Studio 54 — Attraction in New York

Studio 54 is a well-renowned Broadway theater located in Midtown Manhattan, New York City.

The building was designed by architect, Eugene De Rosa in 1926 and initially opened as the Gallo Opera House in 1927. Fortune Gallo, an Italian-American opera impresario and owner of the San Carlo Opera Company managed the Gallo Opera House during the 1920’s. The building would later serve as the CBS Broadcast studio from the 1940’s to the 1970’s.

In the mid 1970’s, Studio 54 would later operate as a nightclub, but retained much of the opera and broadcasting features. During its time as a nightclub, the studio was managed by Steve Rubell and Ian Schrager and it became infamous for its celebrity guest list, disco themed celebrations, prolific drug use, and other high profile events.

Studio 54’s use as a nightclub would end in 1990’s and after its renovation in 1998 by it current owner, the Roundabout Theater Company, it would primarily operate as a Broadway theater hosting a plethora of musical and theatrical productions. It has a thousand seats made available for guests.

In February of 2025, I brought and treated my wife and myself to attend and watch “A Wonderful World:The Louis Armstrong Musical” at Studio 54 to celebrate our Happy Wedding Anniversary, and we had a magnificent experience!!!

We found Studio 54 to be quite spacious, found our seats to be comfortable and it provided stellar views to the Broadway show. Both my wife and I were also impressed with the beautiful glass chandeliers, the stunning architecture, the grandeur of the theater’s entrance hall and the gorgeous room used to showcase the musical.

Last but certainly not least, my wife and I found “A Wonderful World” to be quite spectacular!!! The show was entertaining, riveting and non-stop fun from beginning to end.

The highlight of the musical was of course, James Monroe Iglehart!!! Mr Inglehart was unquestionably amazing throughout the performance, and truly captured the essence and persona of Louis Armstrong. His voice impression of Armstrong was “spot on” and his playing of the trumpet was outstanding!!! Much kudos should also be given to the supporting cast. Our favorite parts of the show were the musical acts, such as Armstrong’s singing of “Oh When The Saints Go Marching In” and the “Wonderful World.”

All in all, my wife and I definitely had a great time visiting Studio 54, and watching “A Wonderful World:The Louis Armstrong Musical will be one of our most...

So I saw Kiss Me Kate here and it was one of the best sounding performances I have been to yet. I won't tell you about the show in particular as you can find tons of info about it with a simple online search. The show was a great experience and I would recommend it for locals or tourists looking for a bit of that Broadway magic that they can reminisce over forever. The vocal performances will simply amaze you. I am pretty sure 2 of the numbers should definitely give this show a couple of Tony nominations. I am not sure how much of this show is a part of the original production but the Direction, Choreography, Music, Set, Lighting, Wardrobe and Cast are simply amazing with a special Shout out to all those support positions as no show can be this good without amazing crew. There was was only one noticeable missed line that was recovered by the performer. The theater Studio 54 was true to its hype. Temperature was comfortable. Ushers were pleasant and helpful as well as clear with any instructions on intermission time and directions for restrooms, and seating. Concessions were about the same as other Broadway theaters 2 bottles of Fiji water and 1 pack of peanuts m&m's were $15.25. The seats while nice and padded had a sinking feeling that those who are vertically challenged may have some issue with the further back you sit on the Orchestra level. Pro tip: if you consider yourself a short person ask for a seat cushion to help elevate yourself, but ask early before the house runs out. Most...
