I forgot about the New Amsterdam. I understand why you say that a few plays in the 1930s don't count, but I don't think I agree. (Actually, there were a lot of plays performed over the course of its history as a theatre, although many of them were for very short runs as part of repertories of companies that played brief seasons there.) I don't think I agree because the theatre as it is now is pretty similar to what it it was in the 1930s and earlier. Wasn't the renovation to restore it to what it had been like? I think you could make a case that the Lunt-Fontanne is basically a different theatre than the Globe because the renovation was an extreme one, but the New Amsterdam is essentially the same New Amsterdam.

But perhaps you mean something different, perhaps just that it was not used for theatre for a long time (and wasn't used for anything at all for a long time).
