Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre History

The Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre, originally called the Plymouth Theatre, was built in 1917 thanks to the Shubert Family and producer/director Arthur Hopkins. By the time the Plymouth Theatre went up, the Shuberts had succeeded in having a full block of theaters to their credit, with the Plymouth and the Booth on 45th Street and the Broadhurst and the Shubert theaters on 44th Street. The shows that were frequently featured there (particularly in the early years) were considered mainly academic in nature, examples of this being Tolstoy’s Redemption in 1918 and What Price Glory? by Maxwell Anderson and Laurence Stallings in 1924. Nowadays it houses a pretty healthy mix of straight plays and more modest-sized musicals. On May 9, 2005, the Plymouth Theatre was renamed for Shubert Organization chairman Gerald Schoenfeld.

Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre Design

One of the simplest theaters designed by Herbert Krapp, the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre’s exterior is brown, blue, and gold and much like its neighboring theaters was built using less costly materials such as terra cotta and brick. Wheelchair seating and restrooms are available in the Schoenfeld Theatre, with additional restrooms located in the lower lobby.
