Broadway Theaters in New York City
The forty venues listed below are recognized (by virtue of location, size, and history) as Broadway theaters in New York City.
Most Broadway theaters are in midtown Manhattan, on the west side between 41st and 54th Streets. One outlier, the Beaumont at Lincoln Center, is on 65th Street. Here's a map of all current Broadway shows and Broadway theaters.
Broadway shows are often quite grand, with spectacular productions and casts that often include well-known performers, but Broadway theaters are relatively intimate. They range in size from 500 to 1,900 seats - smaller than most regional venues that present Broadway touring shows, and dramatically smaller than the 6,000-seat Radio City Music Hall.
Only shows presented in Broadway theaters can be marketed as "Broadway shows," and only those shows (and the artists associated with them) are eligible for Broadway's most prestigious prize, the Tony Award.

 | Al Hirschfeld Theatre (seating chart)
302 West 45th Street |
Restored and renamed in 2003 to honor the long-time Broadway caricaturist (who died a few months prior, at 99), this theater is the only Broadway venue in the Times Square area located west of Eighth Avenue. It first opened in 1924 and was designed to be the most lavish theatre of its time. Past productions include Orson Welles in "Romeo & Juliet," Geraldine Page and Paul Newman in "Sweet Bird of Youth," and Stephen Sondheim's "Into the Woods." More recently, it has been home to Best Musical nominee "Curtains" and Best Musical Revival winner "Hair." |
|
| There are no steps into the theatre from the sidewalk. Seating is accessible to all parts of the Orchestra without steps. The Mezzanine is located up a flight of stairs (20 steps). There is a wheelchair accessible restroom located on the lobby level. There is a men's restroom located on the Mezzanine level. A ladies' restroom is located on the lower lounge (down 18 steps). An assisted listening system is available. "Kinky Boots" offers $37 General Rush tickets on the day of performance when the box office opens. Locations may be partial view. Limit 2 tickets per person. Subscriber Tips: Avoid the Orchestra behind row R, or you may be keeping company with the sound technicians. The Mezzanine is one of the deepest on Broadway, and while the top price point sometimes extends back to row P, it’s really not worth it past row K. Avoid double-digit seats above 16 in Orchestra and Mezzanine, as they’re off to the side. The Mezzanine overhangs Orchestra row J. The seating capacity of the Al Hirschfeld Theatre is 1,437.
|  | Ambassador Theatre (seating chart)
219 West 49th Street |
Built in 1919, this is one of the few theatres situated diagonally to the street in order to take advantage of limited real estate. Between 1935 and 1955, it served as a movie theatre and television studio, but returned to legitimate use when "The Diary of Anne Frank" transferred from the Cort Theatre. The original production of "Godspell" played its Broadway run here, Gregory Hines wowed audiences in "Eubie," and Rosemary Harris won a Tony for "The Lion in Winter." Recently, it's been home to "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown," "Bring in 'Da Noise, Bring in 'Da Funk," and "Topdog/Underdog." |

Standing Room Only admission is available for $26.50 at the box office, day of performance, only when the performance is sold out. Subscriber Tips: The Ambassador is a very wide theater, so avoid two-digit seat numbers over 18 in the Orchestra and 12 in the Mezzanine. (Side seating is numbered outwards from the two central aisles.) Try to avoid the first row of the Orchestra (it's too close). The Mezzanine overhangs Orchestra row H. The seating capacity of the Ambassador Theatre is 1,088.
|  | American Airlines Theatre (seating chart)
227 West 42nd Street |
Originally opened as the Selwyn Theatre in 1918, this venue hosted major musical and dramatic productions such as Cole Porter's "Wake Up and Dream." In the years since, it fluctuated between cinematic and theatrical use, eventually falling into disrepair. In 1997, the Roundabout Theater Company restored the theatre to its former glory, preserving the original murals, ornamental plasterwork, and the theatre boxes. It has since seen productions including the Broadway premieres of "After Miss Julie" and "Everyday Rapture." |

|  | August Wilson Theatre (seating chart)

