Belasco Theatre (Broadway) History

David Belasco opened the Stuyvesant in October 1907, having already bequeathed his name on his 42nd St playhouse, now the New Victory. When he relinquished the 42nd St theatre in 1910, he immediately renamed the Stuyvesant as the Belasco. He provided himself with a duplex apartment above the theatre that had the decor of a Gothic church, and housed much of his theatrical memorabilia. Following his death, the theatre was rumored to be haunted by his ghost, until it was banished by the risque production, Oh Calcutta!. The theatre came under Shubert ownership in 1948. Belasco conceived the auditorium of the Belasco Theatre as a living room. He was a proponent of the "Little Theater" movement, which held that the dramatic experience depended partly on the proximity of the audience to the actors, and the shallow depth of the Belasco auditorium accomplishes just that. George Keister was commissioned to design the theatre, with Everett Shinn producing murals (18 of them) and other interior decor. The playhouse is Keister's earliest surviving theatre; he later designed 12 others, including the Apollo in Harlem. His choice of the neo-Georgian style, often used for residences, complemented Belasco's desire for theatrical intimacy. The theatre also boasted a state-of-the-art lighting board capable of producing magical lighting effects. With its freight elevator connecting the basement shops with the stage, it set the technological standard for theatre design. In 2010, the historic Belasco was restored to its former grandeur.

Many stars have graced the Belasco stage! Marlon Brando starred in his first big hit at the Belasco Theatre, Maxwell Anderson's Truckline Cafe. The original production of A Raisin in the Sun in 1959 starred Sidney Poitier (who at 93 is currently oldest living and earliest surviving Best Actor Academy Award winner) and Ruby Dee (8 time Emmy-Award nominee and awardee of the National Medal of Arts). Other stars who have performed on the Belasco stage include William HoldenWilliam H. Macy, André DeShields, Laura BenantiPatti LuPoneNeil Patrick Harris, and many others!
