Liberty Theater
234 West 42nd St, New York City, NY 10036
A hidden theater lies within the Heart of Times Square, and the Glorifier of the American Girl, Florenz Ziegfeld, invites you to join his Follies for an evening of music, magic, mystery, mayhem, and of course, plenty of spirits.

Audience members will be free to pursue their interests across an expansive environment exploring the wonders and the dangers of the Golden Age of Broadway. Reimagine Ziegfeld's 1920's extravaganza, The Midnight Frolic, with lavish showgirls, risque burlesque, thrilling aerialists and more.

Choose your corruption at Montmartre's Cabaret du Néant while a garish garcon regales you with tales of guillotines and deadly bacteria. Sleuth the luxury suite at Hotel Ritz Paris where Jack Pickford ''allegedly'' tried to save his wife, Follies' star Olive Thomas, after she drank poison. Take a gander at the glories and gutters that created the American Dream.

Audience Advisory: Liberty Theater will be offering a $65 per person prix fixe dinner option for guests during the show. Dinner will be traditional 1920's American cuisine (with pescetarian, vegan and gluten-free options) and will include a choice of an appetizer, a salad, an entree, a dessert and one drink (wine, beer, premium cocktail, or one of our specialty cocktails.) The prix fixe menu is posted on the website. Long Live Lady Liberty! A $5 Liberty Theater Fee will be added to all reservations. Liberty Theater is a historic, former Broadway theater. There hasn't been a play inside Liberty's walls since 1933 -- until now. This fee helps keep her a theater. Thank you.
