Broadway Theatre, Performing arts theater in Midtown Manhattan, US.
The Broadway Theatre is a theatre building with 1,761 seats across two levels in the heart of Midtown Manhattan. The auditorium includes a wide orchestra section on the ground floor, a mezzanine balcony, and side box rows in Renaissance style.
Eugene De Rosa designed the venue in Italian Renaissance style, and it opened on December 25, 1924, as the Colony Theatre for film screenings. Six years later it switched to stage performances and adopted its current name.
This venue has carried its current name since 1930 and provides space for large musicals with elaborate sets and numerous performers. Visitors often see productions that remain in the program for several years in a row, making it a regular destination for theater fans.
The entrance sits at the corner of Broadway and 53rd Street and offers accessible entry for all guests. Tickets come in several price tiers, with mezzanine seats often costing less than orchestra level.
It belongs to the only three theaters that actually sit directly on Broadway street itself. The other two are the Palace Theatre and the Winter Garden Theatre.
