Minskoff Theatre
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Minskoff Theatre is a legitimate Broadway theatre located at 1515 Broadway in midtown-Manhattan.
The 1621-seat venue, designed by architects Kahn and Jacobs, is on the third floor of One Astor Plaza, an office tower constructed on the site of the legendary Astor Hotel. Named after Sam Minskoff and Sons, builders and owners of the high-rise building, it opened on March 13, 1973 with a revival of Irene starring Debbie Reynolds. Over the years it has served as host to musicals, dance companies, and concerts.
In September 2007, a new set within the Minskoff space was created for the syndicated newsmagazine The Insider, which had formerly been based in Los Angeles and MTV's Time Square facilities, which are in the office portion of the One Astor Center building.
