The Winter Garden has one of the most valuable air rights in the theatre district. The Winter Garden is one of the most desirable theatres on Broadway for musicals.I was most happy when “Cats” left so the theatre could be restored.The theatre is one of the few that is actually on Broadway. The Winter Garden is a good example in the use on naming rights. The Cadillac Winter Garden is better than the Ford Center or American Airlines in naming rights on historic structures. I give the Shubert’s credit for taking care of the historic name of this theatre.brucec
When I saw Cats in 1995, The lobby was in wonderful shape but the walls and balcony of the auditorium were covered with larger than life garbage incuding an oversized dirty pink slipper, newspapers, records, boxes and other debris. From the stately lobby one was transported into the junkyard where the “jelecal cat ball” was held. I also believe that the ledge of the balcony was widened because the cats would perform on it. It was a magical production.
I suppose that this theater is/was truly atmospheric.
Did management remove the garbage?
Folks from my generation will remember this theater as the home of Beatlemania!
Not the Beatles, but an incredible simulation.
With Ford and American Airlines having Broadway theatres. Cadillac has jumped on board at the Winter Garden Theatre.
