Just last summer, we reported on the mini-museum that’s in the lobby of the iconic Ziegfeld Theatre at 141 W. 54th Street. It seems that part of life here in New York City is living through the ups and downs of rumors about the potential closing of the Ziegfeld. But this time, it appears to be the final nail on the coffin for the largest remaining single-screen theater in Manhattan, and one of the last in the United States. The owners of the theater, The Fisher Brothers, as reported by the New York Post have given the lease to Gotham Events to transform the Ziegfeld into a ballroom, a la Gotham Hall. The newspaper says the venue, currently showing Star Wars: The Force Awakens, will close in the next few weeks.
