premise: Bright Lights, Big City is a rock musical with music, lyrics and book written by Scottish composer Paul Scott Goodman based on the 1984 novel by Jay McInerney. It follows a week in the life of Jamie, a successful young writer who loses himself in the chaos of 1980s New York City. The piece premiered Off-Broadway in New York City in 1999 and was revived in a small London production in 2010.
hypothesis: Bright Lights, Big City played in New York in 2000.
reason: It said it premiered in New York in 1999. The statement I gave said it played in NY in 2000. It may very well have been still playing in 2000... the passage didn't say how long it went on for. There is no way to know from the passage whether it was still going in that time.
