Broadway Theatres

What Is A Broadway Theatre?

For a theatre to be considered a Broadway house, it has to hit two qualifiers.

The second qualifier for a Broadway house is that the theatre must have 500+ seats in the audience. Theatres with 100-499 seats in NYC are considered Off-Broadway, and theatres with under 99 seats are considered Off-off-Broadway.

How Many Broadway Theatres are there Currently?

There are 41 Broadway Theatres currently in operation.

For-Profit Broadway Theatres

Broadway Shows typically have open-ended runs which are presented to make a profit for the show’s producers, investors, and theatre owners. 31 of the 41 theatres on Broadway are owned by one of three organizations. The Shubert Organization (a For-Profit arm of the Shubert Foundation) owns 17 out of the 41 theatres on Broadway. The Nederlander Organization owns 9 out of the 41 Broadway Theatres. Jujamcyn owns 5 of the 41 Broadway houses. Disney Theatrical owns 1 Broadway House, Ambassador Theatre Group owns 2 Theatres, and Circle in the Square is independently owned.

Of the for-profit Broadway Theatres, all of them use the same contracts with the theatrical unions except for Disney Theatrical, which negotiates seperately.

Non-Profit Broadway Theatres

There are 6 Broadway Theatres owned by Non-Profit theatre Companies.

Roundabout Theatre Company owns 3 of the 41 Broadway Theatres.

Second Stage Theatre, Manhattan Theatre Club, and Lincoln Center Theatre each own 1 of the 41 Broadway Houses.

These 4 Non-Profit Theatre Companies belong to LORT (League of Regional Theatres). This means they have separate contracts with the theatrical unions from the For-Profit Theatres.
