  • The image caption is kinda weird and vague, and I've never seen other articles like this. Perhaps change to "Exterior in 2011". But if it's actually common practice, I'll let this pass.
  • That image, as well as the other images, need alt texts.
  • The first sentence reads "between Seventh Avenue and Sixth Avenue near Times Square, in the Theater District of Midtown Manhattan in New York City", while the one in section Site reads "between Seventh Avenue and Sixth Avenue, near Times Square in the Theater District of Midtown Manhattan in New York City." The first has a comma after "square" while the second has a comma after "avenue". Personally I find the second more readable, but whatever is grammatically right, it must be consistent.
  • "Both the exterior and interior of the theater are New York City landmarks." Mind clarifying what this means?
    • Both the exterior and interior are given an official "New York City designated landmark" status; this is a cultural heritage status given by the NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission. Unlike some heritage registers, the LPC gives out separate landmark designations for facades and interiors. A building with landmark status typically only enjoys such protections for its facade, and an interior-landmark status usually covers only a portion of a structure's public interior - so, for instance, an auditorium can be protected as a landmark, but not the lobby. In this case, both of the interior public spaces (the lobby and the auditorium) are interior landmarks. However, it may be unwieldy to explain this in the lead.
      Such landmarks are commonly referred to as "New York City landmarks". This status can be given not only to world-renowned locations like the Empire State Building, Grand Central Terminal, and Statue of Liberty, but also to relatively small structures like this one.

  • "and was renovated during its closure" --> "and was renovated during this period" to avoid repetition.

  • Is there a reason most of the productions have multiple refs? For example in "1949: Two Blind Mice", I feel like ref. 126 is enough.
    • I think having multiple refs in this section increases the verifiability of the productions (some shows are only recorded by Playbill and the Broadway League, while others are also recorded in the book refs. Epicgenius (talk) 19:53, 23 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • "The Tony Award-winning revival of Fences, starring Denzel Washington and Viola Davis, achieved the box office record for the Cort Theatre. The production grossed $1,175,626 over eight performances, for the week ending July 11, 2010." --> "The Tony Award-winning revival of Fences, starring Denzel Washington and Viola Davis, achieved the box office record for the Cort Theatre, grossing $1,175,626 over eight performances, for the week ending July 11, 2010."
