Studio 54
former 1970s nightclub now operated as a Broadway theater in New York City
Studio 54 is a Broadway theatre and a former disco nightclub was in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. The building opened in 1927 as the Gallo Opera House.[1] In 1942, CBS began using it as a radio and television studio dubbed Studio 52.[2]
In 1977, Steve Rubell and Ian Schrager opened a nightclub in the building and became famous.[3][4] It was known for having multiple celebrities, drug use, public sex and sexist policies.[5] In 1980, the club shut down after its founders were convicted for evading taxes.[6][7][8]
It is now owned by the Roundabout Theatre Company.[9]
