This is a really strange quetion, but, oh, well . . . Does anyone know if there is a book or website which shows technical plots and blueprints of Broadway theatres? Any help would be appreciated.

Theater Historical Society has a website but do not think they put blue prints on it. I knw they have blueprints but they are located in a Chicago suburb but check ut their website.The American Society of Architechs I believe is the name of a group & you may have more luck here if you can find it

Some names of architechs & their theaters are:

1. C Howard Crane - Music Box
2. Herbert J Krapp - Majestic, Walter Kerr
3. Thomas Lamb - Mark Hellinger ( Now Times Square Church)

depending on what form you want them in you could also get in touch with a designer who recently did a show in the theatre. these days though you're probably looking at a cad drawing. but any of them would be able to get you in touch with people who could get you actual blueprints, or you could have the cad drawing plotted onto vellum and then blue printed. like i said, depending on how ya want 'em.
