Designed by Herbert J. Krapp, the Ambassador Theatre opened on Feb. 11, 1921 under the ownership of the Shuberts with a production of the musical The Rose Girl. The Shuberts eventually sold the property in 1935, and it was turned into a cinema and television studio for NBC as well as the DuMont Television Network.
During this time period, it was known as the Ambassador Tele-Theatre, until the Shuberts reclaimed ownership in 1956 and reinstated it as a Broadway theatre. The Ambassador Theatre has been designated a New York City landmark for preservation.
