Roundabout's flagship home on Broadway, the Todd Haimes Theatre first opened its doors as the Selwyn Theatre in 1918. In 2000, Roundabout restored the theatre to its original neo-renaissance style as part of the 42nd Street Development Project, thanks to generous support from the City of New York. Through an unprecedented partnership between Roundabout and American Airlines, this historic theatre became one of Broadway's most exquisite and patron-friendly houses.
The theatre originally had 1,180 seats (it now seats 740) and featured separate smoking rooms for men and women, plus other novel features, including dressing rooms equipped with a shower and phone. After housing well-known plays and musicals in the early 1900s, the theatre was eventually converted to a cinema, and operated on and off as both a movie theater and legitimate theatre for decades, housing productions such as Wake Up and Dream (1929), Three's a Crowd (1930) and more. In 1992, the Selwyn fell under the protection of the New 42nd Street organization, and it wasn't until 1997 that The Roundabout Theatre Company committed to renovating it. They renamed it the American Airlines Theatre for its main sponsor, and the theatre reopened in 2000 with a production of The Man Who Came to Dinner starring Nathan Lane.
The American Airlines Theatre was officially renamed the Todd Haimes Theatre on February 1st, 2024, in honor of Roundabout Theatre Company's artistic director and chief executive of four decades, who passed away on April 19, 2023 due to complications from cancer.
