Fodor's Expert Review James M. Nederlander Theatre
The Loop
Performance Venue
An opulent "hasheesh-dream decor" of Buddhas and elephant-type chairs made the erstwhile Eastern Theatre a popular spot for viewing first-run movies starting in 1926. Though listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978, the building continued to crumble for some time after. In 1998 it was restored to its past splendor and since then has had a second life as a home to Broadway shows; it was rechristened for the late patriarch of the Nederlander family of theater producers in 2019.
