Overview

Originally opened in 1929 as the Ritz Theatre, this top Broadway venue has evolved over the years and has housed over two dozen productions. It underwent extensive renovation (and a name change) in 1990 to become the Walter Kerr Theatre it is today. It's housed a number of acclaimed plays and musicals, including 9 Tony Award winners, as well as the box office smash Springsteen on Broadway. It currently houses the Tony-winning Hadestown. With only 947 seats, the Walter Kerr Theatre is one of the smallest venues on Broadway.

Seating

See the official Walter Kerr Theatre seating chart below.

Handicap Accessibility

Wheelchair accessible seating can be found in the lower orchestra section of the theater, as there are no escalators or elevators to access the mezzanine and balcony levels. However, wheelchair seating comes at a range of ticket prices to reflect the lack of availability of higher levels. These seats may also be purchased with adjacent companion seats. Men's and women's restrooms are available via stairs on the mezzanine level, though a unisex, wheelchair accessible restroom is located on the ground level for convenience.

Club/Suite Ticket Packages

Due to the theater's small size, there are no premium seating or suite ticket packages offered.

Amenities

The Walter Kerr Theatre is equipped with comfortable, cushioned seating throughout the venue. There are also two fully-stocked bars on the orchestra and mezzanine levels offering a variety of cocktails and non-alcoholic beverages. Small bites are also available for purchase at these bars, though guests are reminded to dispose of any food and drink before taking their seats at the beginning of a show or at the end of an intermission.

Parking/Transportation

Due to the theater's metropolitan location, parking is extremely limited and guests are strongly encouraged to use public transportation to get there. The theater is accessible via the New York subway at the 49th Street Station on the N, R, and W trains.
