New York, NY
Built:
1906
Venue Status:
Demolished
(1982)
Seating Capacity:
1,306 when the theatre opened
Demolished in 1982 following a bitter battle with protestors along with the Morosco, Victoria, Bijou and Helen Hayes to make way for the Marriott Marquis Hotel (which houses the Marquis Theatre).
Different seating capacities appear in different sources. Our number of 1,306 comes from a piece on the theatre that appeared in the New York Herald Tribune when the theatre opened. The capacity may well have gone both up and down at various times later.
