About this place

The Majestic is one of Broadway’s great musical houses, famous for sheltering The Phantom of the Opera for decades. Its 44th Street address and landmarked details make it both a showgoing destination and a stop for theater-history travelers.

Trivia

Built in 1927 as part of a three-theater complex by the Chanin Brothers, the Majestic became synonymous with The Phantom of the Opera, Broadway’s longest-running show.

Visiting tips

The Majestic sits on a busy theater block near several other historic houses. If you are building a Broadway venue checklist, pair it with nearby Shubert, St. James, Broadhurst, and Booth for a compact walking route.
