United Palace: Happy Hour Historical Tour (March)

Date: Wednesday, March 26th | Time: 7–8:30pm | $30 per person

Directions: Meet in the Grand Foyer at 6:45pm

Enjoy a complimentary beverage at the United Palace where you’ll explore this stunning 3,400-seat theatre, its mezzanine, grand foyer, balcony, and if you’re lucky, you’ll get to go up on stage!

The history of United Palace, Manhattan’s 4th largest theatre and now a landmarked building, began in 1930, when it was then one of five Loew’s “Wonder Theatres” across the boroughs and New Jersey. Designed by noted architect Thomas Lamb (James Earl Jones Theatre, the former Ziegfeld Theatre) with interiors overseen by decorative specialist Harold Rambusch (Waldorf Astoria, the former Roxy Theatre), it was one of the region’s premier vaudeville and movie houses. Today, the United Palace hosts concerts, movies, and community events and provides spiritual and cultural programming.

Tours are capped at 40 people. Proceeds go toward maintaining the building.