The theatre is narrow enough that even the side seats are relatively central, but avoid side Orchestra seats higher than 8. Generally, prime Orchestra seating ends around row U. The “Front” mezzanine goes back to row G, but seating is good up to about row M for "Jersey Boys" in particular.
|  | Barrymore Theatre (seating chart)
243 West 47th Street |
Named for Ethel Barrymore, the stage has seen some of the most riveting drama to play Broadway, including the original productions of "A Streetcar Named Desire" and "A Raisin in the Sun." Ms. Barrymore opened the theatre in a production of "The Kingdom of God" in 1928. Although the Shuberts built many theatres over the years intended for specific performers, this is the only surviving theatre that still bears the name of its associated star. In recent years, the Barrymore has seen productions of "The Glass Menagerie" and "Speed-the-Plow." |

It opened as the Stuyvesant Theatre with Antoinette Perry in "A Grand Army Man." Mr. Belasco's ghost was long-rumored to haunt the place until the nudie-revue "Oh, Calcutta" played the house in the 1970's. More recently, the venue was home to the starry cast of "Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown." |

The Mezzanine overhangs Orchestra row H. The seating capacity of the Booth Theatre is 766.
|  | Broadhurst Theatre (seating chart)
235 West 44th Street |

|  | Broadway Theatre (seating chart)

It was renovated extensively in both 1956 and 1986. Beginning in 1991, it was home to the megamusical "Miss Saigon," complete with a helicopter entrance in Act II.

Afterward, it housed Lillian Gish in "Uncle Vanya," Katherine Hepburn in "As You Like It," and Geraldine Page in "The Rainmaker." The Cort can be seen in the 1969 Mel Brooks movie "The Producers" as the home for the fictional Nazi musical "Springtime for Hitler." Along this line of irreverence, the Cort recently hosted comedian Will Ferrell as George W. Bush in "You're Welcome, America." |

|  | Foxwoods Theatre (seating chart)
213 West 42nd Street |
This theatre was built between 1996 and 1998 by combining the architecture of the old Apollo and Lyric Theatres. Today, patrons sit under the dome from the Lyric and proscenium arch from the Apollo. The vastness of the stage and house is conducive to the mega-musicals that have played there, like "Jesus Christ Superstar," "Ragtime," "42nd Street," and "Young Frankenstein." Formerly known as the Ford Center, and then the Hilton Theatre, the Foxwoods Theatre was the first Broadway venue to accept corporate sponsorship. |
|
| There are no steps into the theatre from the sidewalk. Wheelchair accessible seating is located in Row G of the Dress Circle only. There are elevators to the Dress Circle, but no other levels. Wheelchair accessible restrooms are located in Dress Circle lobby. "Spider-Man, Turn Off The Dark" offers General Rush tickets for $39 on the day of performance when the box office opens. Subject to availability. Limit 2 tickets. Subscriber Tips: The theatre is one of Broadway’s largest. The Orchestra is vast, but because of the aerial work in this show, avoid Orchestra seating behind Row T. Also, this makes Side Orchestra and Flying Circle (a fancy show-specific term for "Mezzanine") better than usual choices for this show. In both Orchestra and Flying Circle, avoid double-digit seating above 18. The Flying Circle overhangs at Orchestra row T, so it’s set further back than in most Broadway theatres, and the Balcony overhangs Mezzanine Row B. The seating capacity of the Foxwoods Theatre is 1,829.
|  | Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre (seating chart)
236 West 45th Street |
Built in 1917 as a [relatively] low-cost home for high-brow theatre and originally known as the Plymouth, this theatre has seen the premieres of Robert Sherwood's "Abe Lincoln in Illinois," Neil Simon's "The Odd Couple," and John Barrymore's first Shakespearean role, Richard III. Since being renamed in 2005 for the Chairman of the Shubert Organization, it has hosted a revival of "A Chorus Line," Patrick Stewart in David Mamet's "A Life In The Theatre," and Hugh Jackman in "A Steady Rain." |
| There are no steps into the theatre from the sidewalk. Seating is accessible to all parts of the Orchestra without steps. The Mezzanine is located up a flight of stairs (31 steps).

|  | Gershwin Theatre (seating chart)
222 West 51st Street |
This venue opened as the Uris Theatre in 1972 with the sci-fi extravaganza "Via Galactica" starring Raoul Julia. The stage was graced by the likes of Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, and Count Basie during its years as a concert hall. The theatre was rechristened during the 1983 Tony Awards to honor distinguished American composer George Gershwin.

