There is perhaps no other theater in New York City that charts Broadway's rise, fall, and rise again better than the New Victory Theater. Tour-goers will take a deep dive through over 120 years of theatre history exploring the secrets and stories from Times Square's oldest operating theater. Utilizing rarely seen historic photos, paired with some outstanding stories, this theater will come alive as past and present blur before your eyes. Featuring some of Broadway's most famous showmen, from Oscar Hammerstein I to Harry Houdini, and animal antics, from horses centerstage to cows on the roof, these theater walls are talking and the stories are not to be believed. From opera to burlesque, and from dynamite in the basement to magic on the roof, this up close interior glimpse of the New Victory Theater promises theatrical surprises around every corner of this Broadway-turned-Off-Broadway gem!
