New York has long been considered the hub of the American theatre scene: the 2018 World Cities Culture Report<\/a> counted 637 operational theatres within the city\u2019s limits and estimated that ticket sales for New York City\u2019s theatrical events total $1.7 billion each year. Still, even the modern popularity of the Great White Way pales in comparison to its heyday during the Roaring 20s, when the film industry was in its infancy and live theatre was the city\u2019s dominant form of entertainment. Nineteen of the forty-one active Broadway theatres<\/a> opened between 1920 and 1930, and many others were constructed during this period only to immediately fall prey to the financial devastation of the 1929 stock market crash. Most of these playhouses have since been destroyed or repurposed, but there are several notable exceptions\u2014including the Times Square Theatre.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nHistory of the Times Square Theatre<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
