Theater History

This theater was built from 1902-1903 and was originally operated by Henry B. Harris, who died in the Titanic in 1912. His widow continued to operate the theater until she was forced the sell it in the Depression. It then became a radio studio for CBS, a television studio for NBC, an adult film theater, a movie theater, and a nightclub. It reopened as a Broadway theater in 2017 and is currently operated by Ambassador Theatre Group (ATG). Recent productions include Death of a Salesman, Plaza Suite, American Utopia, Burn This, and Head Over Heels.

CURRENT/UPCOMING SHOW

Once Upon a Mattress

The iconic musical comedy that’s forever woven into the tapestry of theatre history and probably being performed at your local high school right now – is back on Broadway for the first time since 1996. Two-time Tony® winner Sutton Foster stars as Princess Winnifred the Woebegone alongside royalty of stage and screen, Michael Urie. Direct from its sold-out New York City Center Encores! run and newly adapted by Amy Sherman-Palladino (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel), Once Upon a Mattress sets Winnifred, an unapologetic free spirit, loose in a repressed kingdom, where she charms, delights, and dances her way to the top… of a stack of mattresses.
