When did a list of specific theaters as "Broadway" theaters become official? And is there a list somewhere of theaters that formerly had that status but have either closed or have lost that status? - Jmabel | Talk 15:05, 12 October 2017 (UTC)
By the way, I've created a Commons gallery Commons:Broadway theatre buildings. This may be useful in identifying which Broadway theaters could use a better picture. The Circle in the Square has none at all (nor does its old downtown location) and the one image en-wiki has of the Marquis Theatre is specifically not supposed to be transferred to Commons, so it isn't readily usable by the other Wikipedias. - Jmabel | Talk 15:08, 12 October 2017 (UTC)
I'm tempted to add a column to the table in the " Broadway theatres and current productions" section that shows the year each theater opened, but (a) that table has quite a few columns already and an additional column might make it less readable/useful, and (b), that seems like something I maybe shouldn't do without getting a consensus of this article's editors first.
Perhaps it would actually be better to break that table into two: one that lists current productions (indicating the name of their theater), and another, perhaps in a separate section, that lists all of the current and former theaters and their relevant details.
A third option (which I think I like best), would be to have a new article at List of Broadway Theatres (spelling to be determined/debated), with sections for current and former theaters and columns summarizing all the relevant details. I've made a mockup of what such a list article might look like, based on the content of Template:Broadway theatres here: User:Dave314159/List of Broadway Theatres (Draft). The Broadway Theatres template has the extant former Broadway theatres as their own section, so perhaps it would be desirable to preserve that organization in the list article, but I only thought of that after the mock-up was substantially complete. There are a number of red-linked articles in the template, and filling out the table of defunct theaters could form the basis for stubs for those articles. (Would it perhaps be desirable to have the template entries link to the relevant row of the table in the list article, with the red link preserved in the table itself? Is that even doable?)
What do people think?

The latest subcategory under the "History" tab is the 1980s. Not only is this, by itself, due for an update, but seeing as the recent closing of Broadway is both historical and unprecedented, there is certainly just cause to update the history of Broadway theatre to include the impact of COVID-19. This is still a developing situation, so it may be wise to hold off on this update until the ramifications are clear and the dust seems to have settled. However, this would still make for an appropriate addition once the time is right. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.99.234.189 ( talk) 05:32, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
This whole section, up and to the first mention of the Covid 19 pandemic, makes no reference to the Theatre and would perhaps better be located in Broadway (Manhattan). I don't see how it is relevant. Any objections to its removal? Mark E ( talk) 13:49, 29 March 2022 (UTC) Edit to add: I note this is a fairly recent addition, but if we are to update the history section, it should be related to the theatre, not around traffic and street reconfiguations.
