EUGENE O'NEILL THEATRE

This Broadway theatre first began life in 1925 as the Forrest Theatre, designed by architect Herbert J. Krapp and built for the Shuberts as part of a theatre-hotel complex, named after the 19th century tragedian Edwin Forrest. Later on, the theatre was renamed the Coronet in 1945 following renovations by architects Walker & Gillette, before being once again rechristened the O'Neill in 1959, honoring the eminent American playwright. It now forms part of the Jujamcyn Theater Company and has staged a host of award-winning productions before becoming the incumbent home of the Book of Mormon since 2011. -
