Venue Overview

The Stephen Sondheim Theatre stands on the site of Henry Miller’s Theatre, which first opened in 1918. In 1998, it was renovated by Roundabout Theatre Company as a home for Cabaret (the production later transferred to Studio 54 Theatre), with the venue officially being renamed after musical icon Stephen Sondheim for his 80th birthday in 2010.

The modern Stephen Sondheim Theatre has undergone extensive renovation to make it accessible for all patrons, and enjoys its status as the first LEED-certified Broadway venue, showcasing a commitment to environmental sustainability in its design. Its exterior retains the original façade of architect H. C. Ingalls’ neo-classical design, however, making it a perfect combination of tradition and innovation.

As Henry Miller’s Theatre, the venue has seen shows including Our Town (1938), Under Milk Wood (1957), Cabaret (1988), and Urinetown (2001). Since reopening under its current name, shows including the Tony Award-nominated revival of Anything Goes (2011) and the current Beautiful: The Carole King Musical have played to packed-out audiences.

Seating

There is a 1,055-seat capacity in the Stephen Sondheim Theatre, divided across the Orchestra and Mezzanines above. The Orchestra is the largest section, split into Left, Right and Center, with largely good views aided by stepped rows at the rear. The Mezzanine also has three blocks of seats, with a very good rake and intimate size making every seat a more than fair choice for watching a show. In both sections, views are more partial at the sides, and seats tend to be cheaper further back.

Tips

• Step-free access from the street into wheelchair seating
• An elevator serves every level of the theater for easy access
• Restrooms are in the Mezzanine and lower lounge; queues get long during the intermission
• Bag checks may be in operation; leave plenty of time to get to your seat
