• The Notebook

  The New Musical Based on the Bestselling Novel by Nicholas Sparks That Inspired the Film.

The Shuberts constructed the Gerald Schoenfeld (originally named the Plymouth) in 1917 along with the adjoining Broadhurst.  It was architect Herbert Krapp’s first independent design contract.  The venue was originally rented out to producer Arthur M. Hopkins.  It opened with a production of Sweet Calamity followed by three Ibsen plays:  The Wild Duck (1918), Hedda Gabler (1918), and A Doll’s House (1918).

Hopkins produced What Price Glory? in 1924, noteworthy for its unflinchingly realistic representation of soldiers at war.  Other successful productions include Rachel Crother’s Susan and God (starring Gertrude Lawrence), Thornton Wilder’s Pulitzer Prize-winning The Skin of Our Teeth (with Tallulah Bankhead), The Happy Time (starring Eva Gabor), The Odd Couple (with Art Carney and Walter Matthau), Peter Schaffer’s Equus (starring Anthony Hopkins), Wendy Wasserstein’s Pulitzer Prize-winning The Heidi Chronicles (with Joan Allen), and Frank Wildhorn’s Jekyll and Hyde.  In 2005, it was renamed the Gerald Schoenfeld in honor of the former chairman of the Shubert Organization.  The interior design themes and the Adamesque decorating faintly replicate the Booth’s and Shubert’s slightly more elaborate themes.

In 1927, it opened as the Erlanger Theatre with a production of Merry Malones.  In 1930, Erlanger died and the theatre was taken over by the Astor family as they owned the land on which the theatre was built.  They renamed it the St. James.  In the 1930s, the Shuberts purchased the theatre.  In 1957, they involuntarily sold it to William L.  McKnight after they lost an antitrust case.  In 1958, McKnight renovated and reopened the venue.  In 1970, McKnight passed the theatre on to his daughter Virginia and her husband James H. Binger, who had founded the Jujamcyn Theaters.

• Tammy Faye

  The story of a traveling preacher’s wife who beamed into homes with a message of hope… and stole the country’s heart.

The Palace Theatre opened in 1913 and until the 1930s it was the most prestigious vaudeville theatre in the country.  This venue has housed numerous famous performers including Will Rogers, Ethel Merman, Judy Garland, Jerry Lewis, Bette Midler, and Diana Ross.  The Nederlanders converted it into a legitimate theatre in 1965 for the opening of the musical Sweet Charity by Neil Simon, Cy Coleman, and Dorothy Fields and starring Gwen Verdon.  In the 1970s, the Palace housed the musical hit Applause by Betty Comden and Adolph Green (with Lauren Bacall).  The musical successfully ran here for eighteen months.  Two successful productions of the 1980s were the Jerry Herman and Harvey Fierstein musical La Cage aux Folles (with George Hearn and Gene Barry) and the musical The Woman of the Year.  In 1994, the theatre housed Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, which was followed by their musical Aida.  The Palace Theatre is one of the Nederlander Organization’s nine Broadway theatres.

• Aladdin

  Disney’s animated film Aladdin (1992) is now a new musical. The magic of Aladdin, including the wonderful music by Alan Menken, which was written for the movie, takes the Broadway stage at the New Amsterdam Theatre. The book by Chad Beguelin (Elf, The Wedding Singer) is filled with adventure, action, romance, and humor. Aladdin offers families fantastic Broadway entertainment on every level.

The New Amsterdam Theatre was built in 1903 by A.L. Erlanger and Marcus Claw.  Architects Herts and Tallant designed the venue in the Art Nouveau style.  It is the oldest surviving Broadway theatre along with the Lyceum Theatre.  The theatre opened in November 1903 with Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream.  It housed the Ziegfeld Follies for many years and its sister show, The Midnight Frolics, played in the venue’s roof garden theatre.  In 1936 after the Great Depression, the theatre closed.  In 1937, it reopened on a limited basis, but eventually it was altered to become a movie theatre.  In 1982, the Nederlander Organization bought the venue, but they would not begin restoration for another eight years.  In 1990, the State and City of New York took up ownership of the New Amsterdam and many other theatres on 42nd Street.  In 1993, Disney Theatrical Productions signed a 99 year lease for the venue.  The theatre was in total disrepair and it would take a million dollars and a few years to restore it.  The roof garden did not reopen because it could not be brought up to modern building codes.  On April 2, 1997, the New Amsterdam officially reopened.

• Tommy

  The Who’s fourth released album about a deft, dumb, and blind kid Tommy returns to Broadway in an all-new production this spring.

