Originally built in 1921, the Ambassador Theatre was converted into a movie theater in the 1930s before returning to its roots as a Broadway venue.
The theatre is known for its unusual diagonal orientation, which was designed to fit the irregular plot of land it occupies.
The theatre is home to the long-running production of 'Chicago,' which has won multiple Tony Awards since its revival in 1996.
The theatre was designed in the Neo-Renaissance style by architect Herbert J. Krapp, a prominent designer of Broadway theaters in the early 20th century.
The Ambassador Theatre was part of the Shubert Organization's expansion, which played a significant role in shaping Broadway as we know it today.
