(Playbill Broadway Yearbook). This is the ultimate backstage tour of Broadway! AT THIS THEATRE tells the complete history of Broadway in the 20th century, theatre by theatre. This gorgeous book is now updated, revised and with a larger format, covering 1900 to 2001. PLAYBILL's columnist, Louis Botto, along with Robert Viagas, opens the doors and lets readers explore the 40 active Broadway theatres in New York. From the conception and design of the buildings, to their original creators, and on to the theatres' transformation, often under duress, from legitimate houses to vaudeville and Burlesque, to movie houses and then back to their original purpose, this book captures the magical world of Broadway. It is a complete and authoritative history that only Botto, the curator of PLAYBILL's incomparable 116-year-old archives, can tell. Expanded from his popular column in PLAYBILL magazine, AT THIS THEATRE is the biography of those living, breathing buildings we call theatres. In this substantially updated version, Botto includes the histories of all the theatres rescued from the wrecker in the last ten years, including the American Airlines Theatre, Disney's New Amsterdam, and the Lyric and the Apollo, now combined into the Ford Center. AT THIS THEATRE is filled with great stories featuring a cast of characters including Ethel Merman, David Merrick, Katharine Hepburn, Humphrey Bogart and Spencer Tracy. And it's also a theatrical spectacle boasting lavish illustrations of posters, programs, and photographs throughout. This is the gift book for every theatre lover on your list, including yourself!

Great for NY Theatre history buffs

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 2, 2014

Verified Purchase

I love this book. I grew up in NY and attended a lot of theatre before the prices soared to over $100 a ticket. Theatre used to be something you could take part in all the time for a very reasonable cost.

This book provides a very nice history of each Broadway theatre, and traces the history of the shows that played in each house. It's like the "At this Theatre" feature in Playbill Magazine, but on a grand scale. Histories of the theatres are in-depth enough to get a good background on how they came to be, and a flavor of the people who built them, as well as how they got their names. Or how those names changed over time.

There are a lot of photographs, too. Pictures of theatres, pictures from shows that played them, and photos of the stars who appeared in them.

The index is well done so that you can look up information about specific theatres, shows, or people.

If you enjoy theatrical history, or want to remember what you saw where, and who was in it, you'll undoubtedly enjoy having this book around!

As I bought this book as a birthday gift for a theatre loving friend, I did not have a great deal of time to peruse it.
I found that is a very good guide to the history of theatres in New York, So many wonderful photographs, of all those
greats of the New York stage. I am sure that my friend will spend many wonderful hours reading this book . Thanks
Playbill for doing it Les Breen

So much fun to read the fascinating history of New York theatres - especially love to learn about a theatre just before seeing a play - makes the experience so much more interesting. Highly recommend.

Totally brilliant and disappointing.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on October 14, 2016

Verified Purchase

Only four...this is a brilliant book, worth well more than four...that's just me being personal...I bought this as a present for my wife who is related to Maxine Elliott, a Broadway theatre owner (The Maxine Elliott Theatre)...apart from two name-checks on pp 223/279 not a word...so my disappointment is the missing star...Seriously though, the book did give the impression of being fully all-inclusive, and it isn't....As for the packing, delivery etc, absolutely perfect, no complaints whatever.
