About
The Broadway Theatre is one of a select few legitimate theaters that was originally built as a movie house. Its seating capacity of 1,765 made it ideal for the changeover to musical theater in 1930. It showed movies for a brief period again in the 1950s but has been a legitimate theater ever since.
It is currently owned and operated by the Shubert Organization and continues to be one of the largest Broadway theaters.
Late Seating Policy
Latecomers are seated at suitable breaks in the performance in conveniently reachable seat locations at the discretion of management.
