Info
Four New York City theaters have borne the name Wallack's Theatre. Each has had other names before or after, or both. All are demolished.
The last was one of the ten theaters which in the early 20th century made one block of 42nd Street internationally famous for its concentration of playhouses.
The earlier three played an important part in the history of American theater, as the successive homes of the stock company managed by actors James W. Wallack and his son, Lester Wallack. During its 35-year lifetime, from 1852 to 1887, that company developed and held a reputation as the best theater company in the country.
