Today In History

Studio 54 opens in NYC

Studio 54 is a Broadway theatre located at 254 West 54th Street between Eighth Avenue and Broadway in Manhattan, New York City. The building was originally built as the Gallo Opera House, opening in 1927, after which it changed names several times, eventually becoming CBS radio and television Studio 52. Later, the building, renamed after its location, housed a world-famous nightclub and discotheque. Founded and created by Steve Rubell and Ian Schrager in 1977, it was sold in 1980 to Mark Fleischman, who re-opened the club after it had been shut down following the conviction of Rubell and Schrager on charges of tax evasion. In 1984, Fleischman sold the club, which continued to operate until 1991. Since November 1998 it has served as a venue for productions of the Roundabout Theatre Company, and retains the name Studio 54.
