You would be surprised. For the longest time, the old Woolworth's on 50 th street had the remnants of the old Earl Carroll theater concealed above its ceiling.

That's pretty cool! The Criterion in London is also below street level and opened in 1874.

Not necessarily. The ruins are more than likely remnants of Criterion's predecessors

How depressing that it is now going to be a Gap/Old Navy store. We need more of these don't we? Tsk tsk

It's more likely the remains of Hammerstein's Olympia Theatre that stood on that block and had several theatre spaces within it.
Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop.

What a shame that no longer exists. I bet it looked gorgeous inside at the time.

It's the kind of theatre that has been entirely erased from NYC (or at least Manhattan), in the 19th century style.
