37_0 | 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. |
37_42 | 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 |