Additional restrooms are located on the fourth floor. An assisted listening system is available. An “Audio Description” is also available for guests who are blind or partially-sighted. Subscriber Tips: One of the largest theaters on Broadway, it’s also one of the widest, with an Orchestra almost 40 seats across. In both Orchestra and Front Mezzanine, try to stay close to the center and avoid double-digit seating above 26. Fortunately, the cantilever of the mezzanine is very high, so the back third of the Orchestra is not affected by the overhang. In the Mezzanine, avoid double-lettered rows (they are on the extreme sides), and if you are on the shorter side, use caution with row A as a railing may block your view. The Mezzanine overhangs Orchestra row N. The seating capacity of the Gershwin Theatre is 1,900. "Wicked" holds a ticket Lottery for 26 front-row seats beginning two hours prior to curtain for $30. Names are drawn 30 minutes later. Winners must be present, valid photo ID required, limit 2 tickets per winner, cash only.
|  | Golden Theatre (seating chart)
252 West 45th Street |

In the late 1930s, it was acquired by impresario John Golden, who renamed it for himself and operated it as a movie house. It was returned to legitimate use in the mid-1950s and gained a reputation for housing enigmatic plays, from "Waiting for Godot" with E.G. Marshall and Bert Lahr to "The Gin Game" with Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy. Seventy-six years after opening, it housed the award-winning "Avenue Q," another production known for its puppets. |

Limit 2 tickets per person. Subject to availability. Subscriber Tips: One of the smaller houses on Broadway, there’s really not a bad seat. Seats are numbered upwards from the center aisle, so the lower the number, the better. The Mezzanine is cantilevered high enough that the rear Orchestra isn’t claustrophobic, but given a choice, you're better off in the front of the Mezzanine than above row P in the Orchestra. The Mezzanine overhangs Orchestra row L. The seating capacity of the Golden Theatre is 804.
|  | Helen Hayes Theatre (seating chart)
240 West 44th Street |
Also known as the "Little Theatre," this intimate house is in the heart of the theatre district, right next door to Sardi's Restaurant, the legendary showbiz hangout. It featured legitimate plays in the 20's and 30's, and TV shows such as the "Merv Griffin Show" through the 70's.

In the Orchestra, try to avoid seats behind row R, as the overhanging Mezzanine and the distance to the stage makes them less than prime. Avoid double-digit Orchestra seats above 16. The center Front Mezzanine is a very good seat, but beware of extreme side mezzanine. Any seat numbered higher than 6 in sections 1 or 4 of the Front Mezzanine is poor. The Mezzanine hangs over Orchestra row H. The seating capacity of the Imperial Theatre is 1,443.
|  | Jacobs Theatre (seating chart)
242 West 45th Street |
Built in 1927 and originally called the Royale, this venue was renamed in 2005 to honor a long-time industry executive, Bernard B. Jacobs.

|  | Longacre Theatre (seating chart)
220 West 48th Street |
Built in 1912 by Harry Frazee, the Boston Red Sox owner who sold Babe Ruth to the Yankees, this venue is rumored to be cursed. Although a few superstitious backers have avoided it in fear of producing a flop, quite a few Tony Awards have been earned on its stage, including those for recent revivals of "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" (Bill Irwin, Best Actor), "Boeing-Boeing" (Best Revival of a Play), and "La Cage aux Folles" (Best Revival of a Musical.) |

