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.

Standard Broadway theater. Always wish for more legroom or arm room, but it's not horrible, just standard. Was last row on the side so I can see the entirety of the stage, just if you want closer, then buy closer More

Thanks, our editors will take a look.
The only issue with this seat is that it is fairly level with the row in front. I had a taller person in front of me and due to being on the side, had to really crane my neck to the left and right in order to see around them. Otherwise, the view i... More

The view was great, was able to see everything and enjoyed the show just as much as the first time. There was barely any space for my legs, which was surprising to me since when I sat in the Orchestra, I was able to put my legs straight out with n... More
