The facade is designed in a Spanish style with golden brick, terracotta, and stone. The ground floor, which contains the theater's entrance, is clad in rusticated blocks of terracotta above a granite water table. Above are a set of three double-height arches, as well as two terracotta plaques. The facade is topped by a loggia. The auditorium contains Spanish-style detailing, a large balcony, and a rib-arched ceiling. Due to the theater's small size, it lacks box seats. The balcony, proscenium arch, and exit arches are ornately decorated, with geometric panels and twisting colonettes.

The Golden, Majestic, and Bernard B. Jacobs theaters, along with the Lincoln Hotel, were all developed by Chanin and designed by Krapp as part of a theater/hotel complex. The Masque opened on February 24, 1927, and was the second of the three theaters to open. The Shubert family took over the Masque in 1930 but subsequently went into receivership, and producer John Golden leased the theater in 1936. Golden renamed the theater after himself in 1937, and the Shuberts regained full control in 1945. The Golden has mostly remained in legitimate use since then, except from 1946 to 1948, when it was used as a cinema. Over the years, the Golden has largely been used for productions with small casts, as well as revues.

Site

The John Golden Theatre is on 252 West 45th Street, on the south sidewalk between Eighth Avenue and Seventh Avenue, near Times Square in the Theater District of Midtown Manhattan in New York City.[3][4] The rectangular land lot covers 6,400 square feet (590 m2), with a frontage of 62.33 feet (19.00 m) on 44th Street and a depth of 109.67 feet (33 m).[4] The Golden Theatre shares the city block with the Row NYC Hotel to the west. It adjoins six other theaters: the Bernard B. Jacobs, Gerald Schoenfeld, and Booth to the east; the Broadhurst and Shubert to the southeast; and the Majestic to the south. Other nearby structures include the Music Box Theatre and Imperial Theatre to the north; the New York Marriott Marquis to the northeast; One Astor Plaza to the east; and Sardi's restaurant, the Hayes Theater, and the St. James Theatre one block south.[4]

The Golden is part of the largest concentration of Broadway theaters on a single block.[5] The adjoining block of 45th Street is also known as George Abbott Way,[6] and foot traffic on the street increases box-office totals for the theaters there.[7] The Majestic, Masque (Golden), and Royale (Bernard B. Jacobs) theaters and the Lincoln Hotel (Row NYC Hotel) had all been developed concurrently.[8] The site of all four buildings had previously occupied by twenty brownstone residences.[9] The site was part of the Astor family estate from 1803[10] to 1922, when it was sold to Henry Claman.[11][12] The plots collectively measured 200 feet (61 m) wide along Eighth Avenue, 240 feet (73 m) along 44th Street, and 250 feet (76 m) along 45th Street.[12][13]

Design

The John Golden Theatre, originally the Theatre Masque, was designed by Herbert J. Krapp in the Spanish style and was constructed from 1926 to 1927 for the Chanin brothers.[3][14][15] The theater is named after producer John Golden (1874–1955).[16] It was part of an entertainment complex along with the Lincoln Hotel and the Majestic and Royale theaters, which were also designed by Krapp in a Spanish style.[8][15][17] The Masque was designed to be the smallest theater in that complex, with about 800 seats.[18][19][20] The Chanin Realty and Construction Company constructed all four structures.[10][21] The Golden is operated by the Shubert Organization.[22][23]

Facade

 
Rusticated terracotta base

The facade is symmetrically arranged. The ground floor is clad in rusticated blocks of terracotta above a granite water table. At ground level, the auditorium entrance includes four pairs of glass and aluminum doors. There is a modern bronze-framed sign board to the left, or east, of the doors. In addition, there are two display boxes on either side of the doors, with volutes on one of the boxes and stylized lions on the other box on either side. A plaque memorializing the theater's namesake is placed beside the doors. The entrance is topped by a marquee. A terracotta cornice and a band course run above the ground floor.[24] The stage door is to the right, or east, of the main facade and is shared with the Majestic and Bernard B. Jacobs theaters.[22]

The upper stories contain gold-colored, bonded Roman brick.[24] The brick facade was designed to relate to the adjacent theaters and hotel.[17] The center of the facade has a set of three arches spanning the second and third stories.[17][24] The arches have molded Della Robbia foliate decoration, placed on terracotta piers that contain Corinthian-style capitals. On the second story, there are metal-framed casement windows with multiple panes, above which is a horizontal rope molding. The arches do not have windows on the third story.[24] A similar, wider arcade exists on the neighboring Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre.[17][25]

 
Arch detail

A sign with the theater's name is placed in front of the center arch. Toward the top of the facade, there are terracotta medallions depicting fictional beasts and foliate decorations. The parapet of the facade contains a terracotta balustrade. Above the center portion of the facade is a loggia, which in turn is placed on a balustrade and console brackets. The loggia has six single columns with decorative capitals, which support a cornice with modillions, as well as a Spanish-tile hip roof.[24] The Golden's loggia complements a similar one on the stage-house wing of the Bernard B. Jacobs.[25]

Auditorium

The original color scheme was red and blue, accented with gray,[26][27] while the seat coverings were colored burnt orange.[27] The interior is laid out in a similar Spanish style to the exterior.[15] The layout was part of an effort by Irwin Chanin, one of the developers, to "democratize" the seating arrangement of the theater. The Golden was designed with a single balcony rather than the typical two, since Chanin had perceived the second balcony to be distant.[28] The Chanin brothers wanted the three theaters' interior designs to be distinct while still adhering to a Spanish motif.[25] Following a 2013 renovation, the theater has had an orange/red and blue/green color scheme, resembling the original.[29]

