The story of That Physics
Show: development and ongoing evolution.

During the summer of 2015, I was approached by a Broadway Producer to develop
and star in an off-Broadway production based on my frequent and popular physics
demonstration shows. The show was set in an 80-seat theater right next to Time
Square on 46th street in NYC. It ran from November 4th, 2015, till January 2nd,
2016. As it was frequently sold out, it will now move into an even larger
200-seat Broadway theater, the Elecktra at 43rd and
Broadway, with shows starting on February 26th. This talk will discuss the
details of taking a standard physics demonstration show and transferring it
successfully to Broadway.
