#73 Webster Hall 'The Devil's Playhouse'

The Bowery Boys: New York City History - En podcast af Tom Meyers, Greg Young - Fredage

Webster Hall, as beautifully worn and rough-hewn as it was during its heyday in the 1910s and 20s, disguises a very surprising past, a significant venue in the history of the labor movement, Greenwich Village bohemia, gay and lesbian life, and pop and rock music. Its ballroom has hosted the likes of Emma Goldman, Marcel Duchamp, Elvis Presley, Robert F Kennedy and Madonna. Listen in to find out how it got it's reputation as 'the devil's playhouse'. www.boweryboyspodcast.com Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/boweryboys
