Walter Kerr Theatre
Arts & Culture · New York, NY
About
Unlike many Broadway houses that prioritize seating capacity over sightlines, the Walter Kerr Theatre offers a more intimate experience. This art-deco gem, built in 1928, has a reputation for hosting award-winning plays and musicals in its roughly 970-seat auditorium. The interior features restored decorative details that make it a standout among Times Square venues.
You'll find the box office open until 8pm most nights, with Sunday hours starting at noon. Free wifi is available inside, which is rare for a Broadway theater. If you're exploring the area, the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) is a short walk away for pre- or post-show culture.
