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.
