Did anyone see shows in the Morosco, the original Helen Hayes, Rialto, the Edison, or the Bijou?

I've been to 19. I think going to all 40 just became a personal goal for me.
haven't been to:
Belasco
Broadhurst
Circle in the Square
Cort
Minskoff
Friedman
Walter Kerr
Total of 33 out of 40.
I've been in all of them multiple times as well, which for being only 26 years old is pretty damn good I think. I suppose if you plan on seeing everything that's open in a given season, you kinda hit all the theatres by default. The only theatre I've been to no more than once is the Majestic (one time of sitting through Phantom is enough, thank you). I've also only seen one show in the Minskoff (Peter Pan in 1991 if you can believe it), but I've been to the Easter Bonnett there several times since.

i think the Schoenfeld is the only theater I have not been in.
All but the Winter Garden and the Cort.
All of them! Multiple visits for all, except for the Minskoff, the New Amsterdam, and the Winter Garden.
I was just about to say all of them but then started racking my brain and somehow have never been in the Cort or the Lyceum.

21 out of 40 for me.

13 out of the 40 for me with the Imperial being the only theatre I've seen more than one show in.
The only one I've never visited is the Ambassador. I've never seen Chicago on Broadway!

19/40. Almost half of them in two years.
Never counted them and it would be difficult. But I can't remember a time when I've been at a show, checked out "At this Theater" in the playbill, and found I haven't been there before.

I hate to be the lazy person who asks this, but can someone provide a list of the forty theater names to work off of? I have been going to the theater for so long that I think it unlikely that I haven't been to every theater by now.

All of them, including the Mark Hellinger (Grind), and some that are now gone (the Latin Quarter, the Criterion Center), and some of those oldies that were movie houses for a while, before being demolished (the Embassy 49th Street, the Lyric, the Embassy Five, etc.).
I'm confident that I've never been to the Majestic, Minskoff, or Winter Garden. I'm not sure if I've been to American Airlines, I think I have but not sure.
36-37/40!
edit: forgot about August Wilson, make it 35 or 36/40! Still not too shabby for a tourist!
39/40. Missing the Cort, couldn't bring myself to see Breakfast at Tiffany's...even when this became a goal of mine last year.

Never been to American Airlines or Brooks Atkinson

Going to every theater is not a goal.
If a show is there so be it.
