The short version
The Lena Horne opened on February 15, 1926 as the Mansfield Theatre, was renamed for the New York Times critic Brooks Atkinson in 1960, and on November 1, 2022 became the Lena Horne Theatre, the first Broadway theatre named for a Black woman (the Nederlander Organization's page). That page gives it 1,069 seats and says only orchestra seats need no steps, that mezzanine and box seats need stairs, and that the theatre has no elevator or escalator. Its exterior and interior are New York City landmarks, designated in 1987. In our view, centre orchestra is the seat to want, and the front of the mezzanine is worth pricing against it.
