Garden Theatre
About Garden Theatre
The Winter Garden Theatre is a Broadway theatre at 1634 Broadway in the Midtown Manhattan neighborhood of New York City, U.S. Originally designed by architect William Albert Swasey, it opened in 1911. The Winter Garden's current design dates to 1922, when it was completely remodeled by Herbert J. Krapp. Due to the size of its auditorium, stage, and backstage facilities, it is favored for large musical productions. It has 1,600 seats and is operated by The Shubert Organization. The auditorium interior is a New York City landmark.
On the show
Constantly we're doing it, tearing theatres apart. I don't know how many theatres are still standing. I think one of the most famous theatre riots was in 1809 and that was the Covent Garden Theatre riots. Basically, the Covent Garden Theatre had been burned down and they thought, well, use this as an excuse to rebuild it and put up prices. They also rebuilt it so that if you were in the upper tiers, you could only see the legs of the people on stage.