The auditorium has an orchestra level, one balcony, and a stage behind the proscenium arch. The auditorium's width is greater than its depth, and the space is designed with plaster decorations in high relief.[30] According to the Shubert Organization, the auditorium has 802 seats;[23] meanwhile, Playbill cites 787 seats[22] and The Broadway League cites 805 seats.[31] The physical seats are divided into 465 seats in the orchestra, 110 at the front of the balcony, and 227 at the rear of the balcony.[23] The Golden does not have boxes.[23][32] There are restrooms and drinking fountains below the orchestra.[22] An article from 1927 noted that the theater had 800 seats, which were slightly wider than seats in typical Broadway theaters of the time.[27]

Seating areas

The rear of the orchestra contains doors from the ticket lobby, which leads to a promenade behind a modern wall. There are decorative exit signs above the doorways, which are at the center of the rear wall.[30] The orchestra floor is raked, and the eastern wall is curved inward due to the presence of the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre next door.[32] The orchestra and its promenade contain walls with rough stucco blocks.[33] Lighting sconces are mounted onto the wall.[34] Two staircases lead between the orchestra and the balcony.[32] The orchestra level is wheelchair-accessible, but there are no elevators to the balcony.[23] On either side of the front section of the orchestra, there are pointed arches with two pairs of doors. The doors are flanked by twisting columns and contain decorative exit-sign frames above them. There are also shields on the walls, high above the arches.[33] The doorways originally had red velour curtains, which were restored during a 2013 renovation.[29]

The balcony level is divided into front and rear sections by an aisle halfway across its depth, where ornate metal railings surround the staircases.[30] The front section curves forward toward the walls and contains decorative metal balustrades.[32] As at the orchestra level, the walls contain lighting sconces.[34] The walls consist of paneled stucco blocks with low relief Moorish designs. There are arched doorways with exit doors at the front of the balcony. Above the wall is a geometric frieze, which forms the wall's cornice. Geometric-patterned panels are placed along the front and underside of the balcony. Lights have been installed in front of the balcony.[32]

Other design features

Next to the arched exits at orchestra level is an elliptical proscenium arch.[32] The archway is flanked by a pair of twisted columns, above which are colonettes that rise to the imposts of the arch. There is a band with geometric patterns along the arch itself.[33] The coved ceiling is composed of arched ribs, which separate the auditorium into sections. The arches are supported on corbels on each wall, with twisting colonettes beside each corbel, while the ribs themselves have low-relief cameos, shields, and geometric patterns. A frieze with geometric patterns runs just below the ceiling. At the rear of the auditorium, the ceiling has a flat surface with a technical booth surrounded by grilles.[33] The depth of the auditorium to the proscenium is 24 feet 9 inches (7.54 m), while the depth to the front of the stage is 27 feet 5 inches (8.36 m).[23]

History

Times Square became the epicenter for large-scale theater productions between 1900 and the Great Depression.[35] During the 1900s and 1910s, many theaters in Midtown Manhattan were developed by the Shubert brothers, one of the major theatrical syndicates of the time.[36] The Chanin brothers developed another grouping of theaters in the mid-1920s.[37][38][39] Though the Chanins largely specialized in real estate rather than theaters, Irwin Chanin had become interested in theater when he was an impoverished student at the Cooper Union. He subsequently recalled that he had been "humiliated" by having to use a separate door whenever he bought cheap seats in an upper balcony level.[37][40] By October 1926, the Chanins had decided to construct and operate a theatrical franchise "in New York and half a dozen other large cities in the United States".[25][41] Herbert Krapp had already designed the 46th Street, Biltmore, and Mansfield theaters for the Chanins in 1925 and 1926.[17][21][42]

Development and early years

Chanin operation

 
Sign with the Golden Theatre's name

The Chanin brothers had acquired the Klaman site in May 1925.[43][44][45] The Chanins planned to build a hotel on Eighth Avenue and three theaters on the side streets.[43][45][39] In March 1926, Krapp filed plans with the New York City Department of Buildings for the hotel and theaters, which were projected to cost $4.5 million.[13][12] Local news media reported that there would be a large theater on 44th Street and a medium-sized theater and a small theater on 45th Street.[11][12][5][a] The brownstones on the site were razed starting in May,[9] and the site was cleared by the next month.[47] That July, the Chanin brothers received a $7.5 million loan for the four developments from S. W. Straus & Co.[10][48] Irwin Chanin launched a competition the same month, asking the public to suggest names for the three theaters.[49] The names of the three theaters were announced in December 1926.[50][51] The large theater became the Majestic;[50][52] the mid-sized theater, the Royale;[50][53] and the small theater, the Masque.[51][54] The following month, the Chanins gave A. L. Erlanger exclusive control over bookings at the three new theaters and their five existing houses.[55][56]

The Theatre Masque opened on February 24, 1927, with the play Puppets of Passion.[57][58] The Masque was the second of the three new Chanin theaters to open.[59][b] The opening of the Majestic, Masque, and Royale signified the westward extension of the traditional Broadway theater district, as well as an expansion of the Chanins' theatrical developments.[62][63] Each of the Chanin theaters was intended for a different purpose: the 1,800-seat Majestic for "revues and light operas", the 1,200-seat Royale for "musical comedies", and the 800-seat Masque for "intimate" plays.[19] The Chanin brothers were especially optimistic about the Masque, which was the closest of their theaters to the new Eighth Avenue subway line.[64] Brooks Atkinson of The New York Times said the "Theatre Masque is pleasing and comfortable",[65] while Burns Mantle of the New York Daily News said that he "liked particularly the curtain and the carpet".[66] However, both men disliked Puppets of Passion,[65][66] which flopped after twelve performances.[67][68]

