Majestic Theatre
Arts & Culture · New York, NY
About
This theater is best for fans of classic Broadway musicals and architectural history. The Majestic Theatre, opened in 1927, was designed by Herbert Krapp in a distinctive 'modern Spanish' style. It originally formed part of a three-theatre complex by the Chanin Brothers before the Shuberts took over in 1930. The steep rake of the orchestra offers ideal sight lines, a feature that preceded stadium seating in movie theaters.
The Majestic is famous as the long-time home of The Phantom of the Opera, which won 7 Tony Awards in 1988. Located near Times Square, it's a convenient stop for theatergoers. If you're exploring the area, the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) is nearby for a change of pace. Free wifi is available inside. Check showtimes in advance, as tickets can sell out.
