The New Century Theatre was a Broadway theater in the Midtown Manhattan neighborhood of New York City, at 205–207 West 58th Street and 926–932 Seventh Avenue.
Opened on October 6, 1921, as Jolson's 59th Street Theatre,[1] the theater was designed by Herbert J. Krapp on the site of the Central Park Riding Academy.
[2] In 1920, the Shuberts announced plans to convert the Central Park Riding Academy into a theater,[3] hiring Krapp to renovate the old structure.
[2] The Shuberts went bankrupt in 1931 and sold off Jolson's 59th Street Theatre, in part because of the venue's remoteness from Times Square.
[2] Upon the theater's demolition in 1962, the apartment building at 200 Central Park South was erected on the site.
