Is there a reason you're suggesting for renaming it, other than politics? I think it sets a dangerous precendent, similar to the righteous outrage that would occur if the avenues in Harlem were to revert to 6th, 7th and 8th Avenues rather than their named streets.
There are lots more dangerous precedents being broken in the news far more chilling than this. But like the poster above called it, I prefer to think of this theater where I attended many NY City Opera performances, as the NY State Theater.
