The Broadhurst Theatre is a legitimate Broadway theatre located at 235 West 44th Street in midtown Manhattan. <br> It was designed by architect Herbert J. Krapp, one of the major theatre designers of the early 1900s. Built back-to-back with the Plymouth, it was meant to resemble the style of the neighboring Henry B. Herts-designed Shubert and Booth theaters, using less expensive brick and terra cotta materials on the facades. Like all of Krapp's work during this period, it features minimal ornamentation, a single balcony, wide space, and excellent sightlines. Unlike the Majestic Theatre, which has housed The Phantom of the Opera (musical) since 1988, the Broadhurst does not run parallel to the street, but rather the stage is perpendicular. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org" target="new">Source</a>

Climb the steps to experience a beloved character brought vividly to life on stage, drawing from P.I. Travers' imagination and the cherished 1964 Disney film. The production wraps the Sherman brothers' Oscar-winning melodies alongside fresh compositions by George Stiles and Anthony Drewe, with Julian Fellowes crafting the narrative that guides audiences through the Banks household and their extraordinary nanny's arrival. Richard Lyre directs this visual spectacle with Matthew Bourne handling co-direction and choreography, while Bob Crowley transforms the stage with his set and costume creations. The winter months bring a particular magic to the theater's interiors as audiences gather in from the cold, settling in for the pageantry and whimsy that unfolds across the stage. Howard Harrison's lighting design and Stephen Mear's additional choreography complete an ensemble of celebrated theatrical artists who've shaped this production into something genuinely transportive.

Wintertime brings a particular magic to catching this production—there's something about stepping into the theater's warmth to witness a story so deeply rooted in New York's gilded past. Catherine Sloper finds herself pulled in opposite directions, her father's cold disapproval clashing with a suitor's fiery devotion, and she's forced to reckon with what matters most when wealth and belonging hang in the balance. Jessica Chastain, in her Broadway introduction, shares the stage with David Strathairn, Dan Stevens, and two-time Tony winner Judith Ivey, all navigating Ruth and Augustus Goetz's exploration of how fortune shapes the heart. Directed by Tony-nominated Moisés Kaufman, this drama examines the messy intersection of duty and longing through a distinctly New York lens. The run is limited to eighteen weeks, making this the right moment to experience it.

Where the heart of Times Square pulses with theatrical magic, this sprawling venue transforms into the African plains night after night. Picture yourself settling into one of 1,621 seats as the curtain rises on Disney's adaptation of their beloved 1994 film, complete with Elton John and Tim Rice's Grammy-winning score woven throughout the production. Julie Taymor's visionary direction and design work earned her a Tony, and her imagination practically leaps off the stage—giraffes stride majestically, birds cut through the air, and Pride Rock ascends from the floor as the music swells around you. The story follows young Simba as he grapples with growing up and accepting his place in the circle of life, drawing from African mythology and raw human emotion to create something genuinely fresh for Broadway. When you visit during winter's crisp evenings, there's something particularly enchanting about ducking into this glass-fronted building and escaping into the savanna's warmth and wonder. The modern architecture allows light to pour in from the Great White Way outside, creating an interesting contrast between the bustling city and the wild world unfolding onstage. Six Tony Awards in 1998 recognized it as the year's best new musical, and the production continues to captivate audiences with its blend of elaborate costumes, stunning puppetry, and the kind of theatrical spectacle that doesn't fade with time.

The George Gershwin Theatre is a legitimate Broadway theatre located at 222 West 51st Street in midtown-Manhattan.<br> Designed in an Art Nouveau style by set designer Ralph Alswang, it is situated on the lower levels of a towering office complex built on the side of the historical Capitol Theatre. It opened as the Uris Theatre on November 28, 1972 with the musical Via Galactica starring Raul Julia. It proved to be an inauspicious start for the venue, closing after only seven performances. From 1974-76 it served as a concert hall for limited engagements by a number of legendary pop music and jazz performers. <br> It was the first theatre constructed in New York City since 1928. With a seating capacity of 1933, it presently is the largest theatre on Broadway, with the exception of the New York State Theatre at Lincoln Center and New York City Center.<br> A Theatre Hall of Fame located in the lobby is a popular gathering place for audience members pre-show and during intermission. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org" target="new">Source</a>

It was built by Abraham L. Erlanger, theatrical producer and a founding member of the Theatrical Syndicate, on the site of the original Sardi's restaurant. It opened in 1927 as The Erlanger. Upon Erlanger's death in 1930, control of the venue was taken over by the Astor family, who owned the land on which the theatre stood. The Astors renamed it the St. James Theatre. <br> The theatre was purchased by the Shuberts in the late 1930s. They were forced to sell it to the William L. McKnight in 1957 following the loss of an antitrust case. McKnight renovated the St. James and reopened it in 1958. In 1970, McKnight then transferred the theatre to his daughter Virginia and her husband James H. Binger, who had formed the Jujamcyn Amusement Corporation. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org" target="new">Source</a>

