About the Venue
The Lena Horne Theatre opened in 1926 as The Mansfield Theatre. It was one of six venues built by the Chanin Brothers and designed by Herbert J. Krapp.
In 1960, previous owner Michael Myerberg renamed the theater after veteran The New York Times theater critic Brooks Atkinson. This was the first time that a legitimate Broadway theater had been named after a theater critic. It is now owned by the Nederlander Organization, which recently renovated the venue and renamed it in honor of Lena Horne in 2022.
Concessions
There are bars located in the Mezzanine lobby where mixed drinks, sodas, and candy can be purchased. However, water and drinks with tops (souvenir cups) are the only beverage that are permitted in the auditorium.
The bars begin serving patrons 30 minutes before the performance begins.
