When opened in 1903 the New Amsterdam Theater was the largest theater on Broadway
The Roof Garden Theater where more risqué productions were presented & but longer exists was added in 1904 but it was utilized in the late 70s & early 80s as a rehearsal facility for a few Broadway shows It operated under several names including The Aerial The Roof Garden & The Dresden
The front entrance facing 42nd Street opens to a very long corridor leading to the theater beyond which explains why loading & stage doors face 41st
