Gershwin Theatre
222 W 51st St, New York, NY 10019
The Gershwin Theatre opened as the Uris on November 28, 1972 (the Nederlander Organization’s page). It is named for the composer George Gershwin and his brother, the lyricist Ira Gershwin, and its rotunda holds the Theater Hall of Fame. Wikipedia calls it Broadway’s largest theatre, with about 1,933 seats on two levels, an orchestra and a mezzanine.
Wicked has played here since 2003. The operator’s page puts wheelchair locations in the orchestra and the mezzanine, and says there is “a minimum of 10 stairs to access rows BB–Q in the Orchestra”. In our view, centre orchestra is the seat to want, and the front of the mezzanine is worth pricing against it.
Operated by the Nederlander Organization. Address: 222 W 51st St.
