Previously called Chanin's 46th Street Theatre, The Richard Rodgers Theatre had its opening in 1924. One of the Broadway venues owned by the Chanin Brothers, the venue was renamed after the legendary Richard Rodgers in 1990. The design was led by Herbert Krapp, who added an elevated stadium-type seating at the back of the Orchestra section, creating seating with great views at lower prices. 

Some notable productions at the Richard Rodgers Theatre are "Chicago" (1975) and "In the Heights" (2008). The theater is currently home to Lin-Manuel Miranda's blockbuster, "Hamilton" (2015).

Popular productions
  • The Richard Rodgers Theatre has three main seating sections: Orchestra, Front Mezzanine, and Rear Mezzanine.
  • The Orchestra is the largest section with 816 seats, divided into Left, Center, and Right.
  • Views are generally good, though outer edges and back rows may have partially obscured stage views.
  • Stadium-style seating between rows L and X ensures an unobstructed view, even in cheaper seats.
  • Wheelchair and companion seats are at the back of the Left and Right Orchestra.
  • The Front Mezzanine is the smallest section, with 252 seats, elevated above the Orchestra.
  • Aisles run between the Left, Center, and Right sections.
  • The Rear Mezzanine, located at the back, is more significant, with 268 seats across eight rows. It benefits from a good rake, but the steep angle may make stage views distant.
  • Row A offers impressive legroom due to the curtain, but sitting to the sides may result in partial views.
  • The Front and the Rear Mezzanine do not have designated accessible seats. They are not recommended for patrons with very limited mobility.
