Did you mean Broadway, New York?
assistant
Yes, I did.
user
The Broadway in New York was opened in 1771.
assistant
Somebody else said the Broadway theater was established in 1750, not 1771.
user
I don’t have a lot of information on that, but I think what the other person was referring to is the Longacre Square theater, in New York.   That was established in 1750, but it was eventually re-branded as the ‘Broadway theater’.
assistant
Oh okay.  Who founded Broadway theatre?
user
I think that John Durang founded Broadway theatre.   I’m not sure exactly when he founded it, but it was definitely in the 18th century.
assistant
I am not sure if your information was correct.  According to what I read online, Thomas Kean and Walter Murray founded Broadway theater, not John Durang.
user
I didn’t say it was John Durang.  I said that John Durang founded Broadway theatre.  At least, that’s what I’ve heard.
assistant
Yes, that was what you said.  But it was wrong, according to a different source of information.
