About The Imperial

The Imperial Theatre sits at 249 West 45th Street in the heart of Midtown Manhattan, a premier Broadway venue owned by The Shubert Organization. With a design that preserves an interior designated as a NYC landmark, The Imperial continues to host top musicals and stage premieres, including the Chess Broadway revival opening in 2025. The theatre’s seating ranges roughly from 1,417 to 1,457 seats depending on configuration, offering an intimate yet grand Broadway experience. Whether you’re planning a classic night out or following a new hit, we’ve got you covered with practical details on seating, access, and nearby options to complete your visit.

Plan ahead for a smooth trip: there is no on-site parking, but multiple offsite options are conveniently located around Times Square. The Imperial is positioned between Broadway and 8th Avenue, with easy entry from West 45th Street. Subway access includes the A/C/E and 1/2/3 lines at 42nd Street, placing you steps from the theatre’s doors. For a full Broadway experience, consider nearby hotels such as the Marriott Marquis and other Midtown properties, along with a curated set of affiliate dining and lodging partners to maximize comfort and value.
