1913 vaudeville landmark on Times Square; auditorium was lifted 30 feet during the 2018-2024 TSX Broadway renovation to accommodate ground-floor retail. Hosting The Lost Boys musical.
The short version
The Palace Theatre is a 1913 vaudeville landmark on Times Square, extensively renovated 2018–2024 as part of the TSX Broadway project — the entire auditorium was lifted 30 feet on hydraulic posts to accommodate ground-floor retail. Post-renovation capacity is 1,648 seats across an orchestra and mezzanine, down from a historical 1,743. Sightlines are proscenium-traditional; the mezzanine is set at a comfortable height with a full view of the show's set-heavy Santa Carla staging. Centre orchestra is premium for the rock-concert intensity of the score.
Section by section
Sections are ordered roughly cheapest-to-most-expensive within the house's seating tiers — but the best value isn't always the cheapest. Watch for the sweet spot.
-
Orchestra
Best proximity to the on-stage band and the aerial/pyrotechnic effects. Centre orchestra runs premium; sides are cheaper but keep good sightlines given the wide Palace stage.
-
Front Mezzanine
The consensus best-value tier — full wide view of the Santa Carla set, no neck angle, priced meaningfully under centre orchestra.
-
Rear Mezzanine
Furthest paid seats. Some distance from the stage but no meaningful obstructions in the renovated house. Cheapest paid option.
