Hm, the problem may then become changing from an L1 to whatever the dependent visa for an O visa is. Changing visa types after you arrive always seems to lead to questions and delays.

According to the Consulate website, the O visa is for "Persons of sustained national or international acclaim in the sciences, arts, education, business or athletics, coming to the US to work or perform in their field of achievement."

If the show closes, the O visa might expire, too.
Cheers,
Bev
