New World Stages

Located at 340 W 50th St, New York, NY 10019, United States, you can find your way to this venue via all forms of transport, both public and private, though we highly recommend the subway for a quick, easy, and cost-efficient way to get there.

The venue has five stages, each a separate venue with its own capacity and seating plan. The total capacity of the space across its five theaters is 1,897 seats. This is split across 499 seats each in Stages 1 and 3, 350 seats each in Stages 2 and 4, and 199 seats in Stage 5.

All theaters at this venue are ADA-compliant. The individual theaters have wheelchair-accessible seating with step-free access, though the rest of the theaters are only accessible via steps, not all of which are equipped with handrails. All the theaters are near wheelchair-accessible restrooms as well. Hearing assistance is also available in the form of assistive listening devices and looped technology.

Prices vary depending on the theater, show, season, and more. Tickets to Stalker, currently playing at Stage 3, start at $60.

The theaters at this venue are Off-Broadway, which means they are smaller, more intimate venues. No matter where you sit, you're likely to get a decent view of the stage and a relatively more immersive experience. We'd still recommend that you pick seats closer to the front of the auditorium, in the Orchestra, preferably in the Center Orchestra, for the best experience. Some shows might have you straining your neck if you sit too close to the stage, though, so opt for seats starting in Row C leading to the middle rows.

The five-theater performance space sits comfortably in Hell's Kitchen, surrounded by plenty of places to visit and sights to see. Bookended by the Hudson River and Central Park, the New World Stages is near places like Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum, the Museum of Arts and Design, and the Museum of Modern Art, both great stops for art lovers. It is also near iconic venues like Carnegie Hall and buildings like the Rockefeller Center.
