David Belasco built this in 1907 for himself and lived in a duplex apartment above it, from which he could watch his own productions. It is the most elaborately decorated interior on Broadway — Tiffany glass, twenty-two Everett Shinn murals in the ceiling panels — and it still has the working stage machinery Belasco installed, which is why it is a landmark inside as well as out. The Shubert Organization has run it since the late 1940s.
Three levels: 527 in the orchestra, 283 in the mezzanine and 200 in the balcony, plus twenty-four boxes. The balcony is the steepest of the three and the murals are directly overhead from it, which is a reason to sit up there that has nothing to do with the play. The boxes at this house are genuinely period and genuinely side-on.
Frequently asked questions
- How can I see the view from my seat at the Belasco?
- Click any section on the interactive Belasco seating map above and a real panoramic 3D view from that part of the house opens instantly. Drag to look around in 360°, so you know what you will see before you buy.
- Where is the Belasco?
- 111 West 44th Street, New York, NY. It is in the Theater District in midtown Manhattan.
- How many seats does the Belasco have?
- 1,059 people. The Shubert Organization publishes 1,059, itemised as 527 orchestra, 283 mezzanine, 200 balcony, 24 boxes and 25 standing places, which adds up exactly. Seated capacity is 1,034. Wikipedia states 1,016 while citing that same Shubert page and reproducing the identical breakdown, so its total does not follow from its own figures.
- Who runs the Belasco?
- The Shubert Organization. The theatre opened in 1907 as the Stuyvesant Theatre.
- What are the best seats at the Belasco?
- Centre orchestra or centre mezzanine. The balcony is a real view rather than a cheap seat here, and it is the only place you can see the ceiling properly. Treat the boxes as an experience, not a sightline.
What’s on at the Belasco
Maybe Happy Ending plays at the Belasco Theatre, as of 30 July 2026. Broadway bookings change constantly, so this page does not publish a performance calendar it cannot keep honest — it gives you the room. The seating map above is the theatre itself, so it holds good whatever is on the stage.
