The New Amsterdam Theatre is a Broadway theatre located at 214 West 42nd Street between Seventh and Eighth Avenues in the Theater District of Manhattan, New York City, off of Times Square. It was built in 1902–1903 and was designed by the architecture firm of Henry Hertz and Hugh Tallant; the Roof Garden, where more risqué productions were presented, and which no longer exists, was added in 1904, designed by the same firm. The remainder of the building was utilized for offices.From 1913 to 1927, the theatre was the home of the Ziegfeld Follies, whose producer, Florenz Ziegfeld, Jr., maintained an office in the building, and operated a nightclub on the roof. George White's Scandals and Eva LeGallienne's Civic Repertory Theatre were subsequent tenants. It was used as a movie theatre beginning in 1937, closed in 1985, and was leased by The Walt Disney Company and renovated by Hardy Holzman Pfeiffer in 1995–97 to be the flagship for Disney Theatrical Productions presentations on Broadway.
Idealist, philanthropist, man of science, Dr. Henry Jekyll was all that and more. His lifetime was spent in service to society and culminated in the good doctor's greatest, and some would say tragic, experiment. Dr. Henry Jekyll was always fascinated by man's two separate natures: good and evil. Using himself as a test subject, he performed bizarre experiments, attempting to control humanity's darker side. Unfortunately, he was seduced by his own malignant nature and on many occasions transformed into a diabolical mad man whom he later named Hyde. In 1931, Dr. Jekyll fled London and traveled to New York City, a city filled with outcasts and wanderers. Continuing his research in the hope of finding a way to rid himself of Hyde, Jekyll formed a close circle of advisors and allies and together they founded the Jekyll & Hyde Club. It soon became a social meeting place for explorers, philosophers, biologists, and other daring men and women whose exploits into science and adventure we deemed too unorthodox by their colleagues in accepted society. Nevertheless, these visionaries shared a common goal, to understand the darker nature within us all. Jekyll and his compatriots have filled the club with artifacts and trophies from their numerous amazing adventures. Their histories are summarized on plaques throughout the club. Come visit his very entertaining compatriots strolling in and about the club such as Dr. Sawyer Bones, Ivanta Hacketoff, Colonel Cary Clark, Major Michael magoo, Phillip Andrew Edward Carrington IV, Professor Pricilla Prank, Tippy Toppingsworth, or Ariel Boatsman. Or witness the bizarre and eccentric characters that spring to life to interact with club visitors. These characters include insecure and somewhat bumbling Zeus; Sidney Femur and Marty Patella as the "Funny Bones" the original vaudeville act at the club back in 1931; Tobias Bloodworth, a friendly werewolf who gets everyone howling along; Sphinx, one of the grooviest of all the characters, brought to the club directly from Egypt by one of the club's explorers; and Fang, a gargoyle from Transylvania and a guardian of the Nether World. These main characters are complimented by a host of other interesting and "of course" deceased characters that come to life at the most unpredictable times. The modern day Jekyll & Hyde Club is now open to the public. If you are not faint of heart, come mingle with our cast of characters and enjoy a brave new food and entertainment adventure awaiting your arrival.

TIMES SCARE is a year-round haunted attraction located in the heart of New York City at 42nd and 8th Ave in one of the most haunted buildings in the nation. Times Scare was created out of the ghosts of New York City's past to bring brave souls face to face with one of the most historically haunted buildings in the United States. If these walls could talk, they would whisper tales of horror and intrigue that trace back to the crematorium that operated here in the roaring 20's and the dark echoes of old Times Square's bawdy past. We resurrected this space, these ghosts, to remind you that some things never die and that these walls are waiting, waiting to hear their next grisly tale. Come, enjoy the delicious food and the liquid courage our cocktails provide. You'll need them. The Haunted House is waiting right upstairs. If you dare... And if you need some extra encouragement, stop by the Kill Bar for some liquid courage! Whether you are braving the haunted house or just stopping by to drink you won't want to miss this unique venue on your next trip...we're dying to serve you!
