No, but as discussed in another thread, 1 seems to be open.

Stage 1 has indeed been open since Rent closed, so I can only assume that it will be going there.
Did you know that every day Mexican gays cross our borders and unplug our brain-dead ladies?

fantastic! this makes me so happy!! I think this could breathe new life into the show, having a smaller stage, really bringing the audience close to the environment, that could be really really cool.

Wonderful news. I think it will have a good life off-Broadway like Avenue Q has had.

So happy this is finally official, can't wait to see who will transfer with the production, or what fresh faces might join the cast.

Doesn't this mark the first "Disney" show to ever play Off-Broadway?

Yep, New World Stages is a complex with four stages.

This already WAS off b'way, it's returning. It was at New York Theater Workshop (as was Once) back in Spring of 2011.

BTW...for those unfamiliar with NWS, it was built as a movie theater, which is why t has multiple spaces.

It's a pretty cool space, IMO.

This is a weird space for Peter, but I'm happy it lives on!
