blend of sideshow, burlesque and rockabilly known as
Broadville entertainment.
The Pretty Things Peepshow is please to present their
show at Theatre 80. With a rich history this east
village institution is the perfect place to showcase
this unique form of entertainment. Beginning during
Prohibition, 80 Saint Marks Place was a vital
destination for performers of all kinds. Jazz greats
such as Thelonious Monk, Harry “Sweets” Edison, John
Coltrane and Frank Sinatra performed there before
Theatre 80 was established in the former nightclub.
The tradition of excellence continues at Theatre 80
where the careers of many famous performers were
launched. Some of the famous names are Gary Burghoff,
Bob Balaban and even one of their ushers, Billy
Crystal. It was also visited by a host of great names
in theater, many of whom left their names, foot and
hand prints in the cement of our sidewalk. A partial
list includes Gloria Swanson, Joan Crawford, Myrna
Loy, Ruby Keeler, Joan Blondell, Kitty Carlisle, Allan
Jones, Winnie Shaw and Fifi D’Orsay. Recently, Joan
Rivers added her name to the list of luminaries
enshrined here.
