The Belasco Theatre is a Broadway theatre located at 111 West 44th Street in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. It was designed by architect George Keister and named after the renowned theatrical producer David Belasco, who commissioned its construction. The theatre opened on October 16, 1907, with the play "A Grand Army Man" starring David Warfield. The Belasco Theatre is known for its beautiful Beaux-Arts style facade and its ornate interior, which features a gold-leaf ceiling, decorative plasterwork, and a grand staircase. The theatre originally had a seating capacity of 1,016, but after a renovation in 2010, its seating capacity was reduced to 984. In recent years, the Belasco Theatre has hosted productions such as "Network," "American Son," and "Slave Play," which was nominated for multiple Tony Awards in 2020. The theatre remains a popular destination for theatergoers and a treasured landmark of New York City's theater district.}
