Walter Kerr Theatre

The Walter Kerr Theatre is a Broadway theatre at 219 West 48th Street in the Theater District of Midtown Manhattan in New York City. Designed by Herbert J. Krapp for the Shubert family, it operated as the Ritz Theatre from 1921 to 1990. In 1990, the theatre was named after theatrical critic Walter Kerr, and since 1980 has been owned and operated by Jujamcyn Theaters. Being one of the smaller Broadway houses, the Walter Kerr seats 975 across an orchestra and two balcony levels. The top balcony has only two rows of seats. The current production, Hadestown, has run at the Walter Kerr since 2019.
