This was the same show I had done at the Westwood Playhouse as my farewell to L.A. before I was to leave for London and Sunset Boulevard . It became my Broadway return. I was happily working again…Patti LuPone - Patti Lupone
  • As fate would have it, I was performing my concert, Patti LuPone on Broadway , at the Walter Kerr Theatre while Zoe was portraying Maria Callas down the street at the Golden Theatre. I had afternoons free, so I went to see her in a matinee of Master Class . I was bowled over by her performance, and by Terrence McNally’s play. I left the G…Patti LuPone - Patti Lupone
  • Smokey Joe’s Cafe was conceived for the Walter Kerr Theatre. Then, it turned out that it was a little too big and expensive to play the Kerr because the Kerr is small.

And the Virginia, at that time, was one of the hardest theaters to book.Untold Stories of Broadway, Part 2, The - Jennifer Ashley Tepper

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.
  • When 1 of these run ended. They carry an opening date and no closing date, and they are old enough that they certainly closed. Nobody wrote down the date.
