New Amsterdam Theatre

New York, New York, USA
Whitney Cox

This celebrated Art Nouveau theatre is located in Manhattan’s Theater District, near Times Square. Home to Disney’s major musical theatre productions, it’s equipped to accommodate their demanding technical needs.

Built in 1903, the theatre is the oldest operating theatre on Broadway, a New York City landmark, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. One of the design team’s greatest challenges was to integrate modern performance technology into a beautiful classic theatre without interfering with sightlines or the intricately restored finishes.
