Booth Theatre (Broadway) History

Lee Shubert built the Booth Theatre in partnership with the producer Winthrop Ames. Named for the actor Edwin Booth (1833-1893), brother to the infamous John Wilkes Booth, the venue was actually the second New York theatre to bear this name. The first was built by Booth himself in 1869 on 23rd Street and 6th Avenue. Ames's father had been devoted to preserving the actor's legacy, so Winthrop's decision to name this theatre after Booth honored not only the actor, but connected his own family's interest with the actor's rich theatrical history. Ames intended to present the most challenging and prestigious productions possible here. The Booth was designed by Henry Herts to be one of a pair of playhouses: the Booth and the Shubert Theatres abut each other along Shubert Alley in one seamless unit. Styled with "restrained classicism," the Booth is the smaller, less extravagant of the two houses. The sgraffito that adorns the exterior of both theaters is the last known surviving example in New York of this once popular decorating technique. Ames had an extensive knowledge of the architecture and technical advances of contemporary European theatres and modeled his theatre and productions after them.

Shows to have been performed in the Booth Theatre include The Time of Your Life (1939) starring Eddie Dowling, Julie Haydon, Celeste Holm, Charles De Sheim, and Gene Kelly; The Elephant Man (1979) starring Philip Anglim, Carole Shelley, and more; Sunday in the Park with George (1984) starring Mandy Patinkin, Bernadette Peters and more; Once on This Island (1990); Next to Normal (2009) starring Alice Ripley, J. Robert Spencer, Jennifer Damiano, Aaron Tveit, Adam Chanler-Berat, and Louis Hobson; Freestyle Love Supreme (2019) starring Lin-Manuel Miranda, Utkarsh Ambudkar, Chris Jackson, Daveed Diggs, James Monroe Iglehart, Wayne Brady, Ashley Pérez Flanagan, Aneesa Folds and more; plus many more!
