Eugene O'Neill Theatre
230 West 49th Street, New York, NY10036
Seats Approximately 1075
Built in 1925 and originally planned by the Shuberts as half of a theatre-hotel complex, both named for 19th century tragedian Edwin Forrest. But, by 1933, with the Depression, the Shuberts could only hold onto the theatre. Through the years, it has seen many owners, including producer Lester Osterman (who renamed it the Eugene O'Neill), playwright Neil Simon, and, finally, Jujamcyn Theatres in 1982.
In 2000, "The Full Monty" ran for 770 performances at the Eugene O'Neill Theater. The music and lyrics were by David Yazbek, who also wrote the score for the Tony-winning "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" in 2005. In 1963, show "She Loves Me" ran for 302 performances at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre.
