Opened in 1925 as Chanin's 46th Street Theatre and renamed in 1990 for Richard Rodgers. Its distinguishing feature is the one its builders were proudest of: a stadium-style raked orchestra with no flat section, so the cheaper seats were given a real view at a time when that was not the convention. The Nederlander Organization runs it and it has held the same tenant since 2015.
1,319 is the Nederlander Organization's figure and it matches the number of seats replaced in the 2013 restoration, which is as close to a physical count as Broadway offers. Playbill says 1,321 and The Broadway League 1,400, and no breakdown is published, so it stays an approximation.
Roughly 1,319 seats — the figure matches the number replaced in the 2013 restoration, which is as close to a physical count as this street offers — across a raked orchestra and a deep mezzanine. The rake is the point: sightlines from the back of the orchestra are better than the seat map suggests, and the mezzanine front is unusually close for a house of this size.
