American Airlines Theatre
American Airlines Theatre Review
The onetime Selwyn—the venerable home to the works of Coward, Kaufman, and Porter in their heyday—is now known as the American Airlines Theatre. After rumored incarnations as a burlesque hall and pornographic movie house, this splendidly restored 1918 Venetian-style playhouse is now home to the not-for-profit Roundabout Theatre Company, which is acclaimed for its revivals of classic musicals and plays, such as a production of Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest with Brian Bedford.
