CADILLAC WINTER GARDEN THEATER

1634 Broadway, New York, NY 10036

Seats Approximately 1526

Owned by the Shubert family, the theatre was built on the site of the second American Horse Exchange in 1910-11. Instead of demolishing the Exchange, the Shuberts hired architect William Albert Swasey to convert the building for use as a theatre. The venue was completely remodeled and renovated in 1922 by Herbert J. Krapp. The Winter Garden opened on March 10th, 1911 with a Jerome Kern musical, La Belle Paree.

It is probably best known as the home to one of Broadway's longest-running musicals, Cats, which opened on October 7th, 1981 and closed after 7,485 performances on September 10th, 2000. The Winter Garden also housed the Ziegfield Follies of 1934, 1936, 1943, and 1957, and has been home to some of Broadway's greatest musicals, including Jerry Herman's Mame, Jule Styne's Gypsy and Funny Girl, Stephen Sondheim's Pacific Overtures and Follies, Leonard Bernstein's Wonderful Town and West Side Story, and Mary Rodgers's Once Upon a Mattress.

Since 2001, it has been the home of the musical Mamma Mia, based on songs by ABBA. In 2002, it was renamed the "Cadillac Winter Garden Theatre" under an agreement between the Shubert Organization, which owns the theater, and General Motors.
