Closing of Xenon
Xenon closed in 1984. The interior of the building was razed to make way for a skyscraper; its neo-Georgian facade, landmarked by the city, remains intact. The 1,055-seat Stephen Sondheim Theater was built below ground to replace the original theater space, making it one of only two subterranean houses on Broadway.

Famous quotes containing the word closing:
“Our two eyes do not make our lot better; one serves us to see the good things, the other the evils of life. A lot of people have the bad habit of closing the first, and very few close the second.”
—Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)
