“In 1927, the Shubert’s offered to name their newest theatre for Ethel Barrymore if she agreed to star in its first production. She accepted, and the Barrymore Theatre, designed by Herbert J. Krapp, opened in 1928. The Barrymore was the last Broadway venue built prior to the Depression, and it remains one of the few theatres that have never changed name or owner. Built: 1928”
What did I see? The Band’s Visit, a truly great musical, play, and choreographic marvel, built to make me happy I went. There can be nothing better than the roar of the crowd and the smell of grease paint as it exists on Broadway. Be in an old theatre and you are treated well by God Himself!
Having seats in the front row, center, yes center-front row like really!
I will recommend this to you out of the true goodness of my heart. It is about a band from Egypt that invited to Israel. It is beautifully sad, funny, and glorious, especially the final moments! Do your self a favor and see it, then go to Grand Central Station and eat at the Oyster Bar, a nice way to spend the day.
