New Amsterdam Theater, New York City, New York

Between 1993-1996, David led Disney’s development team on the $36 million renovation and restoration of New Amsterdam Theatre in New York City. This award-winning project, which was designed by Hugh Hardy, led to the broader rebirth of 42nd Street accomplished by the 42nd Street Development Project Inc. -- a joint city-state agency -- and numerous private entities including AMC Theaters and Madame Tussaud’s. The restored art-moderne masterpiece was the home of Disney’s blockbuster Lion King for 10 years.
