“Special mention should be made to CBS – ED SULLIVAN THEATER, United States by Design Republic which was commended by the judges. The Landmarked Preserved CBS Ed Sullivan Theatre located at 1679-1699 Broadway, is historically known as the home of The Ed Sullivan Show and the site of The Beatles’ US debut performance. It has also housed David Letterman’s tenure on CBS’ Late Show from 1993 to 2015. The theatre currently houses The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the second incarnation of the Late Show franchise. The long-needed renovations came at a perfect time between the two hosts’ tenures. Chris commented: “It is a great, theatrical restoration project, it’s about the entertainment and they’ve been very gutsy in what they have done and I think they have done it brilliantly.”
