半岛体育鈥檚 new photo series Inside the Theatre captures the dazzling architecture and unseen details of the world鈥檚 most famous theatres, taking you inside all 41 of the Broadway houses.
The Eugene O鈥橬eill opened as the Forrest Theatre in 1925. Named for Edwin Forrest, one of America鈥檚 first great classical actors, the theatre was produced by the Shuberts and designed by Herbert J. Krapp. Under new management, it became the Coronet Theatre in 1945. In 1959, it was renamed in honor of playwright Eugene O鈥橬eill, who died six years prior.
The long-running Book of Mormon, winner of nine Tony Awards including Best Musical, is currently playing at the theatre.
