Morosco Theatre, Broadway theatre in Times Square, Manhattan, United States
The Morosco Theatre featured gray and purple interior colors, with a seating arrangement for 955 patrons distributed across its orchestra and balcony levels.
Architect Herbert J. Krapp designed this theatre for the Shubert Organization, which opened on February 5, 1917, with the musical performance Canary Cottage.
The theatre presented Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman from 1949 to 1950, establishing itself as a significant venue for American dramatic productions.
