I don't imagine that theater has a huge backstage with enough room for equipment, staff and 14 girls to perform at the same time. Imagine all song and dance is pre-recorded, only interacting with audience segments have to be live. And even then-
It's just data. They don't have to be there, they can stream it from somewhere else. And if so, why not stream it from japan and their studio specifically build for this.
Probably lag and connection. Safer to do from somewhere near the actual venue.
So, I think the girls WILL be traveling to new york, it's confirmed. Mori said that she asked for bigger hotel room so she could invite others on a whim like "Stream started, I know you're watching and we're in the same place, come hang out." That's just how it is, they have to, live is in NY, so they will be in NY. But the question is, will all of them actually be in the rented studio, performing, or some will just watch the live from hotel room and spend the rest of the time in the big apple like on vacation.
