Belasco Theatre apartment?
#1Belasco Theatre apartment?
Posted: 4/7/08 at 7:44pmQuite a while ago I remember reading an article--maybe in the NYT--about David Belasco's famed 10-room penthouse apartment at the top of the Belasco Theatre. I was wondering if anyone knows what that space is being used for now? Has it been renovated? I tried Googling it but didn't come up with much.

Interesting mention at the following website. Don't know how old the info is.

Posted: 4/7/08 at 7:57pmI believe -- and I may be WAY off on this -- that the Shuberts use it for a storage space, either for archives or other theatre-related memorabilia. I know I read that a space in one of their theatres is used for that purpose.

Jeez, pretty cluttered designed that Belasco was.
I mean that fist pic looks like something out of The Adventurers' Club in Disney World.
