Longacre Theatre
220 West 48th Street, New York, NY 10036
Seats: Approximately 1005
Built in 1913, this theatre has for many years been perceived as "cursed" with bad luck, ever since the founder of the theatre, Harry H. Frazee, then also the owner of the Red Sox, sold Babe Ruth to the Yankees. People in the theatre business are often a superstitious bunch, so producers won't bring plays there for fear that the show will flop. The theatre supposedly hasn't had a money-making show for some time now, perhaps because producers shun it, or perhaps because the "Curse of the Bambino" lives on.
