Originally opened in 1918 as the Selwyn Theatre, it was converted into a cinema in the 1930s before being restored to a Broadway theatre in 2000.
The American Airlines Theatre is located in the heart of the 42nd Street Theater District, a designated New York City historic district.
This relatively intimate size allows for a more personal and engaging theatrical experience compared to larger Broadway venues.
The Roundabout Theatre Company, a prominent non-profit theatre organization, operates the American Airlines Theatre, focusing on revivals and new works.
The venue was renamed the American Airlines Theatre following a major renovation and sponsorship deal with the airline.
Productions such as 'The Man Who Came to Dinner' and 'The 39 Steps' have graced its stage, earning critical acclaim and awards.
The 2000 renovation aimed to maintain the theatre's original 1918 architectural details while updating its facilities for modern audiences.
