Built on the site of the former Olympia Theatre, which had been torn down in 1935 and replaced by a movie theatre, the Criterion. In 1989, it was remodeled to make room for a legit theatre.

But, in 1999, the building owners sent Roundabout packing, closing the theatre, and completely remodeling the space to accomodate an enormous Toys "R" Us store.
