Casino Theatre, Theatre in Manhattan, United States
The Casino Theatre stood at 1404 Broadway, featuring Moorish Revival architecture with a seating arrangement for 875 spectators across multiple levels.
Built in 1882 by architects Kimball and Wisedell, the Casino Theatre operated until 1930 when it was demolished for Manhattan's expanding garment district.
The theatre introduced white audiences to African American performances through shows like Clorindy and established the tradition of free Christmas presentations.
The Casino Theatre became the first theatre in New York to implement complete electrical lighting throughout its entire structure in the 1880s.
In 1890, the theatre added New York's first roof garden, creating an additional entertainment space for summer performances and social gatherings.
