Trivia & History

A small theatre located on the roof of the New Amsterdam Theatre.


The theatre once used to sport a glass runway where the showgirls would parade out over the heads of the audience allowing the men to see up their dresses.


During Disney's renovation of the building, the rooftop theatre was demolished and replaced with Disney's offices.


It became a radio station in 1930 and a movie theatre in 1936. It was used during the 50s and 60s as rehearsal space for many Broadway shows.
