The Liberty Theatre was a Broadway theater from 1904 to 1933,[1] located at 236 West 42nd Street in New York City.
In 1996 it was used for a staged reading of T. S. Eliot's poem The Waste Land, with actress Fiona Shaw, directed by Deborah Warner. The New York Times review described the theater as "derelict".[2] The facade of the Liberty theater was later absorbed into Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum, which is part of the Forest City Ratner entertainment complex.[3]
