Designed by Herbert J. Krapp, the Majestic Theatre was originally built by real estate magnates the Chanin Brothers as part of a three-theatre complex that also included the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre and the Golden Theatre.

The Majestic theatre officially opened on March 28, 1927 with a production of the musical Rufus LeMaire's Affairs. In 1930, the Shubert Organization took ownership of all three houses. The Majestic Theatre earned New York City landmark status in 1987.
