Not sure if anyone knew this, but I found this interesting.

New Amsterdam Theatre
214 West 42nd Street
The ghost of Olive Thomas, a Ziegfeld Follies chorus girl who killed herself by overdosing on her alcoholic, womanizing husband's syphilis medication, has been spotted on stage and in one of the dressing rooms of the theater. She wears her green beaded Follies dress, her beaded headpiece and her sash and holds a blue glass bottle that is supposed to have contained the pills that killed her. Typically, she only appears after audiences have left, though she's rumored to appear when her contemporaries are in the theater.

Yes, you can easily find stories on most theatres being haunted. The Beck, Palace, Belasco, Cort, and Im sure more that I cant think of off the top of my head.

What do you mean not all the theaters are haunted? Yes they are all haunted just shows how much you know. Why don't you get a little fact before you make up crap. There is a book that Robert Viagas wrote on it.

You basically achieved nothing in that post. If you are going to yell at me at least try and prove a point.

Obligatory.

I think everyone on Broadway knew this in 1997, so yes, I'm sure the Poppins cast knows.

Every theatre has some kind of ghost. But when i saw Follies at the belasco, a person was very creaped out considering it is old and scary. David Belasco Haunts his box seat that he sat in for every opening night performance. And guess where she was sitting. In the Front row of the mezz. about 15ft away from it! I went back for Dracula and sat there also. Another lasy was more scared because it was dracula. But luckily {thank god!} she was moved to the orch., because of the empty house, and i didn't have to be bothered. Very funny
