New Amsterdam Theatre - home of the Ziegfeld Follies

The New Amsterdam Theatre at 214 West 42nd Street was the longtime home of the Ziegfeld Follies in the early 20th century and became a symbol of Broadway's theatrical heyday. After decades of decline the theatre was restored in the 1990s and reopened as a major Broadway venue, a rehabilitation frequently recounted in narratives about Times Square's revitalization. The theatre's association with the Follies and its later preservation are well documented in theatrical histories and city landmark records.
