The theatre, originally called The Biltmore, opened in 1925. The theatre was used for broadcasting between 1952-62, but in 1963 it reopened as a traditional theatre with Neil Simon's "Barefoot in the Park". In 1987 the theatre closed followng an arson attack. In 2001 it was purchased by the Manhattan Theatre Club and reopened in 2003 after renovation. The theatre was renamed the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre in 2008 to honor the Broadway publicist Samuel Friedman.
