            The history of the theatre district, better known as Broadway, began well before the eighteen hundred’s. Although, it was the beginning of the twentieth century that saw the establishment of Broadway as we know it today. In eighteen ninety-one the first electric marquis lit up a theatre at the current site of the Flatiron Building. Ten years later the theatre district would be so bright from all the white lights that O.J. Gaude would refer to it as “the great white way”. In the early nineteen hundred’s construction of theatres would condense the district. Today Broadway is contained within a thin strip of Manhattan, from 53^rd to 42^nd streets and between 6^th and 8^th avenues.
