About The Theatre<\/a> Seating Chart<\/a><\/p>\n

The theater was originally opened under the name of Stuyvesant Theatre with a production of A Grand Army Man on October 16, 1907. It was built for impresario David Belasco by George Keister, who in 1910, renamed the theatre after himself. The very first production to take place under the new moniker was The Lily, a Belasco interpretation of Le Lys by Leroux. The theater was leased to Katherine Cornell in 1931 and in 1948 the Shubert Organization acquired the theatre. The building was rented for broadcast to NBC from 1949 to 1953 before converting to a conventional theatre.<\/p>\n
