Opened in 1926 as the Mansfield, renamed the Brooks Atkinson in 1960 for the New York Times critic, and renamed again on 1 November 2022 for Lena Horne — the first Broadway theatre named for a Black woman. The Nederlander Organization has had a stake in it since 1967. It has held the same tenant since 2021.
1,069 is attributed to the Nederlander Organization but could not be confirmed on a page the Nederlanders control. The Broadway League says 1,094 and Playbill 1,045, so the figure is shown as an approximation.
An orchestra and a single deep mezzanine in a room of roughly 1,069, whose published totals differ by fifty seats depending on who is counting. The mezzanine rake is steep and the room is wide rather than long, which is a good combination: the back of the mezzanine keeps the full stage and the outer orchestra seats stay usable.

Six: The Musical plays at the Lena Horne 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.
