The Hudson Theatre
This historic treasure is one of the oldest theatres on Broadway. It originally opened in 1903, with Ethel Barrymore starring in Cousin Kate. Through the mid-1900s, it alternated as a television studio, a legitimate theater, and a rock-and-roll venue. Through the nineties and 00s, it served Millenium Hotels as an event space.
It was opened again as a Broadway venue in February of 2017, with Sunday in the Park with George. The New York Times stated that “One of Broadway’s oldest surviving theaters is now its youngest.”
