Theater History
The Palace was built in 1913 and became one of the world’s most famous vaudeville house. The theatre was purchased in 1965 by the Nederlanders, who renovated it and reopened it as a theater in 1966 with a gala performance of Sweet Charity starring Gwen Verdon and directed and choreographed by Bob Fosse. The theater is currently being raised 30 feet to make room for commerical real estate.
