The Lena Horne Theatre, originally the Mansfield Theatre, was built in 1926 by the Chanin Brothers. Between 1945 and 1960, it was leased to CBS as a television studio. When it returned to operating as a theater in 1960, it was renamed after the prolific New York Times drama critic, Brooks Atkinson. In 2022, it was renamed for actress and civil rights activist Lena Horne. It the first Broadway theater to be named after a Black woman and one of three named after a Black artist - alongside the August Wilson Theatre and James Earl Jones Theatre.
The Lena Horne Theatre was originally designed by Herbert J. Krapp using Spanish influences. From the outside, small but unique details frame the windows and twisting columns beneath. Inside, the auditorium feels bright thanks to gold and white paint and elaborate murals above the stage. The theater’s original chandelier was also restored to its former glory during renovations in 2000.
Since opening, the Lena Horne Theatre has seen stars including Glenn Close, Derek Jacobi and Richard Dreyfuss tread the boards. Notable productions over the years include Neil Simon’s Come Blow Your Horn (1961), the Tony Award-winning Noises Off (1983) and Sara Bareilles’ hit musical, Waitress (2016-present).
The Lena Horne Theatre has a capacity of 1,069 seats across three levels, with just over half in the Orchestra. The Orchestra seating chart is divided into Left, Right and Center sections with views best towards the front and middle. In every section, double-digit seats towards the sides are more restricted. The Front Mezzanine’s central seats are very popular because of the elevated yet close sightlines they offer, whilst the Rear Mezzanine is the cheapest area of seating in the theater, where patrons will be most distant from the stage. However, sightlines across all three levels are, by and large, unobstructed. This is especially true for the venue’s current show, SIX, which has a simple set to mimic an American Idol-style pop sing off.

Very restricted view. You will see only 50% of the stage.for Sox it was ok, as there are no sets and it’s more like a concert and 90% of the show happens in front of the stage. But as soon the girls take steps back you will only see 50% of it. Ev... More

The comfort was good for a short show like Six, and the legroom wasn’t bad at all. The view was great, because you got a nice global view of the whole set and choreography, though at times I couldn’t see 100% of the facial expressions. More

It’s the very back row, but it’s at the top of the stairs so no one is directly in front of you so the leg room was great. There were a couple heads in my way but not in a way that ruined my experience. More
