Best Answer

It was very popular. They could squeeze in almost 3000 people and it played to near capacity all week. The rival company built The Fortune theatre in an attempt to rival it. It was only torn down when it was made illegal to put on plays (in 1642, 28 years after it was rebuilt and 43 after it was built the first time).
