The Drama Book Shop Reopening in June
The Drama Book Shop will be reopening on June 10 at its previously announced new location: 266 West 39th Street. The shop—which had been a major part of the theatre community in New York—was going to close permanently. But The Drama Book Shop was saved in a last minute purchase in 2019 by Hamilton collaborators Lin-Manuel Miranda, Thomas Kail, Jeffrey Seller, and James L. Nederlander. The new location was designed by Hamilton scenic designer David Korins, paying homage to 20th century European cafes and reading rooms. If you’re planning a visit to the shop, you can book a priority entrance time at DramaBookShop.com. The store will be open 9 AM–8 PM on weekdays, 10 AM–8 PM on Saturdays, and noon–6 PM Sundays.
