More information on the special, honoring the 2022-2023 Broadway Season, will be available in the coming months.
The history of the United Palace, located on Broadway in Washington Heights, began in 1930 when it opened as one of five Loew’s “Wonder Theatres,” premiere vaudeville and movie houses located in four boroughs and New Jersey.