 
The Nederlander was constructed in 1921 and has been known throughout the years by various names. First it was named the National, then it became the Billy Rose, named in 1959 after the famous producer/songwriter who bought it, and in 1979 it became the Trafalgar when James and Joseph Nederlander and the British firm of Cooney-Marsh bought it.  Today, the David T. Nederlander Theatre stands in honor of the Nederlander Family.  Some of the most famous plays have been housed here including Private Lives, King Lear, Cyrano de Bergerac, Julius Caesar, and Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf.  One of its most notable productions was Lena Home:  The Lady and Her Music, for which she won a special Tony Award.  It also housed the musical Rent.  For Rent, the theatre’s exterior and interior was decorated to look like a downtown nightclub in order to embrace the atmosphere of the East Village as depicted in the play.

• Suffs

  Following a sold-out, extended run at The Public Theater, Suffs arrives on Broadway — and not a moment too soon. From the singular mind of Shaina Taub, this “remarkable, epic new musical” (Variety), boldly explores the victories and failures of a struggle for equality that’s far from over.

The Music Box Theatre was constructed because of an offer Sam H. Harris, a well-known producer, made to his friend Irving Berlin in 1919.  Harris proposed that if the songwriter would create a musical revue, he would find a venue for it.  Berlin wrote The Music Box Revue and the Music Box was constructed to house the show in 1920.  For each of the next four years, Berlin wrote a completely new version of the show.  Designed by Charles Howard Crane and E. George Kiehler, the theatre has delicate, jewel-like qualities.  It was constructed in the Neo-Georgian style, more in the style of a country home than a standard theatrical style.  In the 1920s, the Shuberts began obtaining shares of the theatre from Harris.  In 1941, Harris died and his wife sold half the shares in the theatre to the Shuberts, and half to Berlin.  Berlin and Shubert obtained equal ownership of the theatre from that point on.  Berlin sold his share of the theatre to the Shuberts in 2007.

It is then that Simba must learn to survive, grow up and eventually reclaim his thrown.

The Minskoff Theatre opened on March 13, 1973, and was named after one of New York’s well-known real estate families, Sam Minskoff and Sons.  It opened with a revival of the musical Irene starring Debbie Reynolds and Patsy Kelly.  Architect Mariuca Brancoveanu designed a dramatic new setting for the venue.  It begins with a carpet walkway into the theatre, and the main lobby area displays hand-painted, gold-leaf sculpted pictures that decorate the theatre’s massive interior walls.  The Minskoff is one of The Nederlander Organization’s nine Broadway theatres.  Most recently the venue has housed Saturday Night Fever, Sunset Boulevard, Metro, the long-running revue Black and Blue (winner of three Tonys), The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, The Scarlet Pimpernel, the revival of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, and Peter Pan with Cathy Rigby.  Over 200 artists worked almost six months to renovate the theatre for Disney’s The Lion King, which opened in 2006 and as of 2012 is still running.

The Marquis Theatre, Broadway’s newest legitimate theatre, opened on August 10, 1986, and is located in the Marriot Marquis Hotel.  It was designed to provide maximum comfort for the audience and actors in an intimate setting.  The theatre presents high ceilings, wide aisles, plenty of restrooms and parking, a spacious backstage, up-to-date acoustics, and comfortable seating.  The venue’s opening production was the successful musical Me and My Girl, which ran for 1,420 performances.  Since its opening, the theatre has housed numerous successful musicals including Gypsy (starring Tyne Daly), The Goodbye Girl (starring Bernadette Peters and Martin Short), the long-running Victor/Victoria (with Julie Andrews), Annie Get Your Gun, Man of La Mancha (starring Raul Julia and Sheena Easton), Damn Yankees (with Bebe Neuwirth, Victor Garber, and Jarrod Emick), Peter Pan, and Thoroughly Modern Millie.  The Marquis is one of The Nederlander Organization’s nine Broadway houses.

The Chanin Brothers constructed the Majestic Theatre in 1927 as part of a three-theatre facility that also included the Royale and the Theatre Masque (now the John Golden).  The Majestic is a large musical house, and it supplemented the other two theatres, allowing producers to move shows based on ticket sales to the most appropriately-sized theatre.  Herbert J. Krapp designed the theatre facility in what he called a “modern Spanish style.”  The Majestic’s exterior above the entrance also features a stylized Palladian theme.  The interior displays the usual Adam-style featured in many Shubert venues.  Krapp formulated a stadium seating model for the theatre’s orchestra (decades before today’s trend for stadium seating in movie theatres).  With its steep rake, the audience’s sight lines are perfect.  He also thought forward in his design and created a single large balcony instead of two smaller ones.  Today, second-balcony seating is less pleasing so producers are hesitant to book these venues.  In 1927, the Majestic’s opening production was a revue entitled Rufus Lemaire’s Affairs.  The Shuberts obtained ownership of all three theatres in 1930.

