Studio 54 is a Broadway theatre with one of the most colorful histories in New York City nightlife and culture. Originally built in 1927 as the Gallo Opera House, it became the world's most famous discotheque in the late 1970s before being restored as a legitimate theatre and home to Roundabout Theatre Company productions since 2003.
