Studio 54

Studio 54 is a theatre building on West 54th Street in Manhattan with an orchestra level holding 519 seats and a balcony section with 487 seats, totaling 1006 seats. The two levels are connected by wide aisles and offer visitors views of the stage from different heights.

Architect Eugene De Rosa designed the building, which opened in 1927 as the Gallo Opera House. CBS took it over in 1942 and converted it into a television studio before it returned to theatrical use decades later.

The Roundabout Theatre Company stages rotating productions that draw loyal audiences from across Manhattan and beyond. Many visitors return several times a year to experience new shows and the atmosphere that comes with attending a performance in this setting.

The venue offers access for people with disabilities, air conditioning, and refreshment stands in the public areas. On performance days the box office stays open longer to answer questions and serve walk-up visitors.

In addition to the main hall, a space called Upstairs at 54 sits on the second floor and a cabaret called 54 Below occupies the basement. These two smaller venues expand the program and offer more intimate performances in a different setting.
