About This Theatre

“Playing the Palace” has been the dream of many performers since the theatre opened in 1913. For many years the Palace Theatre was the preeminent vaudeville theatre in the country and an engagement in this theatre meant that a performer had “made it.” The who’s who of entertainment royalty have performed on this stage, including Ethel Barrymore, Harry Houdini, Will Rogers, Ethel Merman, Judy Garland, Jerry Lewis, Harry Belafonte, Bette Midler, Shirley MacLaine, and Diana Ross.

In 1965, James M. Nederlander turned it into a legitimate theatre for the opening of Sweet Charity starring Gwen Verdon. Since then, it has housed star-studded hits including Lauren Bacall in Applause and Woman of the Year, Richard Kiley in Man of La Mancha, George Hearn in La Cage aux Folles, and Keith Carradine in The Will Rogers Follies. In 1994, the theatre was transformed to house Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, which was followed by their musical, Aida.

Tammy Faye is next up at the Palace Theatre.

The Palace has 1,740 seats and is one of The Nederlander Organization‘s nine Broadway theatres. It is co-owned with Stewart F. Lane.

Palace Theatre marquee, featuring All Shook Up on BroadwayBuilt in 1913, The Palace was the world’s most famous vaudeville house until the death of vaudeville in the 1930s. The theatre was purchased by the Nederlanders in 1965, it underwent a beautiful renovation, and it became a legit theatre in 1966 with the gala opening of Sweet Charity, starring Gwen Verdon and directed and choreographed by Bob Fosse.

In recent years, Disney’s Beauty and the Beast opened here in April 1994, playing 2,250 performances (this theatre’s longest-running show) before moving to the Lunt-Fontanne in November 1999. Other productions at this theatre: Sunset Boulevard; An American in Paris; The Temptations & The Four Tops on Broadway; Holler If Ya Hear Me; a revival of Annie; Priscilla, Queen of the Desert; a revival of West Side Story; Liza Minnelli in both Liza’s at the Palace! and Minnelli on Minnelli; Legally Blonde; Lestat; All Shook Up; Aida; The Will Rogers Follies; La Cage aux Folles, starring George Hearn and Gene Barry, which won six Tony Awards and ran for 1,761 performances; and the hit musical Woman of the Year, which won Tony Awards for Lauren Bacall and Marilyn Cooper, Kander and Ebb (score), and Peter Stone (book).

During the 1970s, superstars such as Bette Midler, Josephine Baker, Shirley MacLaine, and Diana Ross made spectacular personal appearances at the Palace. Main attractions during this period included Christopher Plummer (Tony Award) in the musical Cyrano; Carol Channing in a revised version of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes called LoreleiRichard Kiley in a return engagement of Man of La Mancha; Joel Grey in Jerry Herman’s The Grand Tour; a rousing revival of Oklahoma!; and Lauren Bacall, Len Cariou, Penny Fuller, Bonnie Franklin, and Lee Roy Reams in the megahit Applause, which won Tony Awards for Bacall, Betty Comden and Adolph Green (book), Charles Strouse and Lee Adams (score), and Ron Field (director and choreographer).

In 1967, Judy Garland returned to this theatre in triumph in a vaudeville revue called At Home at the Palace. On the bill with her were tap dancer John Bubbles, comic Jackie Vernon, juggler Francis Brunn, and Garland’s young children Lorna and Joey Luft. Later that year, Eddie Fisher and Buddy Hackett played the Palace, and then Don Ameche and Carol Bruce appeared in Henry, Sweet Henry, a musical adaptation of the Nora Johnson novel and the film The World of Henry Orient.

The next year saw Joel Grey play the great George M. Cohan in the musical George M! by Michael Stewart and John and Fran Pascal, with the timeless songs of Cohan and his sister Josie Cohan, played by Bernadette Peters.

Cohan was one of the few great entertainers who never played the Palace during its vaudeville heyday, but Grey’s impersonation lasted here for 433 performances.