The Masque mostly hosted flops in its first two years.[69] Puppets of Passion was followed by The Comic, which lasted just 15 performances,[70][71] then by a revival of the Gilbert and Sullivan operetta Patience, which ran a similarly short 16 performances.[70][72] In August 1927, Robert Milton leased the Masque for several years.[73][74] The rest of 1927 was taken up by three short-running productions: Revelry, The King Can Do No Wrong, and Venus.[70] The Masque fared not much better in 1928, when it hosted eight productions.[75] Relations, a comedy by Edward Clark,[76][77] was the only production in 1928 to run more than 100 performances, though Scarlet Fox and Young Love both came close.[75] In July 1929, the Shubert brothers bought the Chanin brothers' half-ownership stakes in the Majestic, Masque, and Royale theaters for a combined $1.8 million.[78][79][80] In exchange, the Shuberts sold a parcel of land on the Upper West Side to the Chanins,[78][80] who bought several adjacent lots and developed the Century apartment building there.[81] The Masque's first major hit was Rope's End in 1929,[82][83] subsequently adapted into the A. S. Hitchcock film Rope.[84] John Drinkwater's Bird in Hand premiered at the Masque that December, and it relocated within a month, eventually playing 500 performances.[85]

1930s and early 1940s

The Shuberts obtained the exclusive rights to operate the Masque in 1930,[25] though the productions of that decade largely flopped.[86] The first production of that year was a transfer of Martin Flavin's hit Broken Dishes, which had transferred from the Ritz Theatre.[87][88] Also in 1930, the Masque presented Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett's play Up Pops the Devil,[89] with 146 performances.[90][91] It was succeeded the next year by the DuBose Heyward drama Brass Ankle;[90][92] a short run of The Venetian;[93][94] and Norman Krasna's comedy Louder, Please.[95][96] The original romance Goodbye Again, with Osgood Perkins,[89] opened in 1932 and ran for 212 performances.[97][98] Tobacco Road, another eventual hit, premiered at the Masque in 1933 and relocated the next month.[85][99] The Masque's other successes of the mid-1930s included Post Road in 1934,[95][100] Laburnum Grove in 1935,[97][101] and Russet Mantle in 1936, all of which had over 100 performances.[97][102]

The Broadway theater industry declined during the Great Depression,[7] and the Majestic, Masque, and Royale were auctioned in November 1936 to satisfy a $2 million mortgage against the theaters.[103] A representative of the Shubert family bought the rights to operate the theaters for $700,000,[104] but the Bankers Securities Corporation retained a half interest.[105] The Holmeses of Baker Street, which opened in December 1936,[106] was the last show to be produced at the Masque before the theater changed names.[107] At the end of the month, producer John Golden leased the Masque,[108][109] with plans to renovate the theater and rename it after himself.[109] The name "John Golden Theatre" had previously been applied to the neighboring Royale in 1934,[110][c] but Golden had lost the right to operate the Royale in the 1936 auction.[103] The Theatre Masque became the John Golden Theatre on January 26, 1937,[112] and the flop And Now Goodbye became the first production in the newly renamed theater the next week.[107][113]

The Golden continued to host flops after its renaming.[114] One especially short run was Curtain Call in 1937, which had four performances before closing.[85][115] The Golden's next hit was Paul Vincent Carroll's Shadow and Substance,[116] which opened in 1938 and ran for 206 performances.[117][118] Another play by Carroll, The White Steed, was moderately successful after relocating to the Golden in 1939.[117][119] A major hit opened in 1941 with the premiere of Angel Street,[120] which ran nearly 1,300 performances over the next three years.[121][122] Angel Street became the Golden's longest-running production, despite initial expectations of failure: only three days' worth of playbills were ordered for the initial run.[123] It was followed in 1944 by Rose Franken's comedy Soldier's Wife,[124] which had a successful run of 255 performances.[121][125]

Later Shubert operation

Mid-1940s to 1960s

The Shubert brothers bought the Majestic, John Golden (Masque), and Royale theaters from the Bankers Securities Corporation in 1945, giving the family full ownership of these theaters.[105] During the mid-1940s, the Golden presented numerous mediocre plays,[126] including The Rich Full Life and Dunnigan's Daughter in 1945, as well as January Thaw and I Like It Here in 1946.[121] In July 1946, the Golden was leased for five years to the Super Cinema Corporation. The lessee planned to show Italian films there,[127][128] but the Golden instead showed the British film Henry V for nearly a year.[129] The theater was used as a cinema until February 1948, when Maurice Chevalier opened a solo show there.[130][131] The Golden then hosted several short-run shows with live performers.[132] The cinema's lease did not expire until 1950.[133] That year, the Golden hosted a moderate hit, The Velvet Glove with Grace George and Walter Hampden,[134][135] as well as the flop Let's Make an Opera, which had five performances.[133][136] Other works during the early 1950s included The Green Bay Tree;[137][138] To Dorothy, A Son;[139] and The Fourposter.[140]

