Walter Kerr Theatre (Broadway) History

The Walter Kerr Theatre was built in 1921, and was designed by none other than Herbert J. Krapp, who also designed the Ambassador Theatre, Brooks Atkinson Theatre, Ethel Barrymore Theatre, Biltmore Theatre, Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre, Broadhurst Theatre and more. Originally called the Ritz Theatre, it was operated as a radio station and television studio from 1943 to 1965. Between 1956 to 1965, the theatre bounced between owners before falling into disuse from 1965 to 1971. It reopened with the musical Soon, featuring a book by Martin Duberman, which closed after three performances. In 1973, the theatre became a children's theater named for Robert F. Kennedy, before being acquired by Jujamcyn Theaters in 1980. In 1990 the theatre was restored and named after theater critic Walter Kerr.
