NYC's legendary disco Studio 54 opened exactly 33 years ago this week - and people are STILL talking about it. Studio (along with Paradise Garage and The Saint) is one of those clubs I wish I'd been able to experience first-hand. After all, rubbing shoulders with Liza, Andy and Bianca would have been awesome...
Actually, I WAS able to see to Studio 54 once. In the mid-90's it re-opened briefly as a nightclub before becoming a full-time Broadway theater. I checked it out on Gay Night (the club is literally 2 blocks away from my apartment) - but it wasn't very exciting. After a few weeks the nightclub shut down for good.
The venue is now the home of the Roundabout Theatre Company.
