About Palace Theatre New York City

Palace Theatre New York City is a historic Broadway theater at 1564 Broadway in New York, NY, operated by the Nederlander Organization. Opened in 1913, the theater seats approximately 1,648 guests and has served multiple eras of New York entertainment, beginning as a vaudeville playhouse before later becoming a movie house and then a legitimate Broadway performing arts venue. Its most recent chapter included a major engineering project completed in 2024, when the entire theater was raised approximately 30 feet to make room for retail and infrastructure below, followed by an approximately $80 million renovation.

The Palace is one of the oldest and largest of Broadway’s historic houses, with a reputation built on its vaudeville legacy, its lavishly baroque interior, and its central Times Square location. In the vaudeville era, performing here was considered the pinnacle of a career, and the phrase “playing the Palace” became synonymous with reaching the top of show business. It was designated an interior New York City landmark in 1987.

Today, Palace Theatre New York City hosts Broadway musicals and plays, concerts, comedy, and special theatrical engagements. Its stage has been associated with famous Judy Garland concert runs and Broadway productions such as Beauty and the Beast, Aida, Legally Blonde, and An American in Paris, making the theater a landmark setting for major performances in Times Square.

Location & Transportation

Palace Theatre New York City is located at 1564 Broadway, New York, NY 10036 — in Times Square near Broadway and 47th Street in Midtown Manhattan.

Transit: Transit is by far the most practical way to reach Palace Theatre New York City. The nearby Times Square–42nd Street / Port Authority subway complex serves the 1, 2, 3, 7, N, Q, R, W, S shuttle, and A, C, E lines. The 49th Street station on the N, R, and W lines and the 50th Street station on the 1 line are also close, and extensive bus service runs through the area.

Driving and Parking: Driving into Times Square is slow and congested, and the theater does not have on-site parking. Several commercial parking garages operate on surrounding Midtown blocks, though rates are high and traffic around showtimes is heavy. Most patrons use transit or walk from nearby hotels and restaurants.

Rideshare: Rideshare and taxis are widely available in Midtown, but Times Square traffic and Broadway-area street closures can make drop-off and pickup slow. After the show, walking a block or two away from the immediate theater district can make pickup easier.

Nearby Accommodation: The Theater District, Times Square, and Midtown Manhattan offer abundant lodging in every tier. Many hotels are within a short walk of Palace Theatre New York City, making the area especially convenient for visitors planning dinner, a show, and an overnight stay.

How Much Do Tickets to Palace Theatre New York City Cost?

Palace Theatre New York City ticket prices vary significantly depending on the type of event, the production or artist, seating section, and demand — which is what you'd expect from a venue that hosts everything from Broadway musicals and standard performances to high-demand productions and special engagements.

For Broadway musicals and standard performances, most seats are roughly $50–$200, with premium center-orchestra seats higher. Rear mezzanine, balcony, side, and partial-view seats are typically among the most affordable options.

For high-demand productions and premium seating, tickets can reach $250 or more. Marquee titles, limited-run engagements, weekend evenings, and prime center-orchestra locations are the biggest price drivers.

For concerts and special engagements, prices vary widely by artist and can often start around $75 and up. Demand rises quickly for popular performers and limited engagements, especially when inventory is concentrated in the best-view sections.

Booking earlier generally secures better seat locations and pricing, especially for popular productions and premium center-orchestra seats. As inventory shrinks and the performance date approaches, the best remaining sections tend to become more expensive.

Palace Theatre New York City Seating Guide

Best Seats at Palace Theatre New York City

• Best overall experience: Center orchestra seats several rows back and front mezzanine seats offer the strongest balance of sightline, proximity, and perspective for musicals.

Getting Ready for Your Palace Theatre New York City Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical preparations make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at a venue in the middle of Times Square.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Times Square is a high-density area where mobile networks can be congested. 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 latecomers may be held until a break in the performance.
• Wear the right footwear. Palace Theatre New York City is a multi-level historic theater with stairs to the mezzanine and balcony, so comfortable footwear helps.
• Dress in layers. The theater is indoor and climate-controlled, but you should plan for weather during the walk to and from transit.
• Build extra time into your transit plan. Crowds in Times Square and around Broadway can slow movement before and after performances, so allow additional time between transit, entry, and curtain.
• Know your entrance. The theater entrance is near Broadway and 47th Street, and your ticket lists your level, section, row, and seat. A quick look before arriving helps you move through the lobby and to your section.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
