History of Broadway
Theater has existed for centuries. By the 1870s, Union Square at 14th Street was the heart of the theater district. Soon after, the predecessors of today's musicals began to appear as vaudeville acts and revues. When the first subway lines were constructed in the early 1900’s, more people began attending shows in the theatre district. A central hub for the subway was created in what is now known as Times Square. During this time, the first Broadway houses were built in midtown to save the northern city residents the long trip to Union Square. And the rest we say is history. This area has become the focal point for Broadway theater in New York City.