THE LIBERTY THEATER THE LIBERTY THEATER was constructed in 1904 and served as a theater from 1904 until 1933. Throughout the 70's and 80's it was used as a movie theater. In 2007 the Benmoha family won the bid to renovate and operate this highly coveted New York landmark. After four years and a multi million dollar renovation THE LIBERTY THEATER will open in September 2011 featuring a restaurant and spectacular event space ideal for events, fashion shows, film, television, top DJs, or any event that requires a unique and memorable venue, world class cuisine and impeccable service. THE TIMES SQUARE HOSPITALITY GROUP With the opening of THE LIBERTY THEATER venue comes the formation of the Times Square Hospitality Group. A partnership of established owner, operators, and designers with a view to creating a lifestyle, marketing, branding and event company, in the heart of the revitalized and renovated Times Square District. Night life and restaurant veteran Mark Baker has teamed up with producer and designer Ray Trosa, who has co-founded the Times Square Hospitality Group. Located in the heart of the newly renovated Times Square District is New York's newest and most spectacular event space THE LIBERTY THEATER. Constructed in 1904, THE LIBERTY THEATER was home to some of the world's greatest shows and the stars that performed there. The Rogers Brothers in Paris, Little Johnny Jones, Lady Be Good, Tip-Toes and stars such as Gus and Max Rogers, Fred and Adele Astaire, George M. Cohan, and Jeannette MacDonald all graced THE LIBERTY stage. This piece of New York history was acquired by the Benmoha family in 2007 with a commitment to bring the theater back to it's former glory. A century later and a multimillion dollar renovation by Ray Trosa and Sir Decor Designs and THE LIBERTY THEATER shines again under the direction of the newly formed Times Square Hospitality Group. The venue features dramatic cathedral ceilings, the original theater boxes and moldings, sweeping balconies and a giant stage thats hosts a large bar-lounge with a view of the entire venue. The space can be divided to host dinners, parties and events for 15-1,500 people. A fully equipped kitchen with sumptuous cuisine. RAY TROSA Ray Trosa and Sir Decor Designs entered the New York design scene in 2001 with innovative and unprecedented concepts for all hospitality forums, primarily focusing on night clubs, restaurants, hotels and high-end residential projects. With a fresh outlook, Sir Decor Designs reshaped the aesthetic appeal of some of New York City's premiere venues including 9 Restaurant, System, TSQ and more. Ray has brought innovative concepts and modern elements to THE LIBERTY THEATER, yet keeping the original feel of the landmark building. As part of Ray's overall vision for the neighborhood, he has co-created The Times Square Hospitality Group and is currently designing the 47th street restaurant and night club Mecca that will open in spring 2012.

LIBERTY THEATER 234 West 42nd Street Herts & Tallant, 1904 In an age when most playhouses were decorated in exotic foreign styles, whether they be Moorish, Rococo, or Renaissance, the patriotic motifs of Klaw and Erlanger's Liberty Theatre must have been a welcome sight to students of theatre design. Flanking the two sets of double doors that led into the playhouse were two columns called caryatids. Carved in the shape of figures meant to represent "Comedy" and "Song," they defined the Liberty as a house for lighter entertainment. At the top of the facade was a relief carving of the famous Liberty Bell surmounted by an American eagle with it's wings spread wide. Inside, the box office was located in a thirty foot vestibule treated in old gold and aluminum and covered by a huge oval dome. Embossed leather doors opened into a larger interior foyer. This fifty foot lobby, decorated in old gold, amber and ivory, featured a wide staircase to the two balconies and gave access to another promenade behind the orchestra seats. Gold eagles and Liberty Bells gleamed high on each side of the theater, framed by ivory colored decorative carvings, soft amber walls, and crowned by a Colonial style ceiling dome. Downstairs, two different lounges provided conveniences for patrons. Ladies could retire in very feminine decorated with green, ivory and gold pansy designs, while gentlemen enjoyed the masculine surroundings of watered oak and Spanish leather. The comedy team of Gus and Max Rogers opened the Liberty Theatre eater on October 14, 1904 with a musical farce The Rogers Brothers in Paris. Some of the theaters' more viable productions include Polly of the Circus in 1907 and the 1912 drama Milestones. Kern, Kaufman, Cohan and Gershwin created a series of memorable shows that kept the Liberty's lights blazing in the twenties. A year later Gershwin returned to the liberty with one of the decade's landmark musicals. Lady Be Good starred Fred and Adele Astaire and introduced such standards as the tittle song and the syncopated delight "Fascinating Rhythm." It played 184 times. Bill Robinson and Adelaide Hall opened in the smash hit Blackbirds of 1928 and were featured in the Liberty's success, 1930's Brown Buddies. The Liberty's legitimate career ended on March 18, 1933 when Masks and Faces closed after a single performance. Like the other theaters on the block, the Liberty screened movies for the next five decades, finally going dark as the redevelopment of 42nd street began. With little commercial demand or another small, two-balcony playhouse, it was generally accepted that the Liberty would not be restored to theatrical use. But when a decrepit, run down venue was sought for a limited run of T.S. Eliot's The Waste Land in late 1996, the Liberty wound up with it's first theatrical booking in sixty three years.
