In 1968, the Martin Beck Estate sold the theatre to Jujamcyn. In 2003, it was renamed the Al Hirschfeld in honor of the caricaturist-cartoonist who had chronicled live theatre for seventy-five years. His hundredth birthday was the date chosen to change the name but, sadly, he did not live to see the theatre renamed.")
