Are you dark?

Patrick Healy reports on the traffic jam around Times Square: despite shows closing early, there are few slots available for new productions seeking a Broadway-sized venue (500+ seats). An accompanying infographic plots the locations and capacities of the 40 houses, although the bubbles that represent foot traffic on the various streets don’t really tell the story they were meant to. (The print edition of the graphic uses bubbles to represent the theaters as well: online, the building footprint graphics work better, perhaps because of finer resolution.)
