A breathtaking Art Nouveau landmark on 42nd Street, the New Amsterdam was meticulously restored by Disney in 1997. Originally home to the Ziegfeld Follies, this ornate theatre launched Disney's Broadway empire with The Lion King and has since housed Aladdin and Mary Poppins.
Acoustics, seating, and what to expect
The New Amsterdam Theatre is renowned for its exceptional acoustics and elaborate interior designs that contribute to an immersive audiovisual experience, particularly from center orchestra and mezzanine seating areas.
Center Orchestra rows F-J offer the most immersive experience with unobstructed views and optimal acoustic blend. Center Mezzanine rows A-D provide excellent elevated sightlines and are considered hidden gems for appreciating choreography and large-scale illusions.
