American Airlines Theatre

Main entrance on West 42nd Street. The Theatre District location offers multiple approach routes; arriving via Shubert Alley (between the Shubert and Booth theatres) provides the most atmospheric entry to the neighborhood.

The intimate scale of the venue means bar and restroom traffic concentrates quickly during intermission. Arrive early to the theatre to secure a favorable position; the bar service is efficient, but crowds are inevitable during popular productions.

Public Transit

Excellent subway access: 42nd Street–Port Authority (A, C, E trains) and 42nd Street–Times Square (1, 2, 3, 7, N, Q, R, W trains) are both within walking distance. The M42 crosstown bus also serves the area. Ride-share drop-off is straightforward on 42nd Street.

Parking

Street parking in the Theatre District is severely limited. Nearby parking garages on 43rd and 44th Streets typically charge $15–$25 for evening performances. Consider ride-share drop-off on 42nd Street or public transit for easier access.
