**********
The history of the Edison Ballroom is extensive and illustrious.
Originally opened in the 1930’s as the Grand Ballroom of the adjacent Edison Hotel, it was constructed in a classic art deco motif and offered dining and dancing to its patrons. It featured many famous bands and singers from the Swing era.
A generation later, the ballroom was converted to the Edison Theater, where various Broadway theatrical productions were offered including “Oh! Calcutta!” which ran for a record 13 years. And in 1991, the Edison Theater was converted to the famous Supper Club, which offered dinner and dancing to the music of many “big-band” style orchestras.
This historical venue reopened in 2008 after a multi-million dollar renovation that preserved its original flair and art deco style.
