Best Answer

It gave the King's Men a place to perform in the winter. It allowed for performances year round: at the Globe in Summer, at Blackfriars during what had previously been the off season. The playhouse brought in twice as much as the Globe, due to higher admission, even though it was smaller and had to be heated and artificially lighted. The space was more intimate, and allowed for sound, music, and lighting effects that were more difficult, if not impossible at the Globe.
