are gorgeous!'
Would be tricky but not impossible, I quite like the Hafen Theatre which houses the Lion King in Hamburg but I could not see a similar theatre being built on Broadway or the West End, Something like the Neue Flora Theater also in Hamburg would be more doable.
Or if the Ed Sullivan Theatre ever returns to legit use, it could reclaim its original name (which was for Oscar II's grandfather, but nevertheless...)
Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop.
Could The Ed Sullivan ever return to theatrical use? Would have thought it would need a major overhaul since it's been a television studio for over 50 years.
If the New Amsterdam could be brought back, anything is possible. Having said that , the Ed Sullivan ain't going anywhere. The Hellinger would be a better case for renewal if the church gives it up as much less work would need to be done.
New theater being built if you mean this particular news story. If you mean the Times Square Theater's re-development in general, it was almost the home of "Broadway 4D" until financing dried up. Could it still be re-opened as a theater? Good question...
Also, for those of you familiar with that stretch of 45th Street, the parking garage in question is not where they are thinking about building the theatre (the former site of the Klaw Theatre). They would however, level that small parking lot and area where some of the tents stand. They specifically mentioned where Kazino laid stake. (The lot just west of the parking garage.)
