Bijou Theatre

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Bijou Theatre was a Broadway theatre built by the Shubert family in 1917 at 209 W. 45th Street in New York, U.S..

It was one of three theatres which hosted the premiere season of the musical Fancy Free, and ‘stood in’ for the Mercury Theatre in the movie The Red Shoes, but primarily it presented plays by many writers including Sacha Guitry, John Galsworthy, A. A. Milne, James M. Barrie, Herman J. Mankiewicz, Leslie Howard, Anton Chekhov, Henrik Ibsen, Luigi Pirandello, Graham Greene, Eugene O'Neill, William Saroyan and Sean O’Casey.

In 1951 it became a CBS studio, then as the D.W. Griffith Theatre it presented art films. It was reinstated as the Bijou Theatre in 1965 but was demolished in 1982 to make room for the Marriott Marquis Hotel