The David T. Nederlander Theatre (formerly the Billy Rose Theatre and National Theatre, commonly shortened to the Nederlander Theatre) is a 1,232-seat Broadway theater located at 208 West 41st Street, in New York City. One of the Nederlander Organization's nine Broadway theaters, the legacy of the theatre began with David Tobias Nederlander, for whom the theatre is named. The theater holds the distinction of being the southernmost theater in the theater district.HistoryThe commonly held history is that Walter C. Jordan built the theatre at a cost of $950,000. It opened September 1, 1921, as the National Theatre and seated 1,200 people. The Shubert Organization owned the venue until 1956, when Harry Fromkes purchased it as part of the settlement of the Shubert antitrust case. Fromkes died after a fall from his apartment, and his estate sold it to Billy Rose, who renamed it after himself in 1959. The Nederlander Organization purchased the venue in 1979 and briefly renamed it the Trafalgar Theatre before dubbing it the David T. Nederlander Theatre in 1980. It housed Times Square Church before Nederlander sold the Mark Hellinger Theatre to the church's pastor, David Wilkerson. During the 2008 restoration of the venue, the owners discovered records indicating that the theatre was constructed as a carpenter's shop in 1920 before being converted to an entertainment venue the following year. This would mean that the Nederlander joins the Broadway and Winter Garden theatres as the only Broadway houses not originally built as such.
The Lyric Theatre is a Broadway theatre located at 214 West 43rd Street in Manhattan, New York City. The venue has a seating capacity of 1,930 making it the second largest house on Broadway .HistoryThe theatre was built in 1996–97 on the site of the former Apollo and Lyric Theatres. The Lyric was built in 1903 and hosted Shakespeare plays and such notable new shows as Cole Porter's Fifty Million Frenchmen, until it was converted to a movie theatre in 1934. The Apollo, constructed in 1920 by the Selwyn Brothers to a design by Eugene De Rosa, housed the Gershwin musicals Strike Up the Band and George White's Scandals, among other works, but was also turned into a film venue by the early 1930s. A brief return to use as a legitimate theatre in the late 1970s proved unsuccessful, and the venue ended its existence as a nightclub.By the early 1990s, after being neglected and falling into serious disrepair, both theatres were condemned. They were among the 42nd Street theatres repossessed by the City and State of New York in 1990, and fell under the protection of the New 42nd Street organization in 1992. In 1996, the theatres were leased by Livent and demolished. However, certain major architectural elements and structures were protected under landmark status; these were carefully removed from the buildings, stored, and incorporated into the new theatre. Today, patrons visiting the theatre sit under the dome from the Lyric and proscenium arch from the Apollo, and pass through the ornate Lyric Theatre facades on 43rd and 42nd Streets. Above the 43rd street entrance, on the second floor, can be seen the busts of W. S. Gilbert, Arthur Sullivan and Reginald De Koven; the Lyric Theatre was originally intended to house De Koven's works.
Helen Hayes Theatre, initially known as the Little Theatre, is a Broadway theatre located at 240 West 44th Street in Midtown Manhattan. With 597 seats, it is the smallest theatre on Broadway.HistoryLittle Theatre / New York Times HallThe Little Theatre was designed by the architect Harry Creighton Ingalls of the firm Ingalls & Hoffman, and built by Winthrop Ames; its name was chosen due to both the theatre's small size (with a seating capacity of only 300), and its goal to create intimate productions.The theatre opened on March 12, 1912 with John Galsworthy's play The Pigeon. Other plays opening that year include:The Terrible Meek by Charles Rann KennedyThe Flower of the Palace of Han by Charles Rann Kennedy and Louis LaloyA revival of The Affairs of Anatol by Arthur Schnitzler (as translated by Harley Granville-Barker)Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs by Jessie Graham WhiteRutherford and Son by K.G. Sowerby In the 1920s, Herbert J. Krapp redesigned the theatre to increase its seating capacity to 590 and to improve its acoustics. In 1931 the building was sold to The New York Times and converted into a conference hall named New York Times Hall.
