Hudson Theatre

May still be running1 open on the record

These opened in the last three years and carry no closing date. That is the strongest claim the data supports — an unrecorded closing looks exactly like a run still going, and the file was last checked in August 2026. A run that closed last week is still sitting in this list.

Counted from the productions we hold, which are Broadway and a partial West End. A quiet decade here can mean a dark theatre and can mean a gap in the record.

What this page does not know

• What played here before Broadway record-keeping starts, and what played here outside it — concerts, benefits, film runs, anything that was not a listed production.
• How long 5 of these runs lasted. No performance count on the record.
• When 92 of these runs ended. They carry an opening date and no closing date, and they are old enough that they certainly closed — nobody wrote down the date.
• Who built it.
