Gershwin Theatre

Don’t be “Wicked,” get a ticket to see the magical performances at Gershwin Theatre that have made other Broadway shows green with envy. The Broadway musical “Wicked” chronicles the witches of Oz as each chooses her path of good and evil. But in any good Broadway show, the distinction between wicked and good doesn’t always show clearly. However, theater productions at the Gershwin Theatre do show clearly because about two-thirds of its 1,900 seats are on orchestra level. Gershwin Theatre, located at 222 W. 51st St., was originally called the Uris. Built in 1972, the Gershwin Theatre is the first large Broadway theater built since 1931. It has a flexible stage floor that can be reconfigured and a water curtain provides fire protection. The theater name was changed to the Gershwin Theatre during a 1983 Tony Award telecast.

In the 70s, Gershwin Theatre tickets were some of the hottest in town as the Gershwin Theatre hosted numerous celebrated artists including Frank Sinatra, Count Basie, Ella Fitzgerald, Henry Mancini, Sammy Davis Jr., Rudolf Nureyev, Barry Manilow, and Bing Crosby. Yul Brynner played in Gershwin Theatre’s 1972 revival of Rodgers and Hammerstein's "The King and I," which ran 719 performances. The ghoulish “Sweeney Todd” opened in 1979 and ran 557 performances, earning 7 Tony Awards including “Best Musical.” “Wicked” is now enchanting audiences at the Gershwin Theatre and across the nation.