The Palace Theatre is a legitimate Broadway theatre located at 1564 Broadway in midtown-Manhattan.<br> Designed by architects Kirchoff & Rose, the theatre, built by California vaudeville entrepreneur and Broadway impresario Martin Beck, experienced a number of problems before it opened. E. F. Albee, one of the main executives for B. F. Keith and his powerful vaudeville circuit, demanded that Beck turn over three-quarters of the stock in the theatre in order to use acts from the Keith circuit. In addition, Oscar Hammerstein was the only person who could offer Keith acts in that section of Broadway, so Beck paid him off with $225,000. The theatre finally opened on March 24, 1913 with headliner Ed Wynn. To "play the Palace" meant that an entertainer had reached the pinnacle of his career, and it became a popular venue with performers like Sarah Bernhardt, Eddie Cantor, Bob Hope, Fanny Brice, Sophie Tucker, George Jessel, and Jack Benny. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org" target="new">Source</a>

Step into a piece of Broadway history at this stunning 1921 theater, where legendary performances from Cyrano de Bergerac to Lena Horne's Tony Award-winning triumph have captivated audiences for over a century. Today, it remains a jewel of Times Square, continuing the Nederlander family's tradition of showcasing world-class theater and entertainment in one of America's most iconic venues.

The Longacre Theatre is a Broadway theatre located at 220 West 48th Street in midtown Manhattan.<br> Designed by architect Henry B. Herts, it was named for Longacre Square, the original name for Times Square. The French neo-classical building was constructed by impresario Harry Frazee, better remembered as the owner of the Boston Red Sox who, needing money for his theatrical ventures, sold Babe Ruth's contract to the New York Yankees. A curse allegedly lingers on the theater as a result, and superstitious producers avoid it for fear they'll be backing a flop, as noted by William Golden in his seminal book The Season. Despite the rumor, a large number of performers who have appeared on stage here have taken home a Tony Award for their efforts.<br> The Longacre's first show was a production of the William Hurlbut-Frances Whitehouse comedy Are You a Crook?, which opened on May 1, 1913. With the exception of its use as a television studio in the mid-1940s to early 1950s, the theatre has operated as a legitimate Broadway venue. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org" target="new">Source</a>

The fourth New York City venue to be christened the Winter Garden, it opened on March 10, 1911 with the early Jerome Kern musical La Belle Paree. <br/> It was completely remodeled in 1922 by Herbert J. Krapp. The large stage is wider than those in most Broadway houses, and the proscenium arch is relatively low.

The Lyceum Theatre is a legitimate Broadway theatre located at 149 West 45th Street in midtown-Manhattan.<br> It has the distinction of being the oldest surviving Broadway venue (along with the New Amsterdam Theatre), the oldest continuously operating legitimate theatre in New York City, and the first Broadway theatre ever to be granted landmark status. It is one of the few theatres in New York to operate under its original name.<br> The theatre maintains most of its original Beaux-Arts design, including its elaborate marble staircases and undulating marquee. Although it has three levels, it is one of the smallest Broadway theatres in terms of capacity, seating only 950.

The Ambassador Theatre is a legitimate Broadway theatre located at 219 West 49th Street in midtown-Manhattan.<br> Designed by architect Herbert J. Krapp for the Shuberts, the structure is unusual in that it is situated diagonally on its site to fit the maximum number of seats possible.

The building has been designated a New York City landmark.<br> The theatre opened on February 11, 1921 with the musical The Rose Girl. The Shuberts sold the property in 1935, and for the next two decades it was used as a movie theater and television studio for NBC and the DuMont Television Network.

It opened on October 21, 1913 with a series of Shakespearean plays, including Othello, Hamlet, and The Merchant of Venice, staged by the Forbes-Robertson Repertory Company. <br> The theatre's most famous and longest tenant was A Chorus Line, with a run of 6137 performances lasting nearly fifteen years. <br> The top floor of the building houses the offices of the Shubert Organization.

Step into this piece of Broadway history where the winter crowds gather to catch Cat on a Hot Tin Roof through March 30th. Built back in 1924 as the 46th Street Theatre, the venue got its current name in 1990 to celebrate Richard Rodgers, the composer whose fingerprints shaped Broadway's golden era. The marquee has lit up countless nights featuring Anything Goes, Guys and Dolls, Damn Yankees, How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, Nine, Chicago, and Movin' Out. A 2006 refresh brought the space back to life, and now the Richard Rodgers Gallery showcases artifacts tracing the legendary songwriter's legacy across the walls. With 1,319 seats, it's one of the nine Broadway homes managed by the Nederlander Organization, offering that intimate yet grand feeling you get when you're bundled up outside before ducking into the warmth and magic of live theater.

