Initially inaugurated in 1903 with Cousin Kate, the Hudson Theatre has transformed over the years, serving as a cinema and rock club before gaining landmark status in 1987. It then functioned as a hotel conference venue until the Ambassador Theatre Group acquired it in 2015 and meticulously restored it into a fully operational theater.
Nearly five decades after its last Broadway performance in 1968, the newly renovated venue made a stylish comeback showcasing its appeal to audiences and ability to stage critically acclaimed shows.
