The Times Square is still standing. About three months ago, the front was boarded over and work began inside to clean it up. They’ve also ‘reattached’ the stage, which had been bricked off to serve as retail space some years ago. What will they use it for?? To my knowledge, it’s available for restaurant or retail space. It cannot be used for legit, as the load in for the stage would be on 42nd St, and that’s not allowed by city ordinance.

is this still up, or has it been torn down?

The Times Square Theatre is located at 217 W. 42nd Street and it seated at one time 1056 people. You can see some of the exterior of this theatre in the 1980 movie “Times Square” and some of the other area marquees.

Now Michael, this would be something for the New York City Opera to look into. And what about the mini-Met? Yeah, right. They demolished the Empire, the Rialto, the Liberty, and combined the Lyric and the Apollo. What new acts of vandalism will the city of New York commit against itself?
