Broadway's Helen Hayes Theatre on West 44th Street turns 100 on March 12. Martin Markinson and Jeff Tick, who own and operate the venue — first called The Little Theatre back in 1912 — will celebrate with a toast with friends, staff and guests. A more formal private centennial celebration is planned for May 24.
