Broadway Theatre Tickets

Broadway Theatre
Hailed as one of the few Broadway theatres to have originally been built as a silent film house, The Broadway Theatre is truly a historic landmark. Designed by architect Eugene DeRosa and built by movie mogul B.S. Moss, Broadway Theatre tickets have guaranteed entry to an eclectic mix of acts, from vaudeville to musicals and dance performances, since opening its doors on Christmas Eve in 1924. At nearly 60-feet deep, the stage is on of the largest on Broadway, allowing the venue to become a mainstay for big-box productions.

But back in the mid 20s, no one could have known that the sheer size of the stage along with the Broadway Theatre’s seating chart of 1,765 would help ensure its survival, especially during the Great Depression. But it is exactly the largeness of the venue that has enabled it to offer popular musical comedy productions from the 1956 production of “Mr. Wonderful,” starring Sammy Davis, Jr., and Sr., to the recent musical adaptation of Alice Walker’s classic Pulitzer Prize-winning novel “The Color Purple.”

Presented by Oprah Winfrey, “The Color Purple” will run at the Broadway Theatre through at least 2007. This star-studded production features a score filled with gospel, jazz, ragtime and the blues. As for the production, The New York Times calls it “A bright odyssey of survival and triumph.”

Because Broadway Theatre tickets have become synonymous with great musicals, seats sellout fast to its award-winning productions. So make sure to let GoTickets.com help you find the prefect seat to this historic and musical icon.
