Majestic Theatre, Broadway theatre in Manhattan, United States
The Majestic Theatre is a theater building in the heart of Manhattan's Broadway district, recognizable by its Spanish-inspired facade with terracotta bases and arched windows. A Palladian motif rises above the main entrance, while inside, two levels hold 1645 seats in total.
The Chanin Brothers erected the theater in 1927 as part of a three-venue complex that also included the Royale and Theatre Masque. Herbert Krapp designed the structure with forward-thinking sight lines that were uncommon for Broadway theaters at the time.
For over three decades, this stage hosted the longest-running show on a single Broadway venue, shaping American musical theater. Photos and memorabilia in the entrance area still honor that era, while new productions now bring fresh energy to the hall.
The theater sits on West 44th Street between Seventh and Eighth avenues, within walking distance from Times Square. Assistive listening devices are available at every performance, helping all guests follow the action clearly.
The orchestra seating was built with an unusually steep rake, improving the view to the stage from almost every seat. This solution came decades before stadium-style arrangements became common in theater halls.
