The Imperial Theater was the Schubert brothers' fiftieth theater in New York City. Built in 1923 at 249 West Forty-fifth Street, it seats 1,650. It was designed by Herbert J. Krapp as a musical comedy house. Mary Jane McKane was the first production, opening on Christmas night, 1923.
Some notable productions include:
Cole Porter and Moss Hart's musical Jubilee, featuring two classic Porter songs, "Begin the Beguine" and "Just One of Those Things".
Dreamgirls opened on December 20, 1981 and ran for 1522 performances. This musical featured the song "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going", sung by Jennifer Holliday. Holliday's performance of this song stopped the show and became her signature song.
