Music Box Theatre (New York). This jewel of a playhouse on West 45th Street is ideal in many ways: a size (975 seats) that is both intimate yet financially practical, a location in the heart of the theatre district, and a timeless decor with a high loggia, Palladian windows, and a limestone facade. It was designed by C. Howard Crane and named by Irving
Berlin who built it with his partner Sam
Harris in 1921. The theatre opened with the first of a series of clever musical shows called the
Music Box Revues and throughout its history the playhouse would find success with both plays and smaller musicals. Hits such as
Of Thee I Sing (1931),
Dinner at Eight (1932),
As Thousands Cheer (1933), and
Stage Door (1936) kept the playhouse solvent during the Great Depression, and it continues to be a “lucky” house for most tenants. The Music Box is co‐owned by the
Shuberts and the Berlin estate.
