Knickerbocker Theatre

Of the 1,071 productions we hold that opened in the 1900s and carry a performance count, this is the 1,019th longest. That is a rank within what we hold, not within everything that was staged.

No closing date. At this distance that most likely means nobody wrote down when it ended, rather than that the run went on.

1 of these 19 names have a person record behind them and link to one. The other 18 are set from the identifier in the cast list, which is a slug of the name, so hyphens and full stops are lost and a few come out wrong. We hold nothing else about them. Nobody here is matched to a character: the cast list records who was in the company and not what they played.