• My Son’s a Queer (But What Can Yo Do?)

  Writer and performer Rob Madge’s hilarious, poignant, and infectiously joyous solo show arrives on Broadway from a smash-hit run in London’s West End.

The Lyceum Theatre was constructed by producer-manager David Frohman in 1903 and is Broadway’s oldest consistently operating legitimate theatre.  Its opening production was The Proud Prince.  The theatre was designed by architects Hert and Tallant in the Beaux Arts style.  When it opened the building presented a high-tech ventilation system, as air was passed over either ice chambers or steam coils on its way into the theatre, the auditorium was maintained cool in the summer and retained heat in the winter.  Frohman built an apartment for himself above the theatre which included a small door that offered a view of the stage below.  There is a legend that Frohman waved a white handkerchief out the door to tell his wife, actress Margaret Illington, that she was overacting.  In 1940 the theatre was obtained by a company of producers which included George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart.  The Shuberts took over in 1950 and have been operating it ever since.  This theatre currently houses the Shubert Archive.

• Sweeney Todd

  Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler’s landmark musical tells the tale of a resourceful pie shop owner and a vengeful barber out for blood. After he’s sent away by a corrupt judge, Sweeney returns to London years later seeking his long-lost family and forms an unlikely partnership with Mrs. Lovett, who serves up pies underneath his former shop. Together, they wreak havoc on Fleet Street and serve up the hottest – and most unsettling – pies in London.

The Lunt-Fontanne Theatre opened in 1910 and was originally named The Globe, after Shakespeare’s theatre in England.  The theatre was designed with a retractable roof to allow the theatre to remain open and stay cool during the summer months.  In the early years of this venue, the comedy team of Dave Montgomery and Fred Stone starred in many famous musicals, including The Old Town and Chin-Chin.  The theatre housed various plays and musicals until it was turned into a movie house in 1932.  In 1958, the venue was ransacked and reconstructed as a legitimate theatre.  It was renamed in honor of Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne, America’s leading husband/wife acting couple. The couple starred in the newly named theatre’s first production, The Visit.  The Lunt-Fontanne is one of The Nederlander Organization’s nine Broadway theatres.

From the Tony Award®-winning director of HADESTOWN and starring Eden Espinosa, this New York Times Critic’s Pick is a sweeping musical portrait of a woman who changed art and culture forever.

The Longacre Theatre was constructed by producer/manager H.H. Frazee (the owner of the Boston Red Sox who sold Babe Ruth to the Yankees).  He named the theatre after Longacre Square, which is now known as Times Square.  Frazee’s notable productions at the Longacre include Kick In (1914), with John Barrymore and Katherine Harris, A Pair of Sixes (1914), and Nothing but the Truth (1916), with William Collier.  The theatre was designed by Henry B. Herts.  The exterior features a French Neo-classical-style and the interior displays a Beaux Arts-style.  Frazee was struggling financially and eventually had to give up the venue.  In 1919, the theatre fell under the management of Astor Theatre Incorporated, a Shubert affiliate.  From 1943 to 1953, the venue was rented out to WOR as a radio and television studio.  From 2007-2008, architect Michael Kostow had the theatre restored, which was a multimillion dollar project.

The Walter Kerr Theatre was designed by Herbert J. Krapp and built by the Shubert family in 1921 as the Ritz Theatre.  Between 1943 and 1965, ABC used the venue as a radio and television studio.  Between 1965 and 1971, the venue remained dormant.  In 1971, the theatre reopened with the musical Soon which closed after three performances.  The Ritz housed numerous productions over the next two years, but then it remained dark from 1973 to 1983.  The last production to be performed at the Ritz was Chu Chem.  After it closed, the Jujamcyn Organization hired EverGreene Architectural Arts to restore the theatre’s interior.  The theatre reopened in 1990 with August Wilson’s The Piano Lesson.  The venue was renamed the Walter Kerr Theatre in honor of the theatre critic.  Since 1990, the Walter Kerr has housed six Tony Award winners for Best Play, including the revolutionary show Angels in America.