Victor Borge's one-man show Comedy in Music, which opened in 1953 and ran 849 performances during the next three years.[141][142] By sharp contrast, even though Bert Lahr and E. G. Marshall were acclaimed for their performances in the 1956 play Waiting for Godot,[141] it had only 59 performances.[143][144] The same year, Menasha Skulnik starred in Uncle Willie during its 141-performance run.[145][146] Look Back in Anger was also a minor hit when it was staged at the Golden for six months in 1958.[145][147] Starting in the late 1950s, the Golden hosted numerous revues with two performers.[148] First among them was A Party with Betty Comden and Adolph Green, featuring the duo of Betty Comden and Adolph Green, who premiered in 1958[149][150] and returned in 1959.[145][151] Also presented in 1959 were The Billy Barnes Revue,[145][152] as well as At the Drop of a Hat with Michael Flanders and Donald Swann.[149][153] An Evening With Mike Nichols and Elaine May premiered in 1960[154] and ran for 306 performances,[155][156] followed the next year by An Evening with Yves Montand.[157][158]

The Golden hosted a transfer of Sunday in New York with Robert Redford in 1962.[155][159] Beyond the Fringe premiered later that year,[149] ultimately running over 600 performances.[160][161] Victor Borge again played the Golden in 1964[162] with 192 performances of his solo Comedy in Music, Opus 2.[141][163] This was followed in 1966 by the South African revue Wait a Minim!,[164] which ran more than twice as long, with 457 performances.[155][165] For the most part, the Golden's other productions during the 1960s were short-lived.[133] Seven productions followed Wait a Minim! in the late 1960s,[166] including After the Rain[167][168] and Brief Lives in 1967.[167][169]

1970s and 1980s

The first success in the 1970s was Bob and Ray—The Two and Only,[170] a comedy that starred Bob Elliott and Ray Goulding for 158 performances.[133][171] The following year, the off-Broadway hit You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown ran at the Golden,[172][173] though its 32-performance Broadway run was far shorter than its off-Broadway run.[133] In 1972, The Public Theater presented David Rabe's Sticks and Bones,[174][175] starring Elizabeth Wilson and Tom Aldredge for 245 performances.[170][176] Sammy Cahn featured in the revue Words and Music in 1974,[177][178] while Shirley Knight appeared the next year in Kennedy's Children.[179][180] Two major productions opened in 1977: Dirty Linen & New-Found-Land, a pair of plays by Tom Stoppard,[181][182] and The Gin Game, a Pulitzer Prize-winning tragicomedy by Donald L. Coburn with 517 performances.[183][184] By contrast, Murder at the Howard Johnson's was a notable failure with only four performances in 1979.[185][186]

In 1980, the Golden hosted a short revival of Watch on the Rhine,[181][187][188] followed by the premiere of the double bill A Day in Hollywood / A Night in the Ukraine.[183][189] Hollywood/Ukraine relocated in June 1980[190] and the Golden underwent a renovation.[191] The theater reopened that October with Tintypes,[192] a revue that transferred from off-Broadway.[193][194] The following year, the Golden hosted another off-Broadway transfer, the Pulitzer-winning Crimes of the Heart,[183] which ran for 535 performances.[193][195] Two other Pulitzer-winning productions were then staged at the Golden: 'night, Mother in 1983[196][197] and Glengarry Glen Ross.[196][198] This set a record for the number of Pulitzer-winning productions on Broadway, with four such productions in seven years.[199] A revival of Athol Fugard's Blood Knot opened at the Golden in 1985,[200][201] which was followed in 1987 by Stepping Out[202][203] and All My Sons.[204][205] The New York International Festival of the Arts premiered Juno and the Paycock on Broadway in 1988,[206][207] and Eastern Standard premiered the next year,[208][209] featuring Richard Greenberg in his Broadway debut.[199] During the 1980s, the Shuberts renovated the Golden as part of a restoration program for their Broadway theaters.[210]

The New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) had started considering protecting the John Golden Theatre as an official city landmark in 1982,[211] with discussions continuing over the next several years.[212] The LPC designated both the facade and the interior as landmarks on November 17, 1987.[213] This was part of the LPC's wide-ranging effort in 1987 to grant landmark status to Broadway theaters.[214] The New York City Board of Estimate ratified the designations in March 1988.[215] The Shuberts, the Nederlanders, and Jujamcyn collectively sued the LPC in June 1988 to overturn the landmark designations of 22 theaters, including the Golden, on the merit that the designations severely limited the extent to which the theaters could be modified.[216] The lawsuit was escalated to the New York Supreme Court and the Supreme Court of the United States, but these designations were ultimately upheld in 1992.[217]

1990s to present

 
While showing Avenue Q

In 1990, Michael Feinstein performed at the Golden with his show Concert: Piano and Voice.[199][218] This was followed by Falsettos (1992), which had 487 performances,[219][220] and by the drama Mixed Emotions (1993) with Katherine Helmond, which had 55 performances.[221][222] The comedian Jackie Mason subsequently starred at the Golden in Politically Incorrect, which opened in 1994 and ran for over 340 performances.[223][224] It was followed the next year by Master Class,[225][226] which ran for about 600 performances through 1997.[227][228] Also successful was a limited engagement of The Chairs in 1998,[221][229] as well as a transfer of the off-Broadway production Side Man later that year,[230][231] which then ran until 1999.[232] Mason returned at the end of 1999 for Much Ado About Everything.[233][234]

