Thank you.
Does "stage" here refer to "a large platform on which people can stand and can be seen by an audience"?

NL888Does "stage" here refer to "a large platform on which people can stand and can be seen by an audience"?It's interesting I can't find the word "Broadway" in the article but in your quote above I see it. Perhaps they changed the article.
"Broadway" is known for literal stages, such as you described. These are glamorous tourist attractions.
