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.

“And if the stage-dark head rehearse
The fifth act of the closing night,
Why, cut it off, piece after piece,
And throw the tough cortex away....”
