Beacon Theatre

The John Golden Theatre is a legitimate Broadway theatre located at 252 West 45th Street in midtown-Manhattan.<br> Designed in a Moorish style along with the adjacent Royale Theatre by architect Herbert J. Krapp for Irwin Chanin, it opened as the Theater Masque on February 24, 1927 with the play Puppets of Passion. Seventy-six years later it would house another production known for its puppets, the award-winning Avenue Q.<br> In 1937, impresario John Golden acquired the theatre and renamed it for himself. It operated as a movie house in the 1940s and '50s before it was purchased by the Shuberts, who returned it to legitimate use.<br> With a seating capacity of only 800, it is one of the smallest houses on Broadway. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org" target="new">Source</a>

Now playing: Evita.<br/> Opened in 1986, the Marquis Theatre is one of the newest theatres to be built on Broadway. Located inside the Marriott Marquis Hotel, it was designed to provide maximum comfort for audiences and actors while conveying a feeling of intimacy. The venue features expansive backstage, high ceilings, state-of-the-art acoustics, wide aisles, comfortable seats, ample restrooms and parking. <br> Since its opening, the theatre has showcased a series of hit musicals including Me and My Girl, Gypsy, Man of La Mancha, The Goodbye Girl, Damn Yankees, Victor/Victoria, Peter Pan, Annie Get Your Gun and Thoroughly Modern Millie.

Where the heart of Times Square pulses with theatrical magic, this sprawling venue transforms into the African plains night after night. Picture yourself settling into one of 1,621 seats as the curtain rises on Disney's adaptation of their beloved 1994 film, complete with Elton John and Tim Rice's Grammy-winning score woven throughout the production. Julie Taymor's visionary direction and design work earned her a Tony, and her imagination practically leaps off the stage—giraffes stride majestically, birds cut through the air, and Pride Rock ascends from the floor as the music swells around you. The story follows young Simba as he grapples with growing up and accepting his place in the circle of life, drawing from African mythology and raw human emotion to create something genuinely fresh for Broadway. When you visit during winter's crisp evenings, there's something particularly enchanting about ducking into this glass-fronted building and escaping into the savanna's warmth and wonder. The modern architecture allows light to pour in from the Great White Way outside, creating an interesting contrast between the bustling city and the wild world unfolding onstage. Six Tony Awards in 1998 recognized it as the year's best new musical, and the production continues to captivate audiences with its blend of elaborate costumes, stunning puppetry, and the kind of theatrical spectacle that doesn't fade with time.

It was built by Abraham L. Erlanger, theatrical producer and a founding member of the Theatrical Syndicate, on the site of the original Sardi's restaurant. It opened in 1927 as The Erlanger. Upon Erlanger's death in 1930, control of the venue was taken over by the Astor family, who owned the land on which the theatre stood. The Astors renamed it the St. James Theatre. <br> The theatre was purchased by the Shuberts in the late 1930s. They were forced to sell it to the William L. McKnight in 1957 following the loss of an antitrust case. McKnight renovated the St. James and reopened it in 1958. In 1970, McKnight then transferred the theatre to his daughter Virginia and her husband James H. Binger, who had formed the Jujamcyn Amusement Corporation. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org" target="new">Source</a>

Wintertime brings a particular magic to catching this production—there's something about stepping into the theater's warmth to witness a story so deeply rooted in New York's gilded past. Catherine Sloper finds herself pulled in opposite directions, her father's cold disapproval clashing with a suitor's fiery devotion, and she's forced to reckon with what matters most when wealth and belonging hang in the balance. Jessica Chastain, in her Broadway introduction, shares the stage with David Strathairn, Dan Stevens, and two-time Tony winner Judith Ivey, all navigating Ruth and Augustus Goetz's exploration of how fortune shapes the heart. Directed by Tony-nominated Moisés Kaufman, this drama examines the messy intersection of duty and longing through a distinctly New York lens. The run is limited to eighteen weeks, making this the right moment to experience it.

The Barrymore Theatre (originally The Eastwood) was built in 1929 as the third movie theater erected in Madison, Wisconsin. It sustained itself as a neighborhood movie theater until the late 70's. The theater was briefly vacant in the early 80's and was renovated into a live events theatre in 1987. That is when it took up it's present name, and began the transformation into what it is today. <a href="http://www.myspace.com/barrymoretheatre" target="new">Source</a>
