Palace Theatre

Located in Midtown Manhattan on Broadway Avenue around the corner from Rockefeller Center, the Palace Theatre has been putting on performances for almost 100 years.

It was the premier vaudeville theater for many years during the early 20th century, and making it to this theater meant that a performer had hit the big time. Notable performers who have visited the stage include Harry Houdini, Will Rogers, Ethel Merman, Judy Garland, Jerry Lewis, Harry Belafonte, Bette Midler, Diana Ross, and Shirley Maclaine.

Recent performances at the Palace Theatre include Beauty and the Beast and The Will Rogers Follies. The Box Office is open from 10:00 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on Sundays. Everyone must have a ticket, and children under the age of four are not permitted in the theater. The theater has a coat check, concessions, and restrooms available.

Due to its prime downtown location and proximity to major attractions the theater is a popular place to visit for locals, tourists, families and businessmen and women. Groups are often seen at the theater and group rates are availbale. Reservations can be made in advance for guided and self-guided tours and VIP seating. The theater is closed on all major holidays.:
