Neil Simon Theatre Events

Located in the iconic Theatre District of Midtown Manhattan, New York City, the Neil Simon Theatre - formerly known as The Alvin Theatre - is a Broadway theater that stands tall at 250 West 52nd Street. On the same block as the Neil Simon, is where you'll find the Mark Hellinger Theatre and Gallagher's Steakhouse situated to its east. North of the August Wilson Theatre stands 810 Seventh Avenue, while behind it lies Axa Equitable Center. To its south is Paramount Plaza with Circle in the Square Theatre and Gershwin Theater situated within, followed by Winter Garden Theater further to its southeast. In 1927, Herbert J. Krapp designed and constructed the theater for Alex A. Aaron and Vinton Freedley to enjoy a memorable movie experience. With a capacity of 1,467 people, the Neil Simon Theatre is one of the Nederlander Organization's grandest theatres. The auditorium is a majestic venue, featuring an orchestra level and one balcony, in addition to boxes and a stage behind the proscenium arch. The Nederlander Organization asserts that the auditorium has 1,445 seats; whereas The Broadway League and Playbill declare a capacity of 1,467 seats respectively. Additionally, Playbill holds to the belief that there are only 1,380 chairs present in the venue. The theater boasted a whopping 1,400 seats - 702 were in the orchestra, 674 in the balcony, and 24 adorning the boxes. The auditorium originally boasted a sophisticated palette of ivory, blue, gray, and gold complemented by lavender or mulberry-hued drapes. The theatre is divided into two distinct sections: the stage house, a six-story tall structure located to the west, and an auditorium that stands five stories high on its eastern side. The first floor is adorned with traditional terracotta blocks, which are complemented by an impressive entrance and marquee. The upper stories of both sections boast an intricate brick and terracotta façade, with arched windows, niches, and a central pediment showcasing the auditorium. Fashioned in the Adam style, this interior features two grand lobbies and a luxurious mezzanine-level lounge. In July 2010, the renowned musician Harry Connick Jr. gave a spectacular show at Neil Simon Theatre which was later exhibited in his 2011 album In Concert on Broadway! In October 2010, the musical production Rain: A Tribute to the Beatles made its debut at the Neil Simon Theatre. After a successful run there, this show moved to its new home at the Brooks Atkinson in early 2011. The award-winning musical Catch Me if You Can open to rave reviews in April 2011 and captivated audiences for an impressive 170 performances. In 2012, the Neil Simon Theatre saw a spectacular revival of Jesus Christ Superstar and was shortly followed by Scandalous - an unforgettably short-lived musical. Instead of premiering on Broadway at the Neil Simon Theatre in 2013 as initially planned, Andrew Lippa's hit musical Big Fish had to detour elsewhere, leaving New York City's iconic stage dark during that year. Following these two brief runs, Robert Schenkkan's play All the Way ran from March to June 2014 and Sting's musical The Last Ship opened in October 2014 before closing in January 2015. Following The Cher Show's curtain call, MJ the Musical secured a spot at Neil Simon Theatre for mid-2020. Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 pandemic in New York City, the Neil Simon Theatre had to put a halt on any further shows for two years. After a year of closure, the theater finally welcomed back patrons in December 2021 with exciting previews of MJ the Musical. Come February 2022 and it was officially opened to the public!
