NYFE Summary
The Chanin brothers created this large musical house as part of a complex with two smaller theaters. Producers could move shows among venues of different sizes as ticket sales changed. Carousel, South Pacific, The Music Man and Camelot all played here.
The auditorium has one large balcony and a steeply sloping orchestra floor. From the street, look above the entrance for arched window surrounds, patterned brickwork and terra-cotta decoration.
