6. Big Names Have Played There

The marquee on the entrance of the historic St George Theater in Staten Island

Since reopening in 2004, the St. George Theatre has hosted more than 1400 events. Visitors to the St. George have seen local and world renowned talents including musicians like Tony Bennett, Cyndi Lauper, The Goo Goo Dolls, comedians like Jerry Seinfeld, and national Broadway tours including Peter Pan, Cats, and many more!

One of the St. George’s enduring traditions is the annual Christmas show that is put on every year during the holiday season. Going on nearly twenty years, the yearly spectacular features more than 100 volunteer performers and serves as a fundraiser for St. George Theatre Restoration, Inc. A highlight of the show is seeing the Richmondettes, a group of high-kicking dancers from  dance companies across Staten Island. Check out the upcoming schedule at the St. George Theatre!
