Ambassador Theatre ~ Midtown Manhattan ~ New York City
While visiting New York last Fall, with "Chicago the Musical" playing across the street from our hotel, we felt quite at home :)

The Richard Rodgers Theatre, at 226 West 46th Street, was built in 1925 to the design of Herbert J. Krapp for producers Irwin Chanin and Henry Chanin. Originally called Chanin's 46th Street Theatre, it was the first theatre to feature Chanin's 'democratic seating plan'--eliminating the separate entrances for cheaper balcony and mezzanine seats and the more expensive orchestra-section seats.
Almost immediately after being built, the theatre was leased to the Shubert Family, who bought the building outright in 1931 and renamed it the 46th Street Theatre. In 1945, the theatre was taken over by Robert W. Dowling. In 1960, it was purchased by the producer Lester Osterman, who sold it to producers Stephen R. Friedman and Irwin Meyer in 1978. In 1981, it was purchased and renovated by the Nederlander Organization, who in 1990 renamed the house to honor the composer Richard Rodgers.
Over the years, the Richard Rodgers Theatre has housed 11 Tony Award-winning Best Plays and Best Musicals, more than any other theatre on Broadway, including Guys and Dolls, Damn Yankees, How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, 1776, Nine, Fences, Chicago, In the Heights and Hamilton.
