Even though it’s smaller than a lot of other theatres I've been to, the view was still good from center mezz.

A real vaudeville icon, the Palace Theatre is one of the largest venues on Broadway. It was opened on March 24, 1913, and has the stunning seating capacity of 1,610 seats. Due to its huge capacity it was one of the most desired venues to book. Many of its musicals were stunning successes. Along with the multiple vaudevillians of their time, it has seen great shows like Holler If Ya Hear Me, The Temptations and the Four Tops on Broadway, Sunset Boulevard, The Illusionists, An American in Paris, West Side Story, Annie, and many, many more. The last musical to be set on the stage of the Palace Theatre was Sponge Bob Square Pants The Musical. I have to admit that this one is far from my favorites as possible, it achieved high critical and audience acclaim, and remained as well – loved by people with kids. After Sponge Bob Square Pants finished, the Palace Theatre was closed for a large – scale renovation. It includes the building of a hotel and a retail structure. One of the Palace Theatre’s curiosities is the urban legend about the death of acrobat Louis Bossalina. As the legend goes – he fell to his death somewhere in the 1950s. The truth, however, is that he indeed fell during a number in 1935, but survived and died some 18 years later in his home, age 61.

Broadway

how big are the seats? My husband is a very big guy 6'4" and over 300lbs he often does not fit in the seats. Would like to know before we spend the money on a seat for him.

I work in the theaters and sometimes see the house management and staff add a free standing chair in the back of the theater if someone is too tall/big for the chairs that were bought. I believe the side back orchestra has some free standing chairs that have more room than most as well as some box seats with free standing chairs. Call the box office and explain what you need. They'll be able to direct you to seats that best fit your needs.

Does the theater have booster seats for younger children?

Ann White | Sep 30, 2018
Sebastian Woods | Sep 30, 2018

yes, they do

Can I bring in my boxed dessert, not to eat, but to simply take home after the show?

linda stata | Sep 30, 2018
Robin Merritt | Sep 30, 2018

Technically you're not supposed to but if you hide it in the bottom of a bag or something they won't look too much into it
