Originally named the Stuyvesant Theatre, Belasco Theatre was built in 1907 by David Belasco, who also lived in a Gothic-style apartment above the venue. Aside from rumors of Belasco himself haunting the auditorium, Belasco Theatre has hosted stars including Humphrey Bogart, Janet McTeer and Denzel Washington.
Known for his eccentric tastes and belief in the Little Theater Movement, Belasco commissioned George Keister to design the venue, adding a neo-Georgian frontage for a cozy atmosphere. The Belasco is one of just four Broadway theaters with a neo-Georgian facade; others include the Neil Simon Theatre and Hayes Theater. A 2010 refurbishment makes the most of original décor including Everett Shinn’s stunning murals. Tiffany lampshades and stained-glass ceiling features can also be seen nestled atop columns and amongst carved wood.
Opening with A Grand Army Man starring Tony Awards namesake Antoinette Perry, Belasco Theatre eventually transferred ownership to The Shubert Organization in 1948. Since then, notable productions include Oh Calcutta! (1971), Hamlet (starring Ralph Fiennes, 1995) and Hedwig and the Angry Inch (2014). A revival of Joe Turner’s Come and Gone (2009) even prompted a visit from Barack Obama.
Belasco Theatre has a capacity of 1,016 seats across three levels, with around half situated in the Orchestra and 25 standing spaces. The Orchestra seating chart splits into Left, Center and Right, with views best in the middle. The Mezzanine’s center seats also offer good views for patrons wanting to sit further back whilst the Balcony offers the most affordable seating to reflect its distance, with restrictions caused by safety bars and side angles. Boxes are available for side-on, intimate seating, and it’s worth noting that across all levels seats further to the sides become more obstructed.

Thanks, our editors will take a look.
Legroom is great since it's on the aisle, and if you're next to someone you know, you can be a little more stingy with elbow room! For this show, we missed a couple of entrances but overall, you feel like you're IN THE PERFORMANCE and it's rivetin... More

Won these seats via the lottery! I’m not one to complain for any seats for such a good price, so all things considered the view was great. However, I will say there were some entrances from stage right that were missed as we were so close to the s... More
