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

The theater is located at 1515 Broadway, New York City, New York, on the third floor of the One Astor Plaza. With a capacity for 1,621, it is one of Broadway\u2019s premier venues for the arts and entertainment. For over 10 years the Minskoff Theatre has been home to the globally acclaimed musical The Lion King Opened in 1973, the theatre was named for Sam Minskoff and Sons, one of New York\u2019s distinguished real estate families. More than 200 craftsmen and artisans worked nearly six months to extensively refurbish the Minskoff Theatre to welcome Disney\u2019s The Lion King. Architectural designer Mariuca Brancoveanu has created a dramatic new environment that starts with the terrazzo walkway through the promenade into the theatre. The main lobby area features hand-painted, gold-leaf sculpted tableaus that adorn the theatre\u2019s expansive interior walls and showcase its panoramic views of Broadway.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
