The Longacre opened in 1913, built for a producer who had made his money in baseball, and it has one of the most complete Beaux-Arts interiors left on Broadway after a full restoration in 2022. It spent the 1940s and 1950s as a radio and television studio before returning to legitimate use, and the Shubert Organization runs it now.
508 seats in the orchestra, 304 in the mezzanine and 249 in the balcony, plus sixteen boxes — three tiers in a house of only 1,077, which makes it one of the more vertical small theatres on the street. The current production sells about thirty fewer than the house holds, which is the set, not a discrepancy. The balcony is high and steep.

Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York) plays at the Longacre Theatre, as of 30 July 2026.

The seating map above is the theatre itself, so it holds good whatever is on the stage.