The first hit of the 2000s was Stones in His Pockets in 2001,[235] which ran for 198 performances.[236] This was followed by The Goat, or Who Is Sylvia? in 2002,[237][238] as well as Vincent in Brixton in 2003.[239][240] As part of a settlement with the United States Department of Justice in 2003, the Shuberts agreed to improve disabled access at their 16 landmarked Broadway theaters, including the Golden.[241][242] The musical Avenue Q, transferred from off-Broadway, opened at the Golden on July 31, 2003,[243][244] and became a major hit, recovering its production cost within a year.[245] By the time Avenue Q transferred back off-Broadway in 2009,[246] it had become the Golden's longest-running production with over 2,500 performances.[247] Subsequently, the Golden hosted Oleanna in late 2009; Red and Driving Miss Daisy in 2010; The Normal Heart and Seminar in 2011; and Anarchist in 2012.[22][31] The Shuberts hired Francesca Russo to renovate the John Golden Theatre in 2013. Russo's company removed many later modifications, and they also restored the original appearance using historical pictures, as well as details inspired by structures such as the Taj Mahal.[29]

The John Golden Theatre continued to host small productions in the mid-2010s. These included Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike and A Time to Kill in 2013; Mothers and Sons and A Delicate Balance in 2014, Skylight and a revival of The Gin Game in 2015; and Eclipsed and The Encounter in 2016. Subsequently, the Golden hosted A Doll's House, Part 2 in 2017; Three Tall Women and The Waverly Gallery in 2018; and Hillary and Clinton and Slave Play in 2019.[22][31] The theater closed on March 12, 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[248] The production Hangmen, which was supposed to open in mid-2020, did not officially open at that time due to the pandemic.[249] The Golden Theatre reopened October 13, 2021, with performances of Thoughts of a Colored Man,[250][251] which closed at the end of the year.[252] This allowed Hangmen to be booked for a limited run from April to June 2022,[253][254] followed by Topdog/Underdog for a limited run from October 2022 to January 2023.[255][256] The play Prima Facie is then scheduled to open at the theater in April 2023.[257]

