Studio 54 (Broadway) History
Studio 54 was originally built as the Gallo Opera House in 1927 and transformed into the New Yorker Theatre in 1930. CBS purchased the space in 1942 and made it the home of renowned television shows like "The Johnny Carson Show." CBS sold the space in the late 1970s, and the new owners transformed the space into the most legendary nightclub of the disco-era, Studio 54. The club closed in 1986 and became a venue for rock concerts until it eventually closed completely in the late 1980s. The space remained vacant until 1998, when Roundabout moved its landmark production of Cabaret into the neglected theatre-turned-studio-turned-nightclub. Today, Studio 54 is a permanent home for Roundabout Theatre Company.
Cabaret is Studio 54's longest running production, running from early 1998 to January 2004 for a total of 2,377 performances. Cabaret is Studio 54's longest running production and the third longest-running revival in Broadway musical history. The production starred Alan Cumming as the Emcee, opposite Natasha Richardson as Sally, John Benjamin Hickey as Cliff, Ron Rifkin as Herr Schultz, Denis O'Hare as Ernst Ludwig, Michele Pawk as Fräulein Kost, and Mary Louise Wilson as Fräulein Schneider, and many more. Cabaret won four Tony Awards, Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Musical for Cumming, Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Musical Richardson, and Best Performance by a Featured Actor in a Musical Rifkin, as well as the Tony for Best Revival of a Musical.
