| THEATER ARCHITECTURE: Some of My Favorite Theatres |
| The Helen Hayes currently housing Say Goodnight, Gracie |
| The Al Hirschfeld Theatre currently housing Man of La Mancha Formerly The Martin Beck (Click on Al's Name to go to the Al Hirshfeld Tribute Page) |
| The Belasco Theater currently housing Enchanted April |
| New York City has some of the most beautiful theaters in the world. In the past several years, theater owners have begun to renovate these glorious structures rather than ripping them down (as was the trend in the 1970's where many of New York's finest theaters were turned to rubble). Here are some of my favorite theaters from an architectural perspective.. |

| The proscenium of The Walter Kerr Theatre currently housing Take Me Out |
| The New Amsterdam is the shining glory of theatre renovations. Once housed the infamous Zigfield Follies and was in complete disrepair. There is a fabulous book available which shows the wonderful restoration and gives you a glimpse in the theatre's glorious past. The New Amsterdam: The Biography of a Broadway Theatre by Mary C. Henderson |
