Majestic Theatre

Majestic Theatre (New York). The musical house on West 44th Street has long been a particular favorite of producers because of its large capacity (1,800 seats when it opened, 1,655 today) and, for patrons, for its steeply raked orchestra section that allows for excellent sightlines. The playhouse was built by the Chanin brothers in 1927 and designed by Herbert J. Krapp in the Louis IV style. Most of its attractions over the years have been large musicals, including four Rodgers and Hammerstein shows, Porgy and Bess (1942), The Music Man (1957), Camelot (1960), and Phantom of the Opera (1988). The Shubert‐owned theatre has been renovated and remodeled over the decades, but its most pleasing elements have remained intact.
