I read an article in the Trib a few years a ago that Chicago actually could use several more stages like this. There's demand for several Wicked/Spamalot/Book of Mormon type shows at once, but they really don't have enough places to go. They need a big stage and also a big seating area--but not too big. Some places that might accommodate these productions have some scheduling commitments that can't be worked around.