The sightlines are fairly good, but know that two-digit Orchestra seats above 14 and two-digit Mezzanine seats over 18 will be pretty far off to the side. The Mezzanine overhangs Orchestra row H, and the Balcony overhangs the Mezzanine at row B. There are 4 thin structural pipes in the Balcony, between rows B and C, but should not interfere with your view of the stage. The seating capacity of the Longacre Theatre is 1,091.
|  | Lunt-Fontanne Theatre (seating chart)
205 West 46th Street |
Opened as the Globe in 1913 to honor London's Shakespearean playhouse, this venue was originally intended as a beaux-arts house for light musicals. It was renovated in 1958 and renamed in honor of the legendary Broadway acting couple Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne, who appeared here in Durrenmatt's "The Visit" that same year. It has also seen Adele & Fred Astaire in "Apple Blossoms" and Fanny Brice in "The Ziegfeld Follies." Disney took up residence in the theatre from 1999 to 2009 with productions of "Beauty and the Beast" and "The Little Mermaid." |
|

Subscriber Tips: A well-designed mid-to-large sized house, the Lunt-Fontanne has an expansive Orchestra, with good views from as far back as rows X and Y. Avoid double-digit seating in the Orchestra above seat 12 (above 10 if closer than row I) - they're off to the side. Similarly, avoid double-digit seats above 14 in the Front Mezzanine.

|  | Lyceum Theatre (seating chart)
149 West 45th Street |
The oldest continuously operating Broadway venue still in legitimate use, the Lyceum was built in 1903 and was the first Broadway theatre to be granted Landmark status in 1974. If that's not enough, it one of the few theatres in the city still operating under its original name. Prominent performers such as Ethel Barrymore, Billie Burke, and Basil Rathbone have graced the stage. In recent years, it has been home to the ultimate meta-musical "[title of show]" and the new Kander & Ebb musical "The Scottsboro Boys." |
|
| There are no steps from the sidewalk into the theatre. Wheelchair accessible seating is available in the Orchestra only, and an accessible restroom is located on the main level. An assisted listening system is available. Subscriber Tips: Like most old theatres, this one has some definite quirks. First off, while Orchestra is almost always the best bet in this house, avoid any double-digit seating in the Orchestra – it’s way off to the side. Second, the Mezzanine is very high, so purchase those seats only if all good seats in the Orchestra are gone. Once in the Mezzanine, avoid double-digit seating above 18. The Balcony is very deep, so avoid it if you can. Lastly, be prepared for the relatively small seats, as they may seem a little cramped to folks used to modern cinema seats. The Mezzanine overhangs at Orchestra L, and the Balcony overhangs Mezzanine Row C. The seating capacity of the Lyceum Theatre is 922.
|  | Majestic Theatre (seating chart)
245 West 44th Street |

Additional restrooms are Located up 42 steps and down 2 flights (19 steps) in the Lower Lounge. An assisted listening system is available. Subscriber Tips: This is a large theater with one significant quirk. The Mezzanine overhang is low enough that it obstructs a substantial number of seats in the rear Orchestra. The ticketer lists Orchestra row Q and back as "obstructed view," but in reality, you don’t want to sit any further back than row N. (Especially with this show, where some action is staged on catwalks above the stage.) The Front Mezzanine affords a good view, but be wary of double-digit seating above seat number 18, as it will be off to the side. The Mezzanine overhangs Orchestra row J. The seating capacity of the Majestic Theatre is 1,645. When a performance is sold out, "The Phantom of the Opera" offers Standing Room Only tickets for $26.25 at the box office.

|  | Marquis Theatre (seating chart)
1535 Broadway (at 45th Street) |
This theatre is within the gigantic Marriott Marquis hotel at the heart of Times Square.

