About this place

The Palace is one of the most storied names in American live entertainment, famous first as a vaudeville summit and later as a Broadway musical house. For a Broadway checklist collection, it offers the rare combination of theater history, Times Square mythology, and ongoing reinvention.

Trivia

Opened in 1913, the Palace was long considered the pinnacle of vaudeville success. Its landmark auditorium was incorporated into the TSX Broadway redevelopment and lifted during the building project.

Visiting tips

Check current show and box-office status before planning a visit, as the theater has recently been part of a major redevelopment. The Times Square location is best reached by subway.
