About The Theatre<\/a> Seating Chart<\/a><\/p>\n

The Imperial Theater was constructed for the Shuberts and designed by Herbert J. Krapp. It was officially opened with the musical Mary Jane McKane on Christmas of 1923. It was the fiftieth venue of the Shuberts in New York, and was built to replace their 20-year-old and outdated Lyric Theatre. Additionally, in 1951, the location also held Ms. Globe Pageant for the first-ever.<\/p>\n

Like many other Shubert theatres, the Imperial was designed by Herbert Krapp in his trademark Adam-style. The recessed ceiling and ornamental panels that grace the walls are elaborately decorated with a number of motifs, including florals and geometrics. The rectangular auditorium is wider than it is deep, which allows most audience members to feel close to the stage and performers.<\/p>\n
