In the literature8 passages

• Broadway veterans were also concerned about New York City's financial support for the remodeling of the New Amsterdam Theatre. The city gave Disney a $21 million low-interest loan for the renovation, while Disney put up $8 million, and the city gave Disney a 99-year lease at a token rent.Stage Money_ The Business of the Professional Theater - Tim Donahue & Jim Patterson

What this page does not know

• What played here before Broadway record-keeping starts, and what played here outside it: concerts, benefits, film runs, anything that was not a listed production.
• How long 45 of these runs lasted. We don't have a performance count.
• When 57 of these runs ended. They carry an opening date and no closing date, and they are old enough that they certainly closed. Nobody wrote down the date.
