Studio 54 Theater

Notorious for being “the most famous club of all time,” Studio 54 located in Manhattan, New York, has a history as infamous as the city itself. Opened by Ian Schrager and Steve Rubell, as a club during the peak of the disco days in 1977, Studio 54 revolutionized nightlife with its multidimensional entertainment including moveable stages and lighting shows, which created a dynamic space for party goers.

Throughout its existence, the club was consistently known for its über A-list guests. Celebrities spotted at Studio 54 included Andy Warhol, Diana Ross, Calvin Klein, Brooke Shields, and Madonna. The space ceased to exist as a nightclub in 1993 and currently houses the Roundabout Theater, although the upstairs does occasionally host nightclub events on nights when the theater is inactive. Since Studio 54's closure, its name has become synonymous with over the top disco parties and music, and in 2011 Sirius Radio hosted a "One Night Only Party" in the original space recreating the club as it was in its heyday in order to launch their namesake radio station.
