About Longacre Theatre

Longacre Theatre is a Broadway legitimate theater located at 220 West 48th Street in New York, NY. Opened in 1913, it was designed by architect Henry Herts for producer Harry H. Frazee and is operated by The Shubert Organization. With approximately 1,090–1,100 seats, the theater offers a relatively intimate Broadway experience in the Theater District of Midtown Manhattan.

The venue is named for Longacre Square, the area later renamed Times Square, and it has been designated a New York City landmark. Over more than a century, Longacre Theatre has hosted acclaimed Broadway plays, musicals, limited engagements, solo performances, and concert-style stage shows, including Tony-nominated and award-winning productions.

Its Beaux-Arts character, modest scale, and location steps from Times Square make Longacre Theatre one of the Shubert Organization’s distinguished Midtown playhouses.

Location & Transportation

Longacre Theatre is located at 220 West 48th Street, New York, NY 10036 — in the Theater District of Midtown Manhattan, near Times Square and between Broadway and Eighth Avenue.

Transit: Subway access is excellent. The theater sits one block from Times Square–42nd Street, served by the 1, 2, 3, 7, N, Q, R, W, and S shuttle lines. The 50th Street station on the 1 train and the 49th Street station on the N, Q, R, and W lines are a short walk away, and the A, C, and E trains at 42nd Street–Port Authority are also nearby. Numerous bus routes and the Port Authority Bus Terminal serve the surrounding area.

Driving and Parking: Driving into Midtown can be difficult, and parking in the Theater District is limited and expensive. Several commercial parking garages operate nearby, and pre-booking a garage spot is advisable for show nights. On-street parking is impractical in this part of Manhattan.

Rideshare: Rideshare drop-off and pickup are common around the theater, but heavy Midtown traffic can slow service before curtain and after performances. Expect to walk a block or two to a less congested corner for pickup, and be prepared for surge pricing at curtain-out times.

Nearby Accommodation: Lodging is abundant throughout the Theater District and Times Square area. Major hotels and boutique properties are located within a short walk, making it easy to stay nearby for a Broadway weekend or a late-night performance.

Venue Navigation

Longacre Theatre uses a traditional Broadway layout, with the lobby opening directly from West 48th Street and seating arranged across orchestra, mezzanine, and balcony levels. Understanding your seating tier before arrival helps you move through the lobby efficiently and get settled before curtain.

Entrances and Access: The main entrance is on West 48th Street between Broadway and Eighth Avenue. Patrons enter through the lobby directly from the street, then proceed to ticket verification, security screening, and seating access.

Seating Levels: Longacre Theatre has a classic Broadway configuration with orchestra seating at the ground level, mezzanine seating above, and balcony seating higher in the house. The mezzanine and balcony are reached by lobby stairs, and the venue’s intimate scale helps keep the seating tiers connected to the stage.

Accessibility: As a Shubert Organization theater, Longacre Theatre offers accessible seating and services. Shubert theaters provide wheelchair-accessible locations and assistive-listening devices, and patrons can contact the box office or Shubert Audience Services in advance for accessibility support.

Getting to Your Section: Ushers direct patrons to the appropriate seating areas. Orchestra seats are accessed from the lobby level, while mezzanine and balcony seats involve stairs. Arriving early is important because late seating is held at the house’s discretion.

Dining Options

Inside Longacre Theatre

Concessions at Longacre Theatre typically include bar service with beverages, including alcohol, along with light snacks consistent with Broadway houses. Lines can build close to curtain and during performance breaks, so arriving early gives you more time to purchase refreshments and find your seat.

Outside the Venue — Theater District and Times Square

The surrounding Theater District and Times Square area offers dense dining options for before or after the show. Restaurant Row on West 46th Street between Eighth and Ninth Avenues has a concentration of pre-theater restaurants, and the surrounding Midtown blocks include many additional dining choices within walking distance of the theater.

Security & Policies

Longacre 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 at entry. Large bags and luggage are discouraged, while small bags are generally permitted.

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

Entry Procedures: Expect bag checks and security screening at the door, along with digital or printed ticket verification. Arriving with a compliant bag and pre-downloaded tickets speeds entry before curtain.

How Much Do Tickets to Longacre Theatre Cost?

Longacre Theatre ticket prices vary widely depending on the type of event, the production, seating section, and demand — which is what you'd expect from a venue that hosts everything from value seats for Broadway plays and musicals to premium seats for high-demand productions and limited engagements.

For standard Broadway plays and musicals, value seats can start around $50–$90, especially in rear mezzanine, balcony, side, or partial-view areas.

Mid-tier reserved seating typically runs around $90–$200, with pricing shaped by seat location, day of week, and overall demand for the production.

Premium seating for high-demand productions can reach $250 or more, particularly for center orchestra, premium front-mezzanine rows, hit shows, star casting, weekend evenings, and limited engagements.

For popular productions, buying earlier generally secures better seat locations and prices. As same-week demand builds and inventory tightens, prices for the best remaining sections can rise.

Longacre Theatre Seating Guide

Longacre Theatre’s intimate Broadway layout makes seat choice especially important, because the orchestra, mezzanine, and balcony each offer a different balance of proximity, perspective, and price. Seating faces the proscenium stage, with reserved seats throughout the house.

Best Seats at Longacre Theatre

• Best value: Rear mezzanine, balcony, and side or partial-view locations are typically the most affordable options, offering access to the Broadway experience at a lower price point.
• Closest to the action: Front orchestra rows put you nearest to the stage, creating the strongest sense of proximity to the performers.
• Best overall experience: Center orchestra and front mezzanine seats generally offer the strongest overall sightlines, balancing closeness with a full-stage perspective.
• Premium and suite options: Premium seating is typically concentrated in center orchestra and premium front-mezzanine rows for high-demand productions.
• For groups: Groups are accommodated through theater and Shubert group sales, and coordinating seats early is helpful for popular Broadway productions and limited engagements.

Longacre Theatre Seating Chart

You can view an interactive seating map for Longacre Theatre events directly on BoxOfficeTicketSales.com while browsing available listings. The map lets you compare sections side by side, check row depth and distance from the stage, and see real-time pricing for what's currently available — all before committing to a purchase.

Can I See Where My Seats Are?

Yes. The interactive seat map on BoxOfficeTicketSales.com shows your exact section and row placement before you buy. 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 Longacre Theatre Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical steps make the night run significantly smoother — especially at a Broadway theater in the middle of Midtown Manhattan.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Midtown Manhattan cell service can be congested around Times Square, especially at peak show times. 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. Theater District foot traffic and security lines are heaviest just before curtain, and late seating is restricted.
• Wear the right footwear. Interior stairs connect the orchestra, mezzanine, and balcony levels, and surrounding sidewalks are crowded. Supportive shoes make the walk, wait, and stair climbs easier.
• Dress in layers. The theater is indoor and climate-controlled, but the walk to and from transit exposes you to Midtown weather.
• Build extra time into your transit plan. Crowds around Times Square and the Theater District can slow your walk, especially close to curtain time.
• Know your entrance. The single main entrance is on West 48th Street, and reviewing whether your seats are in the orchestra, mezzanine, or balcony helps once you are inside.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
