Longacre Theatre
Encyclopedia : L : LO : LON : Longacre Theatre
The Longacre Theatre is a Broadway theatre. It is located at 220 West 48th Street.
This theatre has for many years been perceived as "cursed" with bad luck, ever since the founder of the theatre, Harry H. Frazee, then also the owner of the Red Sox, sold Babe Ruth to the Yankees. People in the theatre business are often a superstitious bunch, so producers won't bring plays there for fear that the show will flop.[[Citing sources citation needed]] The theater hasn't had a money-making show for some time now,[[Citing sources citation needed]] perhaps because producers shun it, or perhaps because the "Curse of the Bambino" lives on.