In its relatively short history, the Marquis has hosted "Damn Yankees," "The Drowsy Chaperone," and Twyla Tharp's tribute to Frank Sinatra "Come Fly Away." But let's not forget, this is the theatre that saw Sutton Foster rise to stardom in "Thoroughly Modern Millie" in 2002. |

|  | Palace Theatre (seating chart)
1564 Broadway |
Built in 1913, it was a top vaudeville theatre - Will Rogers, Eddie Cantor, and Jack Benny all "played the Palace." Allegedly, the ghost of acrobat Louis Borsalino haunts the theatre and can be seen swinging from the rafters when the house is empty. Recently, the Palace has hosted "Legally Blonde: The Musical" - which spawned an MTV reality show, "The Search for Elle Woods" - and a revival of "West Side Story." |
|
| There are no steps into the theatre from the box office. Wheelchair accessible seating is located in the Orchestra only. Wheelchair accessible restrooms are located on the main level. Additional restrooms are located on every level. An assisted listening system is available. Subscriber Tips: One of the larger theatres on Broadway, there are some definite spots to avoid at this venue. Don’t get Center Orchestra seats numbered 123-128 or any seats on the side (numbered 1-10). Row T is about as far back as you want to go in the Orchestra. In the front of the Mezzanine, avoid two-digit seat numbers above 16 and rows above D. The Mezzanine overhangs Orchestra row K, and the Balcony overhangs Mezzanine Row G (so Balcony seating may be preferable to Rear Mezzanine). The seating capacity of the Palace Theatre is 1,740.

It was renamed in 1990 in memory of the composer Richard Rodgers (of Rodgers & Hart and Rodgers & Hammerstein). From 2008 to 2011, it housed Lin-Manuel Miranda's hit musical "In The Heights." |
|
| There are no steps into the theatre from the sidewalk. Wheelchair accessible seating is located in the Orchestra, as they are the only seats that do not involve steps. A wheelchair accessible restroom is located in the theatre’s main lobby. An assisted listening system is available. Subscriber Tips: An interesting feature of this theater is that there is a small rake (incline) to the Orchestra, starting at row J. So rows K, L, and M might be a better pick than rows G or H. Avoid Orchestra seating behind row S or two-digit Orchestra seats above 18 (they’re off to the side). In The Mezzanine, avoid double-digit seating above 20. The Mezzanine overhangs the Orchestra at row J. The seating capacity of the Richard Rodgers Theatre is 1,319.

Must show valid, current college of university ID. Limit 2 tickets per valid ID. Subscriber Tips: This is a very comfortable space, but if we absolutely had to kvetch about something, there's something about the arc of the seating from side to side that makes the rear Orchestra a little tight for our taste, so avoid seats behind Row O and above number 120. In the Mezzanine, avoid any side seating numbered above seat 4. Front Mezzanine includes the "Premier Circle" (Rows AA and BB) and Rows A-B. The Mezzanine overhangs the Orchestra at row G. The seating capacity of the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre is 650.
|  | Shubert Theatre (seating chart)
225 West 44th Street |

