47th Street Theatre is an Off Broadway theatre venue at 304 West 47th Street in New York City's Hell's Kitchen neighborhood. Built as Fire Engine Company No. 54 in 1888, it was designed by Napoleon LeBrun & Sons for the New York City Fire Department. It is a New York City designated landmark.[1]
The venue has been home to the Puerto Rican Traveling Theater,[2] and in 2007 began showing productions of the Forbidden Broadway series of shows.[3] In June 2017, Spamilton, a parody of the musical Hamilton moved to the theatre from the Triad Theatre.[4]
