Everything about The Neil Simon Theatre totally explained
The
Neil Simon Theatre is a
Broadway theatre located at 250 West
52nd Street in midtown-
Manhattan.
Designed by
architect Herbert J. Krapp, the theatre was built by producers Alex Aarons and Vinton Freedley, who combined their first names to christen it the
Alvin Theatre. It opened on
November 22 1927 with
George and
Ira Gershwin's
Funny Face starring
Fred and
Adele Astaire.
Due to the
Great Depression, Aarons and Freedley lost control of their venue in 1932. For a period of time it was used as a radio studio by
CBS.
In 1977, the building was purchased by the
Nederlander Organization, and was renamed in honor of
American playwright Simon in 1983 with the opening of
Brighton Beach Memoirs.
The building was designated a
New York City landmark in 1985. At present it has a seating capacity of approximately 1400.
