Opened in 1914, the 63rd Street Music Hall was located at 22 W. 63rd Street and designed by architect Thomas W. Lamb. The 63rd Street Music Hall broke new ground when it presented Shuffle Along in May 1921. Featuring such hits as 鈥淚鈥檓 Just Wild About Harry鈥� and 鈥淏andanna Days鈥� by Eubie Blake-Noble Sissle, this show marked a breakthrough in making black shows acceptable to white audiences. It was later renamed Cort鈥檚 63rd Street, Daly鈥檚 63rd Street, Park Lane, Gilmore鈥檚 63rd Street, and the Experimental. Gilmore鈥檚 63rd Street Music Hall premiered George Bernard Shaw鈥檚 On the Rocks in the 1930s. After delivering a series of flops and 10 name changes in 30 years, the theatre, then known as Daly鈥檚, was demolished in 1957.
