Description

This unique theater was designed by Herbet J. Krapp in 1922 for the Shuberts (famous theater moguls). The design feature that makes it notable is that it's diagonally-situated on the site, creating maximum room inside for the auditorium. Although the outside is not that impressive in itself, the interior is adorned with elegant gild and plush furnishings. The premiere production at the theater was 1921's The Rose Girl; other notable performances include Godspell, Bring in 'Da Noise Bring in 'Da Funk, and Chicago: The Musical.
