Located in the St. George district of Staten Island, close to the Staten Island ferry terminal. The St. George Theatre opened in 1929, and was the premier theater on Staten Island in the 1930’s and 1940’s, where first run movies were shown.
The theater has now been restored to its former glory for use as a live performance theater, with occasional film presentations.

How exciting to see this magnificent theatre on “Smash” Sure brought back many memories, the marquee looks to have been resored and looks magnificent.To think we almost lost this gem but thankfully it was saved I wondered if any one knows what is in the booth these days have the 35mm projectors been removed for spots?
What a pleasure to have seen the St. George Theatre showcased over the span of many weeks on the show SMASH! The theater came across as stunning; especially the lobby, and mezzanine levels as well as the sides of the theater. It was really a joy to see. SMASH has been renewed for a 2nd season though the St. George will not likely feature in it as it was subbing for a theater in Boston for the out of town tryout. Nonetheless, it was great publicity for this theater and hopefully will be used by many others.
Looking thru the microfilm files at the NY Public Library, August 1968 had an engagement of THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE for a few weeks, after which THE ODD COUPLE played the theatre
Some booking of the 1960s and 1970s:

Some info please-perhaps someone can help?
At which theatre did the films FUNNY GIRL, STAR! OLIVER! and FUNNY LADY play?
I seem to remember Funny Lady playing at the Hylan Cinema.
Thank you Garth
This theater was featured in SMASH on TV last night. Since this theater wasn’t listed properly as being on Staten Island, I tried to input the information to add a listing, but glad to see it’s here. A lot more history is available on their website: http://www.stgeorgetheatre.com/
OK, my friend corrects me that this theater was not the one used on SMASH last night, but clearly it has been used in the past.
Michael you are correct, this season on “Smash” they are using a NY city theatre and not the St George as they did last year. I was disapointed cause seeing the ole girl last season was fun.
