Walter Kerr Theatre

The Walter Kerr Theatre is a Broadway theatre located in the heart of New York City. Originally named the Ritz Theatre, it was built in 1921 and renamed in 1990 to honour the Pulitzer Prize-winning American critic Walter Kerr. With a seating capacity of just 975 across Orchestra, Mezzanine and Balcony sections, it's one of the city's smaller and more intimate venues. Notorious for its world-renowned, critically acclaimed productions, the Walter Kerr Theatre has staged hits such as 'Angels in America', 'A Little Night Music', and 'Hadestown', making it a quintessential part of New York's theatre landscape. The theatre is famously known as the home of 'Springsteen on Broadway', Bruce Springsteen’s one-man show that ran for 14 months in 2017 and 2018. The show was an unequivocal success and re-affirmed Walter Kerr Theatre as a must-visit for any theatre aficionado.