The John Golden Theatre was originally constructed in 1927 as the Theatre Masque by the Chanin Brothers.  It was part of a facility that included the Royale and the Majestic.  The Theatre Masque was the most intimate of the three theatres and was created for serious dramas.  Designed by Herbert J. Krapp, the interior has a Spanish influence.  The venue’s first production, which was Puppets of Passion by Rosso di San Secondo, opened on February 4, 1927 but was not successful.  The Shuberts obtained ownership in 1930.  John Golden took on management in 1937 and renamed it after himself.  In 1946, the Shuberts regained ownership, turning it into a film house for two years.  In the late 1940s, it was renovated to house theatrical performances.  In 2003, it housed another puppet production, the award-winning Avenue Q.  The exterior of the theatre was used as the location of the movie version of A Chorus Line.  It is also featured in the classic Betty Davis film All About Eve.

The James Earl Jones Theater is the only existing and functioning legitimate theatre designed by Thomas Lamb.  Lamb’s exterior design was inspired by the 18^th century French Petit Trianon at Versailles and his interior design by the architecture from the period of Louis XVI.  The stage’s arch is comprised of perforated plaster treated with art glass, and was designed to be lit during productions.  The arch still remains, but it cannot be lit.  The Cort Theatre was constructed and named for John Cort, general manager of the Northwestern Theatrical Association.  He resigned as a performer with a vaudeville comedy team called Cort and Murphy to work in management in the 1890s.  The first production at the Cort was Peg o’ My Heart starring Laurette Taylor and directed by Oliver Morosco in 1912.  John Cort’s first production at the venue was The Princess Pat, an operetta, in 1915.  In 1927, the Shuberts obtained ownership of the theatre.

The original Circle in the Square was founded in Greenwich Village in 1951, and it did not have a theatre license.

The original Circle in the Square was founded by Paul Libin, Theodore Mann, and Jose Quintero in 1951 and was located in Greenwich Village.  They did not have a theatre license, but Quintero was able to get a cabaret license which meant the production crew and actors could also serve as waiters.  The current theatre was constructed in 1972 and set into the base of the Uris Building, on the former site of the Capitol Theatre. It serves as the home to Circle in the Square Theatre Company.  Their first production on Broadway, a revival of Mourning Becomes Electra, opened on November 15, 1972.    The theatre was designed by Alan Sayles, and it is one of the few Broadway houses to be designed “in the round.”  Although not artistically striking, the lobby and the auditorium are clean and modern, and there are numerous historical photographs of the theatre’s production history decorating the building.  The building also houses Circle in the Square Theatre School.

• The Great Gatsby

  Transport yourself to the opulent world of the 1920s as one of the greatest American novels hits the greatest American stage. Starring Jeremy Jordan (Newsies) as the eccentric and mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby and Eva Noblezada (Hadestown) as the enigmatic Daisy Buchanan.

The Broadway Theatre opened in 1924 as B.S. Moss’s Colony, a premiere film house.  B.S. Moss hired architect Eugene DeRosa to design the building as part of his movie theatre chain, many of which also housed vaudeville.  Since the theatre was so large, the space was perfect for musical comedies.  The stage was originally built to fit an orchestra to accompany silent films.  The original theatre design was constructed in the Italian Renaissance style, and then it reemerged in polished granite in 1991 when a skyscraper was built above the theatre.  The most noteworthy film that played there was Walt Disney’s Steamboat Willie which opened in 1928.  The theatre began showing theatrical productions from 1930 to 1934, and it was renamed the Broadway.  The theatre was once again dedicated to playing films from 1934 to 1940, and showed the premiere of Disney’s Fantasia in 1939.  It returned to “legitimate” theatre in 1940, and although it briefly became a Cinerama movie theatre in the 1950s, it has remained dedicated to theatrical productions ever since.  The New Yorkers by Cole Porter and Herbert Fields and with Jimmy Durante was the opening production at the Broadway in 1930.

The New Yorkers,  by Cole Porter and Herbert Fields, was the first theatrical production to be performed at the Broadway in 1930.

The Belasco Theatre was opened by David Belasco on October 16, 1907 as the Stuyvesant Theatre.  He had already bestowed his name on his 42^nd Street playhouse (currently known as the New Victory), but when he resigned from that theatre in 1910, he renamed the Stuyvesant the Belasco.  Belasco envisioned the auditorium as a living room because he believed that the dramatic experience depended partly on how close the audience was to the actors.  George Keister was hired to design the theatre, and Everett Shinn was hired to create murals and the interior decoration.  To supplement Belasco’s intimate “living room” vision, Keister chose a neo-Georgian style.  The Belasco set the technological standard for theatre design with its freight elevator connecting the stage with its basement shops.  The Belasco’s first production was A Grand Army Man in 1907 with Antoinette Perry.  The Belasco was renovated in 2010.

