Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre (Broadway) - Theater Information
![]() Marquee | ![]() Stage Door | ||||||
HISTORY: The Shuberts built the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre (formerly the Plymouth) along with the contiguous Broadhurst in 1917. The playhouse was initially leased to producer Arthur M. Hopkins who achieved much success in booking it. It was renamed the Gerald Schoenfeld in 2005 to honor the late chairman of the Shubert Organization.
The Schoenfeld was the architect Herbert Krapp's first independent commission. The interior design motifs, including the Adamsesque detailing, subtly reflect those of the somewhat more ornate Booth and Shubert. Learn More in Theatre Stories | |||||||
