Orpheum Theatre (Manhattan)
The Orpheum Theatre, formerly Player's Theatre, is a 299-seat off-Broadway theatre on Second Avenue near the corner of St. Marks Place in the East Village neighborhood of lower Manhattan, New York City. It has been the home of the New York production of "Stomp" since it opened in 1994, with over 10,000 performances of the show having taken place there. There may have been a concert garden on the site as early as the 1880s, but there was a theatre there by 1904. During the heyday of Yiddish theatre in the Yiddish Theater District  in Manhattan, the venue was the Player's Theatre, and was part of the "Jewish Rialto" along Second Avenue. By the 1920s, the theatre was exhibiting films, but was converted back to dramatic use in 1958, with the first production, "Little Mary Sunshine", opening in November 1959. Significant productions include the revival and revamping of Cole Porter's musical "Anything Goes" in 1962, "Your Own Thing" in 1968, "The Me Nobody Knows" in 1970, "The Cocktail Party" in 1980, "Key Exchange" in 1981, "Broken Toys!" in 1981, "Little Shop of Horrors" in 1982, Sandra Bernhard's "Without You I'm  Nothing" in 1988, "The Lady in Question" in 1989, Eric Bogosian's "Sex, Drugs, Rock & Roll" in 1990, John Leguizamo's "Mambo Mouth" in 1991, and David Mamet's "Oleanna" in 1992. The theatre is owned by Liberty Theatres, who also own Minetta Lane Theatre.