Head to this intimate Broadway venue tucked along West 49th Street in midtown Manhattan where irreverent comedy takes center stage. The Book of Mormon, a wickedly funny musical collaboration between South Park's Trey Parker and Matt Stone alongside Tony-winning composer Robert Lopez, pairs two earnest young missionaries with a destination that couldn't be further removed from their Utah roots. Parker and Casey Nicholaw jointly direct this production that's earned multiple Emmy accolades for its creators and a reputation for leaving audiences laughing through the winter nights when the theater's warm glow becomes a welcome refuge from the cold streets outside. The building itself carries over a century of theatrical history within its walls. Herbert J. Krapp's architectural vision birthed this space in 1925 as part of a grander theater-hotel development honoring 19th century actor Edwin Forrest. Through its various incarnations—first as the Coronet, then renamed after American playwright Eugene O'Neill in 1959—the venue has hosted countless productions. Playwright Neil Simon once owned the space before Jujamcyn Theatres acquired it in 1982, adding another layer to its storied Manhattan legacy.

The Biltmore Theatre is a legitimate Broadway theatre located at 261 West 47th Street in midtown-Manhattan.<br> In 1987, a fire struck the Biltmore. The blaze, which was later determined to be an act of arson, destroyed the interior. After the fire, the building would sit vacant for fourteen years, suffering more structural damage from water and vandals. The theatre's ownership changed hands several times between 1987 and 2001, but most plans proposed for its future use - such as a showcase for "Best of Broadway" revues - were rejected since its New York City landmark designation required it to operate only as a legitimate Broadway house if renovated. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org" target="new">Source</a>

The Cort Theatre is a legitimate Broadway theatre located at 138 West 48th Street in midtown-Manhattan. The Shuberts purchased the theatre in 1927.<br> Designed by Thomas W.

A permanent home has long been a dream for the Roundabout Theatre Company. Since its establishment in 1965, Roundabout had moved from location to location, always searching for the next stop in what seemed to be a never-ending journey for permanency. From West 26th Street to West 23rd Street, from East 17th Street at Union Square then on to the Criterion Center, Roundabout seemed destined to live up to its name far too literally. All that changed in 1997, when The New 42nd Street Development project, backed by the City and State of New York, offered the historic Selwyn Theatre to Roundabout.

Since 1927, this theatre was known as the Alvin. It was renamed in 1983 to honor America’s most prolific playwright, Neil Simon, following the successful engagement of Brighton Beach Memoirs, the first play of an autobiographical trilogy about his youth with his family. Fittingly, in 1985, the second play of Mr. Simon’s trilogy, Biloxi Blues played there successfully. In 1992, Mr. Simon returned again with his play, Jake’s Women. <br> Since 2000, the Neil Simon has been filled with music and dancing as the home to two of Broadway’s most popular productions, namely the acclaimed revival of The Music Man and, currently, the Tony Award®-winning Best Musical, Hairspray. <br> The Neil Simon Theatre has 1,445 seats and is one of The Nederlander Organization’s nine Broadway theatres.

Home to two of Manhattan’s most unique event spaces. The Hammerstein and The Grand offer an elegant setting for events of all kinds. With in-house recording studios, television studios and video post production facilities, the Manhattan Center has what it takes to make your next event a complete multimedia experience.<br> Located at 311 West 34th Street, the historic Manhattan Center building still stands over 100 years after it was first built as the Manhattan Opera House by Oscar Hammerstein I in 1906. Hammerstein built the opera house with the bold intention to take on the established Metropolitan Opera by featuring cheaper seats for the ordinary New Yorker. The Manhattan Opera house quickly became an alternative venue for many great operas and celebrated singers to make their debut.

Tucked into Lincoln Center on the Upper West Side rather than the hustle of Times Square, this Manhattan venue at 150 W. 65th Street pushes back against traditional theater design. Eero Saarinen's Finnish-American vision shaped the space with an amphitheater layout and thrust stage that break the mold of classic Broadway houses. Two distinct performance spaces operate here: the main hall holds just over a thousand patrons, while the intimate companion room fits under three hundred. Winter visits offer a particularly special experience, with the surrounding plaza dressed in seasonal light and the theaters providing a warm cultural refuge during the colder months. The venue qualifies for Tony recognition despite its unconventional location away from the Theater District, hosting both dramatic productions and larger-scale musicals across its unique architectural footprint.
