About Longacre Theatre

The Longacre Theatre was designed by Henry Beaumont Herts and named after Longacre Square (now Times Square). The theatre was built by producer/manager H.H. Frazee — best known as the Boston Red Sox owner who sold Babe Ruth to the Yankees — and officially opened on May 1, 1913 with the William Hurlbut-Frances Whitehouse comedy Are You a Crook?

After Frazee fell into financial trouble, the theatre changed hands many times before being sold to Astor Theatre Incorporated, a Shubert Organization subsidiary, in 1919. The Shuberts continue to own the building. During the 1940s and 1950s, the building also served as a radio and television studio.

The facade and interior of the Longacre are designated New York City landmarks.
