Music Box, New York, on West 45th Street between Broadway and 8th Avenue. Built by Irving
Berlin and Sam H. Harris (see
SAM H. HARRIS THEATRE) and seating 1,010, this theatre opened in 1921 with the
Music Box Revue which ran into four editions. After a further series of revues came
Kaufman and Hart's
Once in a Lifetime (1930) and
Of Thee I Sing (1931), a collaboration between Kaufman and Morris Ryskind. Other successes were Kaufman and Ferber's
Dinner at Eight (1932),
Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men (1937),
The Man Who Came to Dinner (1939), again by Kaufman and Hart, and
I Remember Mama (1944) by John
Van Druten. After Kurt Weill's musical
Lost in the Stars (1949) the theatre reverted to straight plays including
Inge's Picnic (1953),
Rattigan's Separate Table; (1956), and
Rashomon (1959), based on a play by Akutagawa. Four productions from London were Anthony Shaffer's
Sleuth (1970),
Ayckbourn's Absurd Person Singular (1974), Trevor Griffiths's
Comedians (1976), and the musical
Side by Side by Sondheim (1977). Ira Levin's
Deathtrap (1978), with John
Wood, continued into the 1980s, and was followed by such plays as
Kopit's End of the World (1984) and
Hampton's Les Liaisons dangereuses (1987).
