Broadway’s Newest Theatre to Open with a Bang

Henry Miller’s Theatre is the latest endeavor to make an impact on the musical scene, as the newest Broadway theatre to be added in 10 years has officially completed construction. The theatre is the first one of its kind in New York City that meets the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) standards and as such has several eco-friendly features, making the West 43rd Street theatre a venue worth checking out.

Constructed as part of the Roundabout Theatre Company (American Airlines Theatre, Studio 54,) the 1,055-seat Henry Miller’s Theatre sits right behind the original 1918 theatre of the same name and will open with the revival of Bye Bye Birdie this coming fall. The production will begin performances on September 10 with the official opening on September 15, and this newest rendition of Bye Bye Birdie will star former Full House star John Stamos (Albert Peterson) and will also feature Gina Gershon (Rose Alvarez), Bill Irwin (Mr. Harry MacAfee) and Jayne Houdyshell (Mrs. Mae Peterson). The upcoming Bye Bye Birdie revival will run through January 10, 2010 at the Henry Miller’s Theatre.