Row Q is as far back as you’ll want to be in the Orchestra, and the Mezzanine is good through row F and over to seat 22 on the sides. The Mezzanine overhangs Orchestra row L, and the Balcony overhangs Mezzanine row C. The seating capacity of the Shubert Theatre is 1,460.
|  | St. James Theatre (seating chart)
246 West 44th Street |
On March 31, 1943, a strange new musical opened at this theatre - the songs weren't so much songs as they were sung lines, there was an odd "dream ballet" - It was Rodgers & Hammerstein's "Oklahoma!". On that night, the modern American musical was born. Since then, the St. James has hosted musicals from the rock opera "Tommy," to the musical comedy adaptation of "The Producers" (which won a record-breaking 12 Tony Awards), to Patti LuPone's award-winning performance in "Gypsy." |
| There are no steps into the theatre from the sidewalk. Wheelchair accessible seating is located in the Orchestra only. There is a wheelchair accessible restroom on the main level. Additional restrooms are located in the Mezzanine and Lower Lounge. An assisted listening system is available.
|  | Stephen Sondheim Theatre (seating chart)
124 West 43rd Street |
Opened in 1918, this theatre was originally named for actor-prodcer Henry Miller. Like many, it did time as a movie house and discotheque. It was returned to legitimate use and dubbed The Kit Kat Klub in 1998. The original name returned when "Urinetown" opened in 2001. Closed 2004-2009 during the construction of the Bank of America Tower, it was aquired and renovated by the Roundabout Theatre Company, reopening in 2009 with a revival of "Bye, Bye Birdie." In the spring of 2010, it was renamed for legendary composer and lyricist Stephen Sondheim. |
|
| The venue is fully handicapped accessible and has 20 wheelchair locations. The mezzanine is at street level, with the Orchestra located underground (where two-thirds of the seating is located). There is a spacious lobby bar on the orchestra level, a bar and café at the ground level, and a restaurant on the upper mezzanine. There are 22 fixtures in the women's restrooms (3 times the code requirement) and ten fixtures in the men's (1.5 times the code requirement). Subscriber Tips: Rows A through K in the center section are considered Prime Orchestra (because the Mezzanine overhangs the Orchestra at Row L) and have a higher priced ticket, but the Orchestra is good as far back as Row Q. Avoid double-digit seats above 12 in the Orchestra, all double-digit seating in the Mezzanine. The seating capacity of the Stephen Sondheim Theatre is 1,055.
|  | Studio 54 (seating chart)
254 West 54th Street |
Built in 1927 as an opera house, then used as a TV studio for 30 years, Studio 54 will probably always be best known as a disco-era club, a "modern-day Gomorrah." In 1998, it became a venue for the Roundabout Theatre Company, when the hit revival of "Cabaret" transferred from the Henry Miller's Theatre. Other RTC productions at Studio 54 include "110 in the Shade," "Pal Joey," and "Sondheim on Sondheim." |
| Wheelchair seating is available in the Orchestra only. The Mezzanine is located up 2 flights of stairs (32 steps). A wheelchair accessible restroom is located on the Orchestra level. Additional restrooms are located up 1 flight of stairs in the Mezzanine Lobby.
|  | Walter Kerr Theatre (seating chart)
219 West 48th Street |
Opened as the Ritz Theatre in 1921, it operated as a radio and television studio between 1943 and 1965. The theatre then went vacant until 1971, when it reopened with the musical "Soon," which closed after only 3 performances. In the early 1990s, it was renovated and renamed for a long-time theatre critic. Since, it has housed productions of "Grey Gardens," "A Catered Affair," and "A Little Night Music" (which holds the box office record at this theatre). |
| There are no steps into the theatre from the sidewalk. Seating is accessible to all parts of the Orchestra without steps. Wheelchair accessible seating is in the Orchestra only. The Mezzanine is located up a flight of stairs (34 steps) and the Balcony is located up a flight of stairs from the Mezzanine (15 steps).

|  | Winter Garden Theatre (seating chart)
1634 Broadway (between 50th & 51st Streets) |
Built in 1911 on the site of the American Horse Exchange stables, the theatre saw the premiere productions of "Peter Pan," "42nd Street," "West Side Story," and "Funny Girl." The lavish interior was totally remodeled for the long-running original production of "Cats" which lasted 19 years and 7,485 performances. After it closed, the theatre was restored to its 1920s appearance. Since the restoration, the theatre has been home to ABBA’s "Mamma Mia." |
|
| There are no steps into the theatre from the sidewalk. Seating is accessible to all parts of the Orchestra without steps. Wheelchair accessible seating is in the Orchestra only. The Mezzanine is located up 2 flights of stairs (34 steps). There is a wheelchair accessible restroom on the main level. An assisted listening system is available. "Mamma Mia" offers Student Rush tickets for $31.50 on the day of performance when the box office opens. Valid student ID required, limit 2 tickets per person. When a performance is sold out, Standing Room tickets are available for $21.25 at the box office two hours prior to curtain. Limit 2 tickets. Subscriber Tips: A good rule of thumb for the Winter Garden is to have at least six people between yourself and the wall. Also, be wary of the side front seats - "Mamma Mia" is a very heavily amplified show, and they had to put the speakers somewhere. As for the Mezzanine, we strongly recommend against any odd-numbered one- or two-digit seats – they’re tucked in the back left corner of the theater. Two-digit even numbers above 30 have a similar problem. The Mezzanine overhangs the Orchestra at row O. The seating capacity of the Winter Garden Theatre is 1,526.
