Ambassador Theatre
Arts & Culture · New York, NY
About
"A true New York City institution," as the owners put it, the Ambassador Theatre has been hosting Broadway shows since 1921. This Shubert-organisation house is currently home to the long-running musical Chicago, a six-time Tony winner. Its hexagonal auditorium—a quirk of the small lot it was built on—gives it an intimate feel, and the Adam-style plasterwork by architect Herbert Krapp adds old-school elegance. The crowd here tends to be all-ages and mixed-gay-straight, drawn by a classic Broadway hit.
For a first-timer, seeing Chicago at the Ambassador is a straightforward Times Square night out. The theatre offers free wifi, and while the price tier is moderate ($$$), you're paying for a proven crowd-pleaser. Head to the nearby Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) earlier in the day to make it a full cultural outing.