and Royale Bernard B Jacobs theaters and the Lincoln Hotel Row NYC Hotel had all been developed concurrently 8 The site of all four buildings had previously occupied by twenty brownstone residences 9 The site was part of the Astor family estate from 1803 10 to 1922 when it was sold to Henry Claman 11 12 The plots collectively measured 200 feet 61 m wide along Eighth Avenue 240 feet 73 m along 44th Street and 250 feet 76 m along 45th Street 12 13 Design EditThe John Golden Theatre originally the Theatre Masque was designed by Herbert J Krapp in the Spanish style and was constructed from 1926 to 1927 for the Chanin brothers 3 14 15 The theater is named after producer John Golden 1874 1955 16 It was part of an entertainment complex along with the Lincoln Hotel and the Majestic and Royale theaters which were also designed by Krapp in a Spanish style 8 15 17 The Masque was designed to be the smallest theater in that complex with about 800 seats 18 19 20 The Chanin Realty and Construction Company constructed all four structures 10 21 The Golden is operated by the Shubert Organization 22 23 Facade Edit Rusticated terracotta base The facade is symmetrically arranged The ground floor is clad in rusticated blocks of terracotta above a granite water table At ground level the auditorium entrance includes four pairs of glass and aluminum doors There is a modern bronze framed sign board to the left or east of the doors In addition there are two display boxes on either side of the doors with volutes on one of the boxes and stylized lions on the other box on either side A plaque memorializing the theater s namesake is placed beside the doors The entrance is topped by a marquee A terracotta cornice and a band course run above the ground floor 24 The stage door is to the right or east of the main facade and is shared with the Majestic and Bernard B Jacobs theaters 22 The upper stories contain gold colored bonded Roman brick 24 The brick facade was designed to relate to the adjacent theaters and hotel 17 The center of the facade has a set of three arches spanning the second and third stories 17 24 The arches have molded Della Robbia foliate decoration placed on terracotta piers that contain Corinthian style capitals On the second story there are metal framed casement windows with multiple panes above which is a horizontal rope molding The arches do not have windows on the third story 24 A similar wider arcade exists on the neighboring Bernard B Jacobs Theatre 17 25 Arch detail A sign with the theater s name is placed in front of the center arch Toward the top of the facade there are terracotta medallions depicting fictional beasts and foliate decorations The parapet of the facade contains a terracotta balustrade Above the center portion of the facade is a loggia which in turn is placed on a balustrade and console brackets The loggia has six single columns with decorative capitals which support a cornice with modillions as well as a Spanish tile hip roof 24 The Golden s loggia complements a similar one on the stage house wing of the Bernard B Jacobs 25 Auditorium Edit The original color scheme was red and blue accented with gray 26 27 while the seat coverings were colored burnt orange 27 The interior is laid out in a similar Spanish style to the exterior 15 The layout was part of an effort by Irwin Chanin one of the developers to democratize the seating arrangement of the theater The Golden was designed with a single balcony rather than the typical two since Chanin had perceived the second balcony to be distant 28 The Chanin brothers wanted the three theaters interior designs to be distinct while still adhering to a Spanish motif 25 Following a 2013 renovation the theater has had an orange red and blue green color scheme resembling the original 29 The auditorium has an orchestra level one balcony and a stage behind the proscenium arch The auditorium s width is greater than its depth and the space is designed with plaster decorations in high relief 30 According to the Shubert Organization the auditorium has 802 seats 23 meanwhile Playbill cites 787 seats 22 and The Broadway League cites 805 seats 31 The physical seats are divided into 465 seats in the orchestra 110 at the front of the balcony and 227 at the rear of the balcony 23 The Golden does not have boxes 23 32 There are restrooms and drinking fountains below the orchestra 22 An article from 1927 noted that the theater had 800 seats which were slightly wider than seats in typical Broadway theaters of the time 27 Seating areas Edit The rear of the orchestra contains doors from the ticket lobby which leads to a promenade behind a modern wall There are decorative exit signs above the doorways which are at the center of the rear wall 30 The orchestra floor is raked and the eastern wall is curved inward due to the presence of the Bernard B Jacobs Theatre next door 32 The orchestra and its promenade contain walls with rough stucco blocks 33 Lighting sconces are mounted onto the wall 34 Two staircases lead between the orchestra and the balcony 32 The orchestra level is wheelchair accessible but there are no elevators to the balcony 23 On either side of the front section of the orchestra there are pointed arches with two pairs of doors The doors are flanked by twisting columns and contain decorative exit sign frames above them There are also shields on the walls high above the arches 33 The doorways originally had red velour curtains which were restored during a 2013 renovation 29 The balcony level is divided into front and rear sections by an aisle halfway across its depth where ornate metal railings surround the staircases 30 The front section curves forward toward the walls and contains decorative metal balustrades 32 As at the orchestra level the walls contain lighting sconces 34 The walls consist of paneled stucco blocks with low relief Moorish designs There are arched doorways with exit doors at the front of the balcony Above the wall is a geometric frieze which forms the wall s cornice Geometric patterned panels are placed along the front and underside of the balcony Lights have been installed in front of the balcony 32 Other design features Edit Next to the arched exits at orchestra level is an elliptical proscenium arch 32 The archway is flanked by a pair of twisted columns above which are colonettes that rise to the imposts of the arch There is a band with geometric patterns along the arch itself 33 The coved ceiling is composed of arched ribs which separate the auditorium into sections The arches are supported on corbels on each wall with twisting colonettes beside each corbel while the ribs themselves have low relief cameos shields and geometric patterns A frieze with geometric patterns runs just below the ceiling At the rear of the auditorium the ceiling has a flat surface with a technical booth surrounded by grilles 33 The depth of the auditorium to the proscenium is 24 feet 9 inches 7 54 m while the depth to the front of the stage is 27 feet 5 inches 8 36 m 23 History EditTimes Square became the epicenter for large scale theater productions between 1900 and the Great Depression 35 During the 1900s and 1910s many theaters in Midtown Manhattan were developed by the Shubert brothers one of the major theatrical syndicates of the time 36 The Chanin brothers developed another grouping of theaters in the mid 1920s 37 38 39 Though the Chanins largely specialized in real estate rather than theaters Irwin Chanin had become interested in theater when he was an impoverished student at the Cooper Union He subsequently recalled that he had been humiliated by having to use a separate door whenever he bought cheap seats in an upper balcony level 37 40 By October 1926 the Chanins had decided to construct and operate a theatrical