The Gershwin Theater currently houses the play 'Wicked'. The theater is located at 222 W. 51st St, New York City, NY 10019. Its web address is www.gershwin-theater.com. The theater's name honors the memories of Israel Gershowitz ka Ira Gershwin [December 6, 1896-August 17, 1983], and of Jacob Gershowitz ka George Gershwin [September 26, 1898-July 11, 1937]. Its choice as the location for 'Wicked' is particularly apt. For Ira Gershwin was a Townsend Harris High School classmate of Isidore Hochberg ka Edgar Yipsel Harburg [April 8, 1896-March 4, 1981]. His musical collaborations helped give Harburg the solid, successful track record that led to Harburg's being chosen to write all of the memorable songs to the beloved 1939 film version of 'The Wizard of Oz'. And the book 'Wicked' and the play of the same name successfully draw on some of those original Oz characters.

What is a receiving theater?
A receiving theatre is exactly what its name implies. It does not produce its own plays, it just houses shows that are being produced by others. Most of the time, this is a place such as the Temple Buell Theatre in Denver, or the Fox Theatre in St. Louis, where national tours of Broadway productions play. However, most Broadway theatres are considered receiving houses, because the owners of the theatres are essentially realty companies and have no hand in producing the shows that run in their theatres.
