About Us

The Palace Theatre on West 47th Street has been a fixture of the Broadway landscape for over a century, and its recent multi-year renovation has given it a second life that longtime theatergoers are calling jaw-dropping. The most talked-about feature: a working escalator that carries audiences up through the reimagined lobby like a slow-motion ascent into spectacle. Reviewers have dubbed it 'an escalator to the stars,' and honestly, that feels right.

The house seats just enough to feel intimate without sacrificing the grandeur of a true Broadway venue. Sightlines vary by section, so choosing your seats with care pays off. The bathroom situation alone has become something of a legend among regulars: more restrooms than nearly any other house on Broadway, which anyone who has sprinted through intermission on West 47th knows is no small thing.

Currently home to The Lost Boys, a high-energy musical that has drawn rave reviews for its cast and staging, the Palace is back in the conversation as one of the most compelling stops on the Broadway circuit. With a 4.6-star rating across nearly 1,400 reviews, the audiences have spoken.

What We Offer

The Palace Theatre offers the full Broadway experience, from blockbuster musicals to limited-run productions that draw casts and creative teams at the top of their craft. The renovated venue accommodates groups large and small, with ticketing available through Broadway Direct and major box office channels.

Accessibility features, expanded concessions, and that now-famous escalator make the pre-show and intermission experience as much a part of the visit as the performance itself. Premium seating options in the orchestra and mezzanine deliver strong sightlines, while the upper sections offer solid value for budget-conscious theatergoers.

The Palace also hosts private events and special performances throughout the season. Whether you are booking for a date night, a corporate outing, or a celebration with family, the team at the Palace can help coordinate group tickets and venue access for an evening that centers entirely on the performance.

"Came to see The Lost Boys and the site-lines in this theatre are terrible. Considering it was closed for years, they could have at least renovated. A girl with tall hair two rows in front of me led to the person in front of me (right as the show was starting) getting a booster seat, which completely blocked my view of 2/3 of the stage. Solution from the theatre is that everyone should then have a booster seat (meaning it would set off a chain reaction). After 25 minutes of this view, I went and found an usher and was thankfully moved, though the new seat was obstructed view. Spoke to house managers at intermission and they were rather rude and not very apologetic. Won’t be back to this theater and if this show is the direction Broadway is headed, then count me out!"

"Insane work on this venue. An escalator to the stars. More bathrooms than the rest of Broadway combined. An entertaining spectacle of a show (in this case, The Lost Boys). My first visit to the refurbished and elevated Palace!!!"
