About New Amsterdam Theatre

Opened in 1903, the New Amsterdam Theatre is one of Broadway’s oldest surviving legitimate theaters. After decades as a movie house and a period of disrepair, the venue was fully restored and reopened in 1997 under Disney’s stewardship. The theater is owned by the City/State of New York (through its restoration arrangement) and operated under a long-term lease by Disney Theatrical Group, with an approximate capacity of 1,700 seats.

Today, New Amsterdam is closely associated with large-scale Broadway musical productions, particularly Disney Theatrical family musicals. It has a storied legacy as the longtime home of the Ziegfeld Follies in the early 20th century, and it has hosted major Disney hits including The Lion King (its first Broadway home before transferring) and the long-running Mary Poppins. The venue is currently home to Disney Theatrical Group’s Aladdin.

If you’re searching for New Amsterdam Theatre tickets, you’re planning a classic Broadway night in the heart of Times Square.

Location & Transportation

New Amsterdam Theatre is located at 214 West 42nd Street, New York, NY 10036 — in the Times Square Theater District, between Seventh and Eighth Avenues.

Transit: This is an exceptionally transit-rich location in Times Square, and transit is typically the most practical way to arrive. The Times Sq–42nd St / Port Authority complex is steps away, served by the 1, 2, 3, 7, N, Q, R, W, S shuttle, and A, C, E lines. The Port Authority Bus Terminal is nearby, and Grand Central is easily reached via the 7 and shuttle connections.

Driving and Parking: Driving into Times Square is slow and congested, and there is no on-site parking. Several commercial parking garages operate on and around 42nd, 43rd, and 44th Streets, though rates are typically high and traffic is heavy before and after shows.

Rideshare: Rideshare and taxis serve the area, but Times Square’s pedestrian zones, street closures, and post-show crowds can make curbside pickup slow. For a smoother pickup, it often helps to walk a block or two off 42nd Street to a quieter cross street.

Nearby Accommodation: Lodging is dense throughout Times Square and the Theater District, with numerous hotels within a short walk on 42nd through 48th Streets and along Broadway, Seventh Avenue, and Eighth Avenue.

Venue Navigation

New Amsterdam Theatre is a classic Broadway proscenium house with multiple seating levels. Knowing your level and entry flow ahead of time helps you move quickly from the street to your seat—especially on busy Times Square nights.

Entrances and Access: The main entrance is on West 42nd Street between Seventh and Eighth Avenues, under the restored marquee. Guests enter from the street into the lobby and then proceed to the auditorium.

Concourse Levels: The theater is organized across three primary seating levels—Orchestra (ground level), Mezzanine, and Balcony—served by the lobby and interior staircases.

Accessibility: Accessible seating and services are available. Wheelchair-accessible locations and assistive listening are typically offered; contacting the box office in advance is recommended for event-specific accommodations.

Getting to Your Section: Ushers direct patrons to the orchestra, mezzanine, and balcony sections. Upper levels are reached via stairs, so it’s helpful to note your seating level before you arrive so you can head to the correct staircase promptly.

Dining Options

Inside New Amsterdam Theatre

Inside the theater, lobby concession bars typically serve beverages (including alcohol), snacks, and show merchandise—standard for a Broadway house. If you want to minimize time in line, arriving early gives you more flexibility to grab refreshments before you’re seated.

Outside the Venue — Times Square And the Theater District

Just outside the doors, you’re surrounded by Times Square and Theater District dining in every direction. For a classic pre-theater routine, Restaurant Row (West 46th Street) is known for prix-fixe options, and there are plenty of casual choices throughout Times Square. Hell’s Kitchen, a short walk west, is also packed with restaurants for pre-show meals or a post-show bite.

Security & Policies

New Amsterdam Theatre maintains security and venue policies that are updated regularly and may vary by event. Before attending, reviewing the current policy on the venue's official website is strongly recommended.

Bag Policy: Bags are subject to search upon entry. Oversized bags and luggage are discouraged, while smaller personal bags are typically permitted.

Commonly Prohibited Items: Weapons, outside food and drink, and professional recording equipment are generally prohibited. Photography and video during performances are not permitted.

Re-Entry: Patrons who leave during a performance are typically reseated at the discretion of house management, usually at a suitable break.

How Much Do Tickets to New Amsterdam Theatre Cost?

New Amsterdam Theatre ticket prices vary significantly depending on the type of event, the artist or team, seating section, and demand — which is what you'd expect from a venue that hosts everything from standard Broadway performances to premium, high-demand dates.

For Broadway musical standard performances, tickets are commonly found in the approximately $70–$180 range for most seats, depending on location and performance date. For premium/center orchestra seating and high-demand dates, prices can run $200 or more, especially when weekend and holiday performances drive demand.

In general, booking earlier delivers better options at better prices. As inventory shrinks and the performance date approaches, prices for the best remaining sections tend to rise—particularly for weekends and holiday schedules.

New Amsterdam Theatre Seating Guide

Because New Amsterdam Theatre is a traditional proscenium Broadway house with three distinct levels, your seat choice directly shapes how you experience the stage picture—whether you want the full scenic view, closer facial expressions, or strong value pricing.

Best Seats at New Amsterdam Theatre

• Best value: Rear balcony and upper side locations — typically the most affordable way to be in the room while still taking in the full production
• Closest to the action: Front orchestra rows — the nearest seats to the stage for maximum proximity
• Best overall experience: Center orchestra and front-to-center mezzanine — widely favored for balanced sightlines, strong proximity, and a full-stage view
• Premium and suite options: Prime center orchestra seats — these locations commonly carry premium pricing due to their placement and sightlines

Use it to understand your position in the venue, your distance from the stage, and whether you're in the orchestra, the mezzanine, or the balcony — so the tickets you choose match exactly what you're looking for on event night.

Getting Ready for Your New Amsterdam Theatre Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical steps make the night run significantly smoother — especially in Times Square, where crowds, security screening, and street traffic can add time before curtain.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Times Square cell networks can be congested given the crowds. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before departing so you're ready at the entrance without needing a signal.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having for a full evening.
• Arrive early. Times Square foot traffic, security screening, and finding your seat take time, and Broadway curtains are strict—latecomers are held until a suitable break.
• Wear the right footwear. The theater is a multi-level house with staircases to the mezzanine and balcony, and the sidewalks outside can be crowded, so supportive, walk-friendly shoes help.
• Dress in layers. It’s an indoor venue, but you’ll likely spend time walking from transit and standing in post-show crowds, so dressing for the weather outside is smart.
• Know your entrance. With a single main entrance on 42nd Street, entry is straightforward; knowing your seating level helps you choose the right staircase quickly once you’re inside.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue’s guidelines before you pack helps you move through security without delays.
