What is the name and address of the person who is in charge of all the
Broadway Theaters in New York.  I think it may be Netherlands
Corporation.  I had a big problem at a theater in New York and spoke
to a manager.  I want to know the highest person up that I can address
a letter of complaint to.

There is no person or company that is "in charge of all the Broadway
theaters in New York."  The owner of by far the most Broadway theaters
in New York is a company that with a name that is close to the name
you remember.  I can give you the name of the head of that
organization.  Would that be a satisfactory answer?  If so, please
include the name of the theater you are referring to so that I can be
absolutely sure that ut us owned by that organization.
