Imperial Theatre (New York)

The theater opened in 1923 with the hit musical Mary Jane McKane and continued its remarkable century-long run with multiple long-running musicals and plays in its roster. The theater has retained many of its original interior design features, warranting its status as a designated New York City landmark, and continues to showcase acclaimed productions.

The partially accessible theater has a step-free entrance, designated seating for wheelchair users, their companions, and patrons who prefer transfer seats with step-free access, an accessible unisex restroom on the main floor, and an at-seat service for food and drinks purchased at the venue. The rest of the venue is not as accessible and can only be reached via stairs equipped with handrails. Hearing and visual assistance devices are provided at the theater and can be collected from the Audience Services kiosk after providing a valid ID as a deposit.

Prices vary from show to show, depending on the dates and seats selected. Tickets to Water for Elephants currently start at $74.5.

The theater's 1,457 are split across the Orchestra, Front Mezzanine, and Rear Mezzanine sections. Row C leading the the middle rows of the Orchestra offers some of the best and most immersive experiences, with the front rows going for premium rates. These are especially great for dramatic plays or similar shows that focus on character-driven performances. The front to middle rows of the Front Mezzanine are also known to offer great views, with the middle rows offering great value for your money. These are great seats for larger ensemble productions and musicals.

Located within the Broadway district, this theater is just a hop, skip, and jump away from some of New York's most popular attractions, including Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum, Times Square, Central Park, the Hudson River, the Empire State Building, and so many more iconic landmarks. It is also, however, within walking distance of a variety of local haunts, popular hangouts, hidden gems, and more.
