The Nederlander Theatre on-Broadway
The now Nederlander Theatre was built in 1921 on an existing tennis court. Originally the theater had a seating capacity of over 1,150. The Shuberts1996 Original Cast Poster of Broadway Production Rent owned the theater from 1927 to 1959, then selling to Billy Rose. In 1978 the theater was purchased by The Nederlanders and was renamed. The Nederlander Theatre suffered a lack-luster existence from 1978 until the award winning musical production of Rent opened to sold-out crowds in 1996. Not only has the production of Rent revitalized this theater… the Broadway musical has been reinvented and given new life.
