The New Amsterdam Theater is a Broadway theater on West 42nd Street in Times Square that is operated by Disney Theatrical Productions. When you visit with your 15 passenger van rental, you will find that they are currently showing Mary Poppins.

Theater history

The New Amsterdam was built in 1903 by A.L. Erlanfer and Marcus Klaw in the Art Nouveau style. Along with the Lyceum Theater, it is the oldest surviving Broadway venue. When it was built, it was the largest venue in New York with 1702 seats for the theater. When the theater opened in 1903, it first played A Midsummer Night's Dream. During the Great Depression, as you may learn when you visit with your 15 passenger rental van, was rough on the theater business. In 1936, the New Amsterdam closed and opened as a movie theater in 1937. It was purchased by a theater group in 1982, but sat idle for eight years. In 1993, Disney Theatrical Productions signed a 99 year lease on the property and now uses it for its plays. This is where the first stage version of the Lion King was shown until it moved to the Minskoff. Now it is home to Mary Poppins.
