Belasco Theatre
Arts & Culture · New York, NY
About
This intimate Broadway house is best for theatergoers who want an up-close dramatic experience, not a sprawling musical spectacle. David Belasco designed the 1907 auditorium as a 'living room,' with shallow depth bringing every seat close to the stage. The original Stuyvesant Theatre was renamed Belasco in 1910 and features 18 Everett Shinn murals plus a Gothic-style duplex apartment that once housed the owner's theatrical memorabilia.
The ghost of Belasco reportedly haunted the theater until the risqué production Oh! Calcutta! banished it. Free wifi is available. Hours are limited to Sunday late nights from 12:15 to 12:30 a.m., according to Yelp. If you're in Times Square and want more arts, the Museum of Modern Art is nearby.
