Program Details
These performances did not take place because the Winter Garden was destroyed by fire the morning of March 23, 1867.
Romeo and Juliet was to be performed in the afternoon, the remainder of the program here listed in the evening.
The New York Times announces this as “the first benefit in New-York of Mr. W.S. Andrews,†but the New York Clipper announces a performance on this day (probably that in the afternoon) as a benefit for Methua-Scheller. The New York Times also notes the imminent departure of Edwin Booth.
