Built by Fortune Gallo and named The Gallo Opera House, subsequently foreclosed after the market crash. In 1933, it became the Casino de Paris, a nightclub run by Billy Rose. WPA took over in 1937 with CBS acquiring the space in 1942, using it as a studio, and selling it in 1972.
The new owners opened a disco called Studio 54, making headlines for the celebrities in attendance as well as the embezzlement scandal that forced them to sell it in 1980. Roundabout Theatre Company bought the theatre after Cabaret (1998) was a success there.