franchise in New York and half a dozen other large cities in the United States 25 41 Herbert Krapp had already designed the 46th Street Biltmore and Mansfield theaters for the Chanins in 1925 and 1926 17 21 42 Development and early years Edit Chanin operation Edit Sign with the Golden Theatre s name The Chanin brothers had acquired the Klaman site in May 1925 43 44 45 The Chanins planned to build a hotel on Eighth Avenue and three theaters on the side streets 43 45 39 In March 1926 Krapp filed plans with the New York City Department of Buildings for the hotel and theaters which were projected to cost 4 5 million 13 12 Local news media reported that there would be a large theater on 44th Street and a medium sized theater and a small theater on 45th Street 11 12 5 a The brownstones on the site were razed starting in May 9 and the site was cleared by the next month 47 That July the Chanin brothers received a 7 5 million loan for the four developments from S W Straus amp Co 10 48 Irwin Chanin launched a competition the same month asking the public to suggest names for the three theaters 49 The names of the three theaters were announced in December 1926 50 51 The large theater became the Majestic 50 52 the mid sized theater the Royale 50 53 and the small theater the Masque 51 54 The following month the Chanins gave A L Erlanger exclusive control over bookings at the three new theaters and their five existing houses 55 56 The Theatre Masque opened on February 24 1927 with the play Puppets of Passion 57 58 The Masque was the second of the three new Chanin theaters to open 59 b The opening of the Majestic Masque and Royale signified the westward extension of the traditional Broadway theater district as well as an expansion of the Chanins theatrical developments 62 63 Each of the Chanin theaters was intended for a different purpose the 1 800 seat Majestic for revues and light operas the 1 200 seat Royale for musical comedies and the 800 seat Masque for intimate plays 19 The Chanin brothers were especially optimistic about the Masque which was the closest of their theaters to the new Eighth Avenue subway line 64 Brooks Atkinson of The New York Times said the Theatre Masque is pleasing and comfortable 65 while Burns Mantle of the New York Daily News said that he liked particularly the curtain and the carpet 66 However both men disliked Puppets of Passion 65 66 which flopped after twelve performances 67 68 The Masque mostly hosted flops in its first two years 69 Puppets of Passion was followed by The Comic which lasted just 15 performances 70 71 then by a revival of the Gilbert and Sullivan operetta Patience which ran a similarly short 16 performances 70 72 In August 1927 Robert Milton leased the Masque for several years 73 74 The rest of 1927 was taken up by three short running productions Revelry The King Can Do No Wrong and Venus 70 The Masque fared not much better in 1928 when it hosted eight productions 75 Relations a comedy by Edward Clark 76 77 was the only production in 1928 to run more than 100 performances though Scarlet Fox and Young Love both came close 75 In July 1929 the Shubert brothers bought the Chanin brothers half ownership stakes in the Majestic Masque and Royale theaters for a combined 1 8 million 78 79 80 In exchange the Shuberts sold a parcel of land on the Upper West Side to the Chanins 78 80 who bought several adjacent lots and developed the Century apartment building there 81 The Masque s first major hit was Rope s End in 1929 82 83 subsequently adapted into the A S Hitchcock film Rope 84 John Drinkwater s Bird in Hand premiered at the Masque that December and it relocated within a month eventually playing 500 performances 85 1930s and early 1940s Edit The Booth Schoenfeld Plymouth Bernard B Jacobs Royale and Golden Masque theaters from left to right The Shuberts obtained the exclusive rights to operate the Masque in 1930 25 though the productions of that decade largely flopped 86 The first production of that year was a transfer of Martin Flavin s hit Broken Dishes which had transferred from the Ritz Theatre 87 88 Also in 1930 the Masque presented Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett s play Up Pops the Devil 89 with 146 performances 90 91 It was succeeded the next year by the DuBose Heyward drama Brass Ankle 90 92 a short run of The Venetian 93 94 and Norman Krasna s comedy Louder Please 95 96 The original romance Goodbye Again with Osgood Perkins 89 opened in 1932 and ran for 212 performances 97 98 Tobacco Road another eventual hit premiered at the Masque in 1933 and relocated the next month 85 99 The Masque s other successes of the mid 1930s included Post Road in 1934 95 100 Laburnum Grove in 1935 97 101 and Russet Mantle in 1936 all of which had over 100 performances 97 102 The Broadway theater industry declined during the Great Depression 7 and the Majestic Masque and Royale were auctioned in November 1936 to satisfy a 2 million mortgage against the theaters 103 A representative of the Shubert family bought the rights to operate the theaters for 700 000 104 but the Bankers Securities Corporation retained a half interest 105 The Holmeses of Baker Street which opened in December 1936 106 was the last show to be produced at the Masque before the theater changed names 107 At the end of the month producer John Golden leased the Masque 108 109 with plans to renovate the theater and rename it after himself 109 The name John Golden Theatre had previously been applied to the neighboring Royale in 1934 110 c but Golden had lost the right to operate the Royale in the 1936 auction 103 The Theatre Masque became the John Golden Theatre on January 26 1937 112 and the flop And Now Goodbye became the first production in the newly renamed theater the next week 107 113 The Golden continued to host flops after its renaming 114 One especially short run was Curtain Call in 1937 which had four performances before closing 85 115 The Golden s next hit was Paul Vincent Carroll s Shadow and Substance 116 which opened in 1938 and ran for 206 performances 117 118 Another play by Carroll The White Steed was moderately successful after relocating to the Golden in 1939 117 119 A major hit opened in 1941 with the premiere of Angel Street 120 which ran nearly 1 300 performances over the next three years 121 122 Angel Street became the Golden s longest running production despite initial expectations of failure only three days worth of playbills were ordered for the initial run 123 It was followed in 1944 by Rose Franken s comedy Soldier s Wife 124 which had a successful run of 255 performances 121 125 Later Shubert operation Edit Mid 1940s to 1960s Edit The Shubert brothers bought the Majestic John Golden Masque and Royale theaters from the Bankers Securities Corporation in 1945 giving the family full ownership of these theaters 105 During the mid 1940s the Golden presented numerous mediocre plays 126 including The Rich Full Life and Dunnigan s Daughter in 1945 as well as January Thaw and I Like It Here in 1946 121 In July 1946 the Golden was leased for five years to the Super Cinema Corporation The lessee planned to show Italian films there 127 128 but the Golden instead showed the British film Henry V for nearly a year 129 The theater was used as a cinema until February 1948 when Maurice Chevalier opened a solo show there 130 131 The Golden then hosted several short run shows with live performers 132 The cinema s lease did not expire until 1950 133 That year the Golden hosted a moderate hit The Velvet Glove with Grace George and Walter Hampden 134 135 as well as the flop Let s Make an Opera which had five performances 133 136 Other works during the early 1950s included The Green Bay Tree 137 138 To Dorothy A Son 139 and The Fourposter 140 Victor Borge