A Legendary Broadway Venue
Studio 54
Located in the heart of Midtown Manhattan, Studio 54 is one of New York City’s most iconic entertainment destinations. Originally opened in 1927 as the Gallo Opera House, the venue has transformed through decades of theatrical, television, music, and nightlife history before becoming the celebrated Broadway theater operated by the Roundabout Theatre Company today.
Much like the vibrant neighborhood experience showcased by Ameritania Hotel at Times Square, Studio 54 blends culture, entertainment, history, and modern Broadway energy into one unforgettable destination.
