Minskoff Theatre, Broadway theatre in Times Square, United States
The Minskoff Theatre sits on the third floor of One Astor Plaza and holds 1,710 seats spread across orchestra and balcony levels. The stage is designed to accommodate large musical productions with room for elaborate sets and choreography.
The Minskoff family built the venue in 1973 under a city regulation designed to encourage new performance spaces in this part of Manhattan. It was among the first structures erected under those rules.
The venue takes its name from the family who financed its construction and today serves as home to large-scale musical productions that draw international audiences. Visitors come from around the world to see long-running shows staged with elaborate sets and technical effects.
Escalators rise from street level to the lobby and seating tiers above. A passageway links 44th and 45th Streets through the building.
This venue was the first on Broadway designed with full wheelchair access. It set a new standard for accessibility among performance spaces in the city.
