Ziegfeld Theatre, Broadway theater in Midtown Manhattan, United States
The Ziegfeld Theatre was a theater building located at 1341 Sixth Avenue at the corner of 54th Street in Midtown Manhattan. The structure featured elegant design with generous interior spaces built to accommodate large audiences.
The theater was designed by architects Joseph Urban and Thomas Lamb in 1927 and became a landmark venue on Broadway. Later in the 1950s, the building was converted into a television studio serving national broadcasters.
The theater became famous for hosting elaborate musical productions that shaped American theater culture. Shows performed here set standards for Broadway entertainment and attracted devoted audiences year after year.
The location sits in a central area of Manhattan with easy access via public transportation. Visitors should know the original building no longer stands at this address and the site now hosts a modern office building.
A decorative female head from the original theater's facade was preserved on a residential building on East 80th Street in Manhattan. This architectural fragment survives as a rare remnant of the theater's original artistic details.