s one man show Comedy in Music which opened in 1953 and ran 849 performances during the next three years 141 142 By sharp contrast even though Bert Lahr and E G Marshall were acclaimed for their performances in the 1956 play Waiting for Godot 141 it had only 59 performances 143 144 The same year Menasha Skulnik starred in Uncle Willie during its 141 performance run 145 146 Look Back in Anger was also a minor hit when it was staged at the Golden for six months in 1958 145 147 Starting in the late 1950s the Golden hosted numerous revues with two performers 148 First among them was A Party with Betty Comden and Adolph Green featuring the duo of Betty Comden and Adolph Green who premiered in 1958 149 150 and returned in 1959 145 151 Also presented in 1959 were The Billy Barnes Revue 145 152 as well as At the Drop of a Hat with Michael Flanders and Donald Swann 149 153 An Evening With Mike Nichols and Elaine May premiered in 1960 154 and ran for 306 performances 155 156 followed the next year by An Evening with Yves Montand 157 158 The Golden hosted a transfer of Sunday in New York with Robert Redford in 1962 155 159 Beyond the Fringe premiered later that year 149 ultimately running over 600 performances 160 161 Victor Borge again played the Golden in 1964 162 with 192 performances of his solo Comedy in Music Opus 2 141 163 This was followed in 1966 by the South African revue Wait a Minim 164 which ran more than twice as long with 457 performances 155 165 For the most part the Golden s other productions during the 1960s were short lived 133 Seven productions followed Wait a Minim in the late 1960s 166 including After the Rain 167 168 and Brief Lives in 1967 167 169 1970s and 1980s Edit The first success in the 1970s was Bob and Ray The Two and Only 170 a comedy that starred Bob Elliott and Ray Goulding for 158 performances 133 171 The following year the off Broadway hit You re a Good Man Charlie Brown ran at the Golden 172 173 though its 32 performance Broadway run was far shorter than its off Broadway run 133 In 1972 The Public Theater presented David Rabe s Sticks and Bones 174 175 starring Elizabeth Wilson and Tom Aldredge for 245 performances 170 176 Sammy Cahn featured in the revue Words and Music in 1974 177 178 while Shirley Knight appeared the next year in Kennedy s Children 179 180 Two major productions opened in 1977 Dirty Linen amp New Found Land a pair of plays by Tom Stoppard 181 182 and The Gin Game a Pulitzer Prize winning tragicomedy by Donald L Coburn with 517 performances 183 184 By contrast Murder at the Howard Johnson s was a notable failure with only four performances in 1979 185 186 In 1980 the Golden hosted a short revival of Watch on the Rhine 181 187 188 followed by the premiere of the double bill A Day in Hollywood A Night in the Ukraine 183 189 Hollywood Ukraine relocated in June 1980 190 and the Golden underwent a renovation 191 The theater reopened that October with Tintypes 192 a revue that transferred from off Broadway 193 194 The following year the Golden hosted another off Broadway transfer the Pulitzer winning Crimes of the Heart 183 which ran for 535 performances 193 195 Two other Pulitzer winning productions were then staged at the Golden night Mother in 1983 196 197 and Glengarry Glen Ross 196 198 This set a record for the number of Pulitzer winning productions on Broadway with four such productions in seven years 199 A revival of Athol Fugard s Blood Knot opened at the Golden in 1985 200 201 which was followed in 1987 by Stepping Out 202 203 and All My Sons 204 205 The New York International Festival of the Arts premiered Juno and the Paycock on Broadway in 1988 206 207 and Eastern Standard premiered the next year 208 209 featuring Richard Greenberg in his Broadway debut 199 During the 1980s the Shuberts renovated the Golden as part of a restoration program for their Broadway theaters 210 The New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission LPC had started considering protecting the John Golden Theatre as an official city landmark in 1982 211 with discussions continuing over the next several years 212 The LPC designated both the facade and the interior as landmarks on November 17 1987 213 This was part of the LPC s wide ranging effort in 1987 to grant landmark status to Broadway theaters 214 The New York City Board of Estimate ratified the designations in March 1988 215 The Shuberts the Nederlanders and Jujamcyn collectively sued the LPC in June 1988 to overturn the landmark designations of 22 theaters including the Golden on the merit that the designations severely limited the extent to which the theaters could be modified 216 The lawsuit was escalated to the New York Supreme Court and the Supreme Court of the United States but these designations were ultimately upheld in 1992 217 1990s to present Edit While showing Avenue Q In 1990 Michael Feinstein performed at the Golden with his show Concert Piano and Voice 199 218 This was followed by Falsettos 1992 which had 487 performances 219 220 and by the drama Mixed Emotions 1993 with Katherine Helmond which had 55 performances 221 222 The comedian Jackie Mason subsequently starred at the Golden in Politically Incorrect which opened in 1994 and ran for over 340 performances 223 224 It was followed the next year by Master Class 225 226 which ran for about 600 performances through 1997 227 228 Also successful was a limited engagement of The Chairs in 1998 221 229 as well as a transfer of the off Broadway production Side Man later that year 230 231 which then ran until 1999 232 Mason returned at the end of 1999 for Much Ado About Everything 233 234 The first hit of the 2000s was Stones in His Pockets in 2001 235 which ran for 198 performances 236 This was followed by The Goat or Who Is Sylvia in 2002 237 238 as well as Vincent in Brixton in 2003 239 240 As part of a settlement with the United States Department of Justice in 2003 the Shuberts agreed to improve disabled access at their 16 landmarked Broadway theaters including the Golden 241 242 The musical Avenue Q transferred from off Broadway opened at the Golden on July 31 2003 243 244 and became a major hit recovering its production cost within a year 245 By the time Avenue Q transferred back off Broadway in 2009 246 it had become the Golden s longest running production with over 2 500 performances 247 Subsequently the Golden hosted Oleanna in late 2009 Red and Driving Miss Daisy in 2010 The Normal Heart and Seminar in 2011 and Anarchist in 2012 22 31 The Shuberts hired Francesca Russo to renovate the John Golden Theatre in 2013 Russo s company removed many later modifications and they also restored the original appearance using historical pictures as well as details inspired by structures such as the Taj Mahal 29 The John Golden Theatre continued to host small productions in the mid 2010s These included Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike and A Time to Kill in 2013 Mothers and Sons and A Delicate Balance in 2014 Skylight and a revival of The Gin Game in 2015 and Eclipsed and The Encounter in 2016 Subsequently the Golden hosted A Doll s House Part 2 in 2017 Three Tall Women and The Waverly Gallery in 2018 and Hillary and Clinton and Slave Play in 2019 22 31 The theater closed on March 12 2020 due to the COVID 19 pandemic 248 The production Hangmen which was supposed to open in mid 2020 did not officially open at that time due to the pandemic 249 The Golden Theatre reopened October 13 2021 with performances of Thoughts of a Colored Man 250 251 which closed at the end of the year 252 This allowed Hangmen to be booked for a limited run from April to June 2022 253 254 followed by Topdog Underdog for a limited run from October 2022 to January 2023 255 256 The play Prima Facie is then scheduled to
