Eugene O'Neill Theatre (Broadway) History

The Eugene O'Neill Theatre was built in 1925 and designed by architect Herbert J. Krapp, who designed nearly half of the current Broadway theatres, including the Lyceum, Shubert, Booth, New Amsterdam and Longacre Theatres. Originally named the Forrest Theatre, after Edwin Forrest, the first American-Born Broadway star, the theatre was the first to combine a theatre with a hotel, and was the first to use steel frame construction, which had only previously been used for skyscrapers. The theatre was renamed the Coronet Theatre in 1945, and in 1953 was renamed again after Eugene O'Neill! It was the first theater to be named after a playwright.

Neil Simon purchased the theatre from Broadway producer Lester Osterman in the 1960s and presented some of his best known plays there! The Neil Simon plays that were produced at the theatre include The Odd Couple in 1966, Last of the Red Hot Lovers in 1969, The Good Doctor in 1973, God's Favorite in 1974, California Suite in 1976, Chapter Two in 1979, and I Ought to Be in Pictures in 1980. Simon sold the theatre to Jujamcyn Theaters in 1982.

The Eugene O'Neill Theatre boasts an impressive list of plays and musicals that have graced its stage! All My Sons opened at the theatre in 1947; The Children's Hour in 1952; A View From the Bridge in 1955; She Loves Me in 1963; The Odd Couple in 1966; Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead in 1968; California Suite in 1976; Annie in 1981, Caroline, Or Change in 2004; Spring Awakening in 2006; The Book of Mormon in 2011 and many more!
