Opened in 1910 as the Globe, with a domed ceiling that could be opened to the sky, it spent thirty years as a cinema before being gutted and rebuilt as the Lunt-Fontanne in 1958, named for Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne, who opened it themselves. At roughly 1,505 it is one of the largest houses on the street and the Nederlander Organization has run it since 1973.
The Nederlander Organization says 1,505, The Broadway League 1,519 and Playbill 1,470, and Wikipedia footnotes the figure as approximate and dependent on the show.
A very wide orchestra under a single deep mezzanine, which is the 1958 rebuild rather than the 1910 house: the room was reshaped for large musicals and the proscenium is correspondingly broad. The published capacity varies by fifty seats depending on the source and Wikipedia footnotes it as show-dependent, so the map is the authority. The mezzanine front is the best-regarded tier.

What’s on at the Lunt-Fontanne
