Ziegfeld Theatre, New York, on the north-west corner of 6th Avenue and 54th Street, designed for Florenz
Ziegfeld by the scene designer Joseph
Urban. With a handsome egg-shaped auditorium, a fine, stark exterior, and lavish backstage space, it opened in 1927 with the musical
Rio Rita, which was followed by Kern and
Hammerstein's Show Boat,
Coward's Bitter Sweet (1929), and the
Ziegfeld Follies of 1931. After Ziegfeld's death in 1932 his theatre became a cinema, but in 1944 it was reopened by Billy Rose, under its old name, with the revue
Seven Lively Arts starring Beatrice
Lillie. Carol Channing appeared there in the musical version of
Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1949), and in 1953 the theatre housed a revival of the
Gershwins' opera
Porgy and Bess. From 1955 to 1963 it was used for television, but returned to live theatre again in 1963 with an evening of songs and sketches starring Maurice
Chevalier, followed by Bert
Lahr in
Foxy (1964), a musical based on
Jonson's Volpone. The building was demolished in 1967, to be replaced in 1969 by a cinema.
