When I was in New York recently, at The Times Center to see Stephen Colbert, I realized that the auditorium, which seats 370, is the size I’ve always imagined the stage to be when The Beatles played on The Ed Sullivan Show. The Ed Sullivan Theater, now home to The Late Show with David Letterman (now in re-runs during the writers’ strike), supposedly holds 400, but every time I see a view of it the place looks a lot smaller than that, as seen in this picture.
There’s something else I’d like to point out about this photo, but I won’t say yet what that is. When the time comes I will tell you.
