Beacham Theatre
The Beacham, as it is currently named, has since been used as a series of concert venues and nightclubs thus saving it from demolition. The Beacham Theatre was once home to the late-night underground discotheque Aahz that is recognized internationally as a birthplace and critical component of the electronic dance music movement.
Nederlander Theatre
When "RENT", set in the Alphabet City neighborhood of Manhattan's East Village, opened in 1996, the theater underwent remodeling of the façade and interior to resemble a downtown nightclub. When Rent closed in 2008, refurbishing quickly got underway for the new show, a revival of "Guys and Dolls" starring Oliver Platt and Lauren Graham. The show played only 147 performances and was a box office failure when it closed June 14, 2009. The Neil Simon plays "Brighton Beach Memoirs" and "Broadway Bound" were to premiere at the theatre in the fall, and perform alternating shows. However, due to weak ticket sales for "Brighton Beach Memoirs" the show closed November 1, 2009 and the planned production of "Broadway Bound" was canceled.
