#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.

Posted: 4/7/08 at 8:55pmIt isn't used for anything. The air conditioning for the theatre runs through the apartment.
Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop.

Jeez, pretty cluttered designed that Belasco was.
I mean that fist pic looks like something out of The Adventurers' Club in Disney World.
You're reminding me of people you hear at the movies asking questions every ten seconds, "Who is that? Why is that guy walking down the street? Who's that lady coming up to him? Uh-oh, why did that car go by? Why is it so dark in this theater?" - FindingNamo on strummergirl
"If artists were machines, then I'm just a different kind of machine...I'd probably be a toaster. Actually, I'd be a toaster oven because they're more versatile. And I like making grilled cheese" -Regina Spektor
"That's, like, twelve shows! ...Or seven." -Crazy SA Fangirl
"They say that just being relaxed is the most important thing [in acting]. I take that to another level, I think kinda like yawning and...like being partially asleep onstage is also good, but whatever." - Sherie Rene Scott

Posted: 4/7/08 at 11:59pmThe Belasco is gorgeous, I'd just live in the theatre itself.