The Vivian Beaumont Theatre opened on October 21, 1965.  It was designed by the famous architect Eero Saarinen and named in honor of Vivian Beaumont Allen, a renowned New York philanthropist.  The Beaumont was originally the home of The Repertory Theater of Lincoln Center, which closed in 1973.  Joseph Papp’s New York Shakespeare Festival was in residence at the Beaumont from 1973 to 1977.  From 1978 to 1985, the Beaumont remained unused when it was not being rented out to outside producers.  A new resident company was created in 1979, but it only staged one season in 1980-1981.  The Beaumont’s current management (Lincoln Center Theatre) was founded in 1985.  The Lincoln Center Theatre has become America’s largest non-profit theatre.  It produces plays and musicals all year at the Beaumont and at numerous other NYC theatres.

The Ethel Barrymore Theatre is the last theatre Lee and J.J. Shubert constructed, and it is the only surviving theatre that the Shuberts built for performers who were associated with them.  Designed by Herbert J. Krapp for renowned actress Ethel Barrymore (extremely popular in New York and London), the theatre opened on December 20, 1928.  The outside was fashioned on the design of public baths in Rome.  The interior design combines Elizabethan, Mediterranean, and Adamsesque styles.  Barrymore’s debut at her theatre was in The Kingdom of God in December 1928.  Over the next twelve years she starred in The Love Duel (1929), Scarlett Sister Mary (1930), and The School for Scandal (1931).  Her final performance at her theatre was An International Incident in 1940.  Unlike many of the older theatres that have been used for various purposes, the Barrymore Theatre has consistently housed theatrical productions.

Originally built as the Mansfield Theatre by the Chanin brothers, the Brooks Atkinson Theatre opened on February 15, 1926.  It was designed by architect Herbert J. Krapp.  It was abandoned after 1933 until Michael Myerberg bought it in 1945 and rented it to CBS for television productions.  Known as CBS Studio 59, the theatre hosted the panel shows I’ve Got a Secret and What’s My Line?  It was renamed in 1960 in honor of the New York Times drama critic Brooks Atkinson and was once again utilized for theatrical productions.  The theatre was redecorated in 2000 by EverGreene Architectural Arts and is once again lit up by the original chandelier that was removed over 40 years ago.  The Brooks Atkinson is one of the Nederlander Organization’s nine Broadway theatres.  Its capacity is 1,051.

The Todd Haimes Theatre was designed by George Keister and built by the Selwyn brothers, Edgar and Archie, in 1918.  Originally named the Selwyn Theatre, the theatre is a historic Italian Renaissance style Broadway venue.  When built, its most unique feature was separate smoking rooms for men and women.  Also, there was a shower and a telephone in each dressing room.  It was originally used for musicals and other theatrical performances, including Cole Porter’s Wake Up and Dream and Three’s a Crowd with Clifton Webb, but it was eventually used as a movie theatre.  In the early 1990s, it was a visitor’s center and it featured a limited-run production of Eugene O’ Neill’s The Hairy Ape. Then it stood unused for years until the space was renovated in 1997 by The Roundabout Theatre Company.  It was renamed The American Airlines Theatre in honor of its major sponsor, and reopened on June 30, 2000.  The theatre originally had 1,180 seats, and now has only 740 seats.  It currently serves as the home of the Roundabout.  It was renamed The Todd Haimes Theatre on February 1st, 2024.

• Chicago

  If there’s ever a show that always seems to be ripe for a revival, it’s the musical Chicago. And why wouldn’t it be immensely popular? Along with offering audiences strikingly theatrical music and lyrics, the emotional rollercoaster, Chicago is dark, satirical and at times amazingly cold-hearted. Then again, the story of a married woman who murders her lover in order to help her career would have to have all of these elements and more. Chicago is one of the finest shows ever written for the legitimate ...

The Ambassador Theatre was designed for the Shuberts by architect Herbert J. Krapp and opened on February 11, 1921, with the musical The Rose Girl.  To fit the maximum number of seats possible, the theatre is positioned diagonally on its site.  As a result, stage-wing space is minimal.  In 1935, the Shuberts sold the theatre, and it was converted into a movie theatre, serving in that capacity for the next twenty years.  NBC and the DuMont Television Network then utilized the space as a television studio.  In 1956, the Shuberts regained ownership and since that time the theatre has only housed theatrical productions.  Despite its simple external appearance, the layout inside is uniquely hexagonal.  Krapp designed the interior more ornately, using Adam-style plasterwork which was one of his favorite design themes.  It’s capacity is 1,088.
