About
The Al Hirschfeld Theatre feels like stepping into Broadway history. This opulent space opened on November 11, 1924, and was designed to be the grandest theater of its time. It was the only New York theater originally owned outright without a mortgage. Dressing rooms for 200 actors hint at the scale of its productions. Today it hosts world-famous Broadway hits, drawing a family-friendly, mixed crowd of locals and travelers.
The box office is open daily with extended hours on show days, and free WiFi is available. You'll find it in the heart of Times Square, surrounded by neon and theater marquees. The vibe is upscale but welcoming to all ages, including queer visitors who'll feel right at home among the mixed-gay-straight audience.
Located in the heart of Times Square, you're steps from Broadway's brightest lights and the constant hum of Theater District crowds.
