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

Designed by Herbert Krapp, the Ambassador Theatre opened on 11 February 1921 under the ownership of the Shuberts, with a production of the musical The Rose Girl. The Shuberts finally sold the business in 1935 and it was transformed into an NBC movie and television studio co-owned by the DuMont Television Network. It was known as the Ambassador Tele-Theater during this time period. In 1956, the Shuberts regained control and reopened it as a Broadway Theatre as we see it now. In 1987, the Ambassador Theatre was given a Landmark Status by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission.<\/p>\n
