Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre

The Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre began its life in nineteen seventeen as the Plymouth Theatre, debuting as the very first independent commission for the architect Herbert Krapp. Krapp was a pivotal figure who would go on to design dozens of Broadway venues, and he launched his career here by creating a space specifically for the powerful Shubert brothers. He designed this building to stand as a deliberate pair with the neighboring Broadhurst Theatre, linking their architectural footprints together on the same block.
