Morosco Theatre information


Morosco Theatre
Night. Plain-looking theatre front from across the street, at an angle. Under the marquee, which is as wide as the theatre, a dozen or so people standing in front of the entrance are in bright light. Atop the building, a large sign announces the theatre's name and the play's name (abbreviated as Oh Dad Poor Dad, etc.). Everything else above the marquee, including nearby and distant buildings, is in relative darkness, but the street lights and illuminated signs and windows make it visible.

The Morosco Theatre was a Broadway theatre near Times Square in New York City from 1917 to 1982. It housed many notable productions and its demolition, along with four adjacent theaters, was controversial.[2][3]

  1. ^ The sign refers to Arthur Kopit's comedy, Oh Dad, Poor Dad, Mamma's Hung You in the Closet and I'm Feelin' So Sad, which ran at the Morosco from August 27 to October 5, 1963. (Oh Dad, Poor Dad, Mamma's Hung You in the Closet and I'm Feelin' So Sad at the Internet Broadway Database)
