1913 vaudeville landmark on Times Square; auditorium was lifted 30 feet during the 2018-2024 TSX Broadway renovation to accommodate ground-floor retail. Hosting The Lost Boys musical.

The short version

The Palace opened in 1913, and the Nederlander Organization's page says that for many years it was the preeminent vaudeville theatre in the country; the Nederlanders bought it in 1965 and it became a legitimate theatre in 1966. Its interior is a New York City landmark, designated in 1987, and Wikipedia says it closed in 2018 and was lifted 30 feet in early 2022. The operator's page gives it 1,648 seats on an orchestra, a mezzanine and a balcony, with a passenger elevator connecting all levels. In our view, centre orchestra is the seat to want, and the front of the mezzanine is worth pricing against it.
