St. James Theatre in New York City

• ... that a 40-foot-tall (12 m) mural outside Broadway's St. James Theatre was painted over due to a broken foot? Source: (1) Lambert, Bruce (November 19, 1995). "Accident Brings Curtain Down On Buskers". The New York Times. "Last month's scheduled Broadway opening of "Busker Alley"was canceled after its star, Tommy Tune, broke his foot in Florida, near the end of a five-month, 11-city preview tour....Another casualty is the gigantic dancers with stilt-like legs that LeRoy Neiman painted on the St. James Theater facade. Their days are numbered, now that a replacement show is booked there." (2) "Artist Neiman uses theater as canvas". UPI. (for size)
  • ALT1: ... that a judge forced Broadway's St. James Theatre to show Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas! during a 2007 stagehand strike? Source: Robertson, Campbell (November 22, 2007). "The Broadway Strike, Now Starring the Grinch". The New York Times. "Helen E. Freedman, a judge of the State Supreme Court in Manhattan, did not rule on those points specifically. No, when she granted an injunction yesterday forcing the St. James Theater to open for performances of “Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas! The Musical,” she only made the question of who the Grinch was on Broadway this season that much more complicated."
