The short version
The Nederlander Theatre (208 W 41st St) opened in 1921 as the National Theatre and was the Billy Rose and the Trafalgar before it was renamed in 1980 for David Tobias Nederlander. The Nederlander Organization's page gives it 1,232 seats and says only orchestra seats need no steps, that mezzanine and box seats need stairs, and that the theatre has no elevator. In our view, centre orchestra is the seat to want, and the front of the mezzanine is worth pricing against it.
