|
The Live Entertainment Corporation of Canada, better known as Livent, was a theatre production
|
37_1
|
company based in Toronto, Ontario. Founded in 1989 by former Cineplex Odeon executives Garth
|
37_2
|
Drabinsky and Myron Gottlieb, the company initially found success with its production of The
|
37_3
|
Phantom of the Opera at its Pantages Theatre in Toronto. In 1993, they brought Kiss of the Spider
|
37_4
|
Woman to Broadway, winning the Tony Award for Best Musical. They became known for lavish
|
37_5
|
productions with their 1994 revival of Show Boat (estimated to be the most expensive production in
|
37_6
|
Broadway history at the time), and their ambitious 1998 original musical Ragtime.
|
37_7
|
In 1998, Livent announced the discovery of "accounting irregularities". Revised financial
|
37_8
|
statements showed previously undisclosed losses, and the company filed for bankruptcy protection.
|
37_9
|
As a result, the company's stock price plummeted, and its assets were eventually sold off in 1999.
|
37_10
|
The company's collapse led to criminal and civil litigation. An Ontario court found that Drabinsky
|
37_11
|
and Gottlieb had systematically doctored Livent's financial statements, and sentenced them to jail
|
37_12
|
terms of several years for fraud and forgery.
|
37_13
|
At its height, Livent was the largest live theatre company in North America, and was the first
|
37_14
|
publicly traded company dedicated to live theatre. Livent used Toronto as a testing ground for its
|
37_15
|
pre-Broadway tryouts and has been credited (along with its competitor, Mirvish Productions) with
|
37_16
|
elevating Toronto to the second-most important destination for live theatre in North America, and
|
37_17
|
bringing hundreds of millions of dollars of tourism income to the city.
|
37_18
|
Formation
|
37_19
|
The company was founded in 1989 by Garth Drabinsky and Myron Gottlieb, former chairman and vice
|
37_20
|
chairman, respectively, of Cineplex Odeon Corporation. Following an internal struggle within the
|
37_21
|
company, the Drabinsky and Gottlieb purchased its live entertainment division for Can$88 million
|
37_22
|
CAD (borrowing $65m to fund the purchase), spawning an independent business, Live Entertainment of
|
37_23
|
Canada Inc. The name, later shortened to Livent Inc., was originally intended as a placeholder
|
37_24
|
(based on the fact that the company was formed from the live entertainment division of Cineplex
|
37_25
|
Odeon), but Drabinsky and Gottlieb ultimately kept it. With the purchase they acquired the Pantages
|
37_26
|
Theatre in Toronto (now known as the Ed Mirvish Theatre) and the Canadian rights to the popular
|
37_27
|
musical The Phantom of the Opera.
|
37_28
|
Livent became a publicly traded company in May 1993 with a stock offering that raised $40 million.
|
37_29
|
This made it the first publicly traded company whose primary business was live theatre.
|
37_30
|
Business endeavours
|
37_31
|
Livent pursued a three-pronged business model which Drabinsky referred to as 'reproduction,
|
37_32
|
restoration, and origination':
|
37_33
|
Reproduction Acquiring the rights to stage successful current musicals in other markets. Examples
|
37_34
|
included the Toronto production of Phantom of the Opera, and touring productions of Phantom and
|
37_35
|
Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
|
37_36
|
Restoration Staging revivals of classic shows such as Show Boat
|
37_37
|
Origination Funding new shows such as the musicals Kiss of the Spider Woman and Ragtime, and the
|
37_38
|
play Barrymore
|
37_39
|
In addition, Livent acquired several theatres, beginning in Toronto and expanding to Vancouver,
|
37_40
|
Chicago, and, most notably, the Ford Center for the Performing Arts in New York City, the result of
|
37_41
|
an ambitious 1998 project to construct a large new theatre to house the Ragtime on Broadway.

Spending and accounting practices
|
37_43
|
Livent became known for its lavish and ambitious productions. Their 1994 revival of Show Boat was
|
37_44
|
speculated to be, at the time, the most expensive production ever on Broadway, with an investment
|
37_45
|
of over US$10 million and ongoing costs of $600,000 per week (a more typical cost for a Broadway
|
37_46
|
revival at the time was around $3 million). Show Boat also became the most expensive show to see on
|
37_47
|
Broadway, with standard orchestra tickets priced at $75 (a price point that other shows eventually
|
37_48
|
followed). Livent was noted for "unprecedented ad blitzes", including frequent full-page ads in the
