Belasco Theatre

Belasco Theatre is a theater in the Times Square district in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. It is located at 111 West 44th Street. When it was completed in 1907 by producer David Belasco, it was the state-of-the-art theater in its time. The theater was decorated with original Tiffany glass and Everett Shinn murals.

Originally Belasco Theatre was known as Stuyvesant Theatre when it opened on 16 October, 1907. It was only three years later that Belasco attached his own name to the place.

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore.

My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
