Eugene O'Neill Theatre
Overview
A bright, elegant, landmarked Georgian-style house that's smaller and less ornate than Broadway's largest theaters, but versatile enough to handle everything from serious mid-century drama to today's biggest comedy hit. Long home to The Book of Mormon, it has hosted a run of well-loved plays and musicals since the 1920s.
Notable Shows
- The Book of Mormon (2011–present)
- All My Sons (1947); A View from the Bridge (1955)
- Spring Awakening (2006)
- Sweeney Todd (2005 revival)
History
Opened in 1925 as the Forrest Theatre, later renamed the Coronet, and finally renamed for playwright Eugene O'Neill in 1959. Designed by Herbert J. Krapp in a Georgian style, its auditorium interior is a NYC landmark.
