Music Box Theatre (Broadway) History

Toward the close of 1919, the prominent theatrical producer Sam H. Harris made a proposition to his friend Irving Berlin: if the popular songwriter would devise a musical revue, Harris would find a theatre for it. Berlin responded with The Music Box Revue and in 1920 the Music Box Theatre was built to house the show. The Shuberts began acquiring shares of the venue from Harris in the 1920s. When Harris died in 1941, his wife sold half the shares in the theatre to the Shuberts, and half to Berlin. From that point on, Berlin and Shubert became equal partners in the ownership of the house. In 2007, the Berlin share of the theatre was sold to Shubert, now the sole owner of the theatre. Because of its dainty, jewel-like qualities, the Music Box Theatre is aptly named. Designed by architect Charles Howard Crane in collaboration with E. George Kiehler, it was built in the neo-Georgian style, more in the manner of a dignified manor or country home than in the typical theatrical style of most other Broadway playhouses.

The theatre housed only musicals until 1925 when it presented its first play - Cradle Snatchers, starring Humphrey Bogart. In 1926, the Maurine Dallas Watkins play 'Chicago', which the musical was based off of, opened at the theatre. The Music Box Theatre then presented a series of hits by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart from Once in a Lifetime to The Man Who Came to Dinner.

Many shows from the Music Box Theatre have also had well-known film adaptations! Les Liaisons dangereuses (on Broadway in 1987) was adapted for the screen multiple times including a Dangerous Liaisons (1988) starring Glenn Close, Keanu Reeves and Uma Thurman, and Cruel Intentions (1999) starring Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Philippe, and Reese Witherspoon. A Few Good Men (on Broadway in 1989) was adapted for the screen in 1992 featuring Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson, and Demi Moore. August: Osage County (on Broadway in 2008) was adapted for the screen in 2013. And most recently Dear Evan Hansen (now at the Music Box Theatre) was adapted for the screen in 2021.
