The short version
The Neil Simon opened in 1927 as the Alvin Theatre and was renamed for Neil Simon in 1983; the Nederlander Organization's page gives it 1,445 seats. Its exterior and interior are New York City landmarks, designated in 1985. There is no elevator or escalator to the mezzanine, and only orchestra seats need no steps. In our view, centre orchestra is the seat to want, and the front of the mezzanine is worth pricing against it.
