John Golden Theatre

Designed by Herbert J. Krapp, this 804-seat Broadway venue on West 45th Street is scaled for intimate plays and musicals, offering clear sightlines. But that closeness comes with a trade-off. Visitors should expect notably snug seating with limited legroom and a layout that lacks a proper lobby, leaving little room to move during intermission. The restrooms, located in the basement, routinely draw long lines during sold-out performances. Keep in mind that children under four are not admitted.
