Broadway Theatre

The Broadway Theatre — confusingly named, since it’s one venue among many on Broadway — is a 1,763-seat house operated by the Shubert Organization, currently home to The Great Gatsby since 2024. It sits on Broadway itself (the avenue), at 1681 Broadway near West 53rd Street, slightly uptown from the main Times Square cluster.

It is one of the largest houses on Broadway, and Shubert’s page says its size made it ideal for musical comedies. The Shubert Organization’s figures put 909 seats in the orchestra and 834 on one mezzanine level, two flights up (31 steps), split into a front mezzanine (250) and a much larger rear mezzanine (584), with 20 box seats. In our view, centre orchestra is the premium choice, the front mezzanine is the section to price first for a show with elaborate staging, and the back of the rear mezzanine is better kept for a show you already know than for a first visit.

Address: 1681 Broadway, between West 52nd and 53rd Streets.
