About This Theatre
The Samuel J. Friedman Theatre, originally the Biltmore, was the second theatre built by the Chanin Organization.
Designed by Herbert J. Krapp, the interior plan was unusual in that it sat slightly askew on the site and the auditorium was rectangular with a horseshoe at one end and the proscenium arch at the other. The ornamentation was in the Adamesque, or 18th century neoclassical, style used frequently by Krapp. In 1987 the interior of the theatre was destroyed by fire and remained vacant for 14 years until the Manhattan Theatre Club, a subscription-based nonprofit organization, rescued it and extensively renovated it. The theatre reopened in 2003 with Violet Hour. Five years later it was renamed for Samuel J. Friedman, the first theatrical press agent to have a theatre named in his honor. Dedicated to nurturing and promoting new American plays, the Manhattan Theatre Club has presented such productions as Rabbit Hole, Reckless, Doubt, and Time Stands Still.
My Name Is Lucy Barton is currently playing in the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre.
The Samuel J. Friedman has 650 seats and is Manhattan Theatre Club‘s only Broadway theatre.

On September 4, 2008, the Biltmore Theatre, Broadway home of the nonprofit Manhattan Theatre Club, was rechristened the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre in recognition of the pioneering Broadway publicist. The glorious restoration of the Biltmore was the miracle of the 2003–2004 season. Dark since 1987, the 1925 landmark had been destroyed by fire and scavengers. MTC restored the theatre in partnership with Biltmore Theatre Associates, builders of an adjacent 51-story apartment tower. The restoration was designed by Polshek Partnership Architects.
MTC’s inaugural season included Drowning Crow with Alfre Woodard; The Violet Hour; and Sight Unseen. Subsequent productions: Reckless; Brooklyn Boy; After the Night and the Music; Absurd Person Singular; Rabbit Hole (Pulitzer Prize); Shining City; Losing Louie; Translations; LoveMusik; Mauritius; Come Back, Little Sheba; Top Girls; To Be or Not to Be; The American Plan; Accent on Youth; The Royal Family; Collected Stories with Linda Lavin and Sarah Paulson; Time Stands Still; The Pitmen Painters; Good People with Frances McDormand (Tony Award); Master Class with Tyne Daly; Wit; Venus in Fur with Nina Arianda (Tony Award); The Columnist with John Lithgow; An Enemy of the People; The Other Place with Laurie Metcalf; The Assembled Parties with Judith Light (Tony Award); The Snow Geese; Outside Mullingar with Debra Messing; Casa Valentina; The Country House; Constellations with Jake Gyllenhaal and Ruth Wilson; Airline Highway; Fool for Love; Our Mother’s Brief Affair; The Father with Frank Langella (Tony Award); Heisenberg with Mary-Louise Parker; August Wilson’s Jitney (Tony Award); Lillian Hellman’s The Little Foxes with Laura Linney and Cynthia Nixon (Tony Award); Prince of Broadway; The Children; Saint Joan; The Nap; Choir Boy; and Ink.
In the 1980s this theatre housed Honky Tonk Nights; The Boys of Winter; A Woman of Independent Means; Doonesbury; Whodunnit, A Talent for Murder; To Grandmother’s House We Go; The American Clock; and Nuts.
Highlights of the 1970s included Find Your Way Home; Knock, Knock; The Robber Bridegroom; Lily Tomlin in Appearing Nitely; and Claudette Colbert and Rex Harrison in The Kingfisher.
From 1952 to 1961, the Biltmore was leased to CBS. It returned to legitimacy with Elizabeth Ashley in Take Her, She’s Mine. Ashley returned in 1963 with Robert Redford in Barefoot in the Park.
Hair arrived in 1968 and ran for 1,750 performances.
In the 1940s, the Biltmore enjoyed three huge hits: My Sister Eileen with Shirley Booth, Kiss and Tell with Richard Widmark, and The Heiress with Wendy Hiller.
In the 1930s the Biltmore was taken over by the Federal Theatre Project for its Living Newspaper series, and then by Warner Brothers as a showcase for the productions of George Abbott. Two hit comedies resulted: Brother Rat, with Eddie Albert and José Ferrer, and What a Life, with Ezra Stone.
In 1926, Walter Huston starred in lurid melodrama Kongo, then returned the next year in The Barker, which also starred Claudette Colbert. She next played here in Tin Pan Alley. Mae West’s Pleasure Man, in which she did not appear, opened here in 1928 — and the police promptly closed it.
