Walter Kerr Theatre
219 W 48th St, New York, NY 10019
Wikipedia says the Walter Kerr Theatre opened on March 21, 1921 as the Ritz Theatre, that Herbert J. Krapp designed it for the Shubert brothers, and that it was renamed in 1990 for the theatre critic Walter Kerr. Hadestown has played here since 2019.
It is one of the smaller Broadway houses, with 975 seats. Ambassador Theatre Group’s access page puts them on three levels: an orchestra, a mezzanine on the second level (37 steps up) and a balcony on the third (52 steps up); the theatre has no elevator. In our view, centre orchestra is the seat to want, the front of the mezzanine is worth pricing against it, and the balcony is the place to look when price matters more than closeness.
Operated by Ambassador Theatre Group (formerly a Jujamcyn Theaters house). Address: 219 W 48th St.
