About this place

The Richard Rodgers Theatre is essential for any Broadway pilgrimage because it is the home of Hamilton and a historic Nederlander house with a deep musical legacy. Its 46th Street location places visitors in the heart of the Times Square theater corridor, surrounded by marquee culture and pre-show energy.

Trivia

The venue opened in 1925 as Chanin’s 46th Street Theatre and was renamed in 1990 for composer Richard Rodgers. Its façade and auditorium interior were designated New York City landmarks in 1987.

Visiting tips

Hamilton performances draw large crowds before and after the show. Plan extra time for ticket pickup, security, and stage-door congestion on West 46th Street.
