The Music Box Theatre was constructed in 1921 to house the musical revue 'The Music Box Revue,' produced by Sam H. Harris and Irving Berlin.
Designed by architect C. Howard Crane, the theatre features a neo-Georgian style, which was quite distinct from the more common ornate designs of its time.
Irving Berlin, one of America's greatest songwriters, was a co-producer of the theatre's first show and had a significant influence on its early success.
The theatre has a relatively intimate seating capacity of 1,025, which allows for a more personal audience experience.
The theatre was the original home to 'Death of a Salesman' by Arthur Miller, which won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1949.
The theatre has hosted several long-running productions, including 'The Diary of Anne Frank' and 'Les Liaisons Dangereuses.'
The theatre is located within the Broadway Theater District, which is a designated historic district known for its cultural significance.
