About Curran Theatre

Curran Theatre is a historic Broadway-style legitimate theater located at 445 Geary Street in San Francisco’s Theater District near Union Square. Opened in 1922, it seats approximately 1,600–1,750 guests depending on configuration and has long been associated with major touring productions in the city. Historically independent under the Curran family and later associated with BroadwaySF programming, the venue was acquired by the San Francisco Giants organization in late 2025, with BroadwaySF continuing to program it.

The Curran is known for touring Broadway musicals and plays, limited-run theatrical engagements, special live performances, concerts, and occasional spoken-word and comedy events. Across more than a century, it has hosted countless national tours, pre-Broadway tryouts, plays, and musicals, including the North American premiere engagement of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Parts One and Two, its longest-running show.

With classic proscenium architecture, a richly decorated interior, and a restored historic lobby, Curran Theatre remains one of San Francisco’s most historic and beloved destinations for first-class touring productions.

Location & Transportation

Curran Theatre is located at 445 Geary Street, San Francisco, CA 94102 — in the city’s Theater District near Union Square.

Transit: Transit is highly practical for Curran Theatre thanks to its downtown San Francisco location. The venue is close to the Powell Street BART and Muni Metro station, numerous Muni bus and streetcar lines, and the Powell-Hyde and Powell-Mason cable car lines near Union Square.

Driving and Parking: Curran Theatre does not have dedicated on-site parking. Multiple public parking garages serve the area, including the Union Square Garage and several Geary, Mason, and O’Farrell Street garages within a short walk. Street parking is scarce, so garages are the practical choice and can fill on busy show nights.

Rideshare: Rideshare drop-off and pickup are widely used around the venue. Expect congestion and short waits immediately after performances as crowds move through the surrounding Theater District streets.

Nearby Accommodation: Union Square and downtown San Francisco offer abundant lodging options, from luxury hotels to mid-range and boutique properties. Many hotels in the area are within walking distance of Curran Theatre, making an overnight stay convenient for visitors attending an evening performance.

Venue Navigation

Curran Theatre has a traditional multi-level theater layout, with guests entering from Geary Street into the historic lobby before continuing to the orchestra, mezzanine, or balcony. Understanding your seating level before arrival helps you move efficiently through an older theater where upper levels involve stairs.

Entrances and Access: The main entrance is on Geary Street through the historic lobby. Guests enter at street level, then proceed from the lobby toward the orchestra, mezzanine, and balcony seating areas.

Seating Levels: Seating is organized across three main levels: orchestra on the main floor, mezzanine above, and balcony at the top. The levels are accessed by lobby stairways and limited elevator service typical of historic houses.

Accessibility: Accessible seating and services are available at Curran Theatre. Because it is a historic building, accessible seating is concentrated on the orchestra level, and guests needing accommodations can arrange them in advance.

Getting to Your Section: Ushers direct patrons to their sections, and upper levels involve stairs typical of an older theater. Knowing whether your seats are in the orchestra, mezzanine, or balcony can make arrival smoother once you are inside the lobby.

Dining Options

Inside Curran Theatre

Inside Curran Theatre, lobby bars offer beverages including alcohol, along with limited concessions typical of a Broadway-style house. For the smoothest experience, plan extra time before curtain if you want a drink or snack before taking your seat.

Outside the Venue — Union Square and the Theater District

The Union Square and Theater District area offers extensive dining within a short walk of Curran Theatre. Restaurants line Geary, Post, and Mason Streets, with additional options in nearby Nob Hill and along the edge of the Tenderloin’s restaurant row. The neighborhood’s dense concentration of pre-theater dining makes it easy to plan dinner or drinks before a performance.

Security & Policies

Curran 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: Bag checks are typical at Curran Theatre. Large bags and backpacks are generally discouraged or prohibited, and policies may vary by production.

Commonly Prohibited Items: Commonly restricted items include weapons, outside food and drink, and professional recording or photography equipment.

Re-Entry: Re-entry is generally not permitted once a performance is underway. Late arrivals are typically seated at designated breaks.

How Much Do Tickets to Curran Theatre Cost?

Curran Theatre ticket prices vary significantly depending on the type of event, the production or performer, seating section, and demand — which is what you'd expect from a venue that hosts everything from touring Broadway plays and musicals to high-demand premium engagements.

For touring Broadway plays and musicals, standard seats are approximately $50–$150, depending on the title, performance date, and seat location within the orchestra, mezzanine, or balcony.

For high-demand or premium engagements, premium center seating can reach $175 or more. Weekends, premieres, limited-run productions, and especially popular titles can drive prices higher as the best remaining inventory tightens.

For popular limited-run productions, buying earlier generally yields better seat selection and pricing. As inventory shrinks and the performance date approaches, prices for the most desirable remaining sections can rise.

Curran Theatre Seating Guide

Curran Theatre’s seating layout is worth understanding before buying because the venue uses a classic three-level theater arrangement facing a proscenium stage. Orchestra, mezzanine, and balcony seats each offer a different balance of proximity, sightline, and price.

Best Seats at Curran Theatre

• Best value: Balcony and rear mezzanine or side sections are typically the most affordable areas, offering access to the performance at a lower price point.
• Closest to the action: Front orchestra rows place patrons nearest the stage, making them the strongest choice for maximum proximity to the performers.
• Best overall experience: Center orchestra and front mezzanine seats offer the strongest balance of sightlines, atmosphere, and connection to the stage in an intimate house.
• Premium and suite options: Premium seating is concentrated in center orchestra and premium mezzanine areas, with groups accommodated through box-office group sales.
• For groups: Coordinating seats early is especially helpful for popular Broadway titles and limited-run productions, where contiguous seats can become harder to find as demand builds.

Getting Ready for Your Curran Theatre Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical preparations make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at a historic theater in downtown San Francisco where timing, stairs, and pre-show crowds can shape the arrival experience.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Downtown San Francisco has strong cell coverage, though service can be congested in dense 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. Give yourself time to navigate downtown parking or transit and clear security before curtain, since late arrivals are seated only at breaks.
• Wear the right footwear. Upper seating levels require stairs typical of a historic theater, and the surrounding downtown area involves walking and some hills, so supportive shoes are a smart choice.
• Dress in layers. San Francisco evenings can be cool and foggy, so a layer is advisable for the walk to and from the theater.
• Build extra time into your transit plan. Arriving early helps you account for downtown traffic, garage demand, transit crowds, and security screening before the performance begins.
• Know your entrance. Curran Theatre uses a single main entrance on Geary Street, and knowing your seating level helps you navigate to the right stairway once inside.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
