Broadway's largest theatre. Home of Wicked since 2003.
The short version
The Gershwin opened as the Uris on November 28, 1972 (the Nederlander Organization's page). Wikipedia calls it Broadway's largest theatre, with about 1,933 seats. The operator's page puts wheelchair locations in the orchestra and the mezzanine. In our view, centre orchestra is the seat to want, the front of the mezzanine is worth pricing against it, and any seat marked partial view on the official seat map is worth checking before you buy.
