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.
