Neil Simon Theatre
250 W 52nd St, New York, NY 10019
The Neil Simon Theatre opened in 1927 as the Alvin, with Fred and Adele Astaire in Funny Face, and was renamed for the playwright Neil Simon in 1983 (the Nederlander Organization’s page). Its exterior and interior are New York City landmarks, designated in 1985. MJ the Musical opened here in 2022.
The operator’s page gives it 1,445 seats and says only orchestra seats need no steps; mezzanine and box seats need stairs, and there is no elevator or escalator to the mezzanine. 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: 250 W 52nd St, on the same street as the August Wilson (245 W 52nd St).
