Al Hirschfeld Theatre

Wikipedia says the Al Hirschfeld Theatre opened in 1924 as the Martin Beck Theatre and was renamed in 2003 for the Broadway illustrator Al Hirschfeld. Its exterior and interior are New York City landmarks, designated in 1987. It hosted Moulin Rouge! The Musical from 2019 until that show closed on August 30, 2026.

The Broadway League’s Internet Broadway Database (IBDB) gives it about 1,424 seats, which makes it a mid-sized house. Ambassador Theatre Group’s access page puts all accessible seating in the orchestra, which has no steps from the sidewalk, and the mezzanine on the second level, 20 steps up from the orchestra, with 7 more steps from the mezzanine lobby to its entrance behind row D and 28 more to the rest of the level. There are no elevators or escalators. In our view, centre orchestra is the seat to want, and the front of the mezzanine is worth pricing against it.

Operated by Ambassador Theatre Group (formerly a Jujamcyn Theaters house). Address: 302 W 45th St, just west of Eighth Avenue.
