This is Lincoln Center Theater's Off-Broadway house, not a Broadway one — The Broadway League's own database says so in plain terms, and Lincoln Center Theater itself describes it as its 299-seat off-Broadway theatre. It sits on the lower level of the same building as the Vivian Beaumont, which is the Tony-eligible Lincoln Center house, and it has been running since 1967, originally as the Forum. It is included here because it is in the same catalog and has the same interactive map.
299 seats on a thrust stage, wrapped round three sides, which makes it the smallest and the most unusual room in this hub by a wide margin — nothing else here has an audience sitting beside the action rather than in front of it. Lincoln Center Theater notes that the seating chart changes slightly with each production, so the map is worth opening every time rather than once.
Frequently asked questions

- Where is the Mitzi E. Newhouse?
- 150 West 65th Street, New York, NY. It is on the Lincoln Center campus on the Upper West Side, not in the Theater District.
- How many seats does the Mitzi E. Newhouse have?
- 299 people. Lincoln Center Theater publishes 299 seats, and adds that the seating chart varies slightly with each production. IBDB rounds it to 300. This is by a wide margin the smallest room in this hub.
- Who runs the Mitzi E. Newhouse?

- What are the best seats at the Mitzi E. Newhouse?
- Centre, facing the stage, for the view the director blocked for. The side banks are closer to the actors and see a different play — a genuine choice rather than a compromise, but check the 3D view first if you have not sat in a thrust house before.
What’s on at the Mitzi E. Newhouse
The Whoopi Monologues plays at the Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater, 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.
