Location Info

• New Amsterdam Theatre (1903)

Opened on the same night as the Lyceum Theatre.

The building featured a 688-seat rooftop theatre (the Aerial Gardens before going through several name changes).

The main auditorium was restored by Disney in the mid-1990s.

The theatre is said to be haunted by Olive Thomas, a Zeigfeld Follies showgirl who poisoned herself in 1920. She has been seen on and around the stage in a green beaded dress and head dress holding a blue bottle (the same type of bottle held the same type of pills that poisoned her).

In 1955, there were rumors that Max Cohen, who owned the building, had intentions to restore the theatre to legitimate use but it never happened.
