Musical Today New York, United States
Belasco Theatre
1,016 seats
David Belasco's own theatre of 1907, with his apartment still on the roof and Tiffany glass in the ceiling. Maybe Happy Ending has played here since November 2024.
Inside the Belasco Theatre
David Belasco opened it in 1907 as the Stuyvesant and renamed it after himself three years later. He had a ten-room duplex apartment built on top of the east wing to hold his collection, and the auditorium he left has Tiffany lighting and ceiling panels, dark woodwork and murals by Everett Shinn. Both the facade and the interior are New York City landmarks.
It sits east of Seventh Avenue, between Sixth and Seventh, which puts it on the quieter side of the district. At 1,016 seats on three levels it is a mid-sized house, and a close one for a musical.
There are no lifts. The main entrance has two steps and a side entrance none; the mezzanine and the balcony are each a flight of stairs up. The Shubert Organization has owned the building since 1948 and sells its seats through Telecharge.
Opening dates, capacities and architects on this page come from the theatre's own history pages and from Wikipedia.
