Longacre Theatre Tickets

The Longacre Theatre was designed by Henry Beaumont Herts and first opened in 1921. The theater takes its name from the original name of Times Square: Longacre Square. The Longacre Theatre was once believed to have a cursed attached to it, thanks to the fact that the owner of the Boston Red Sox sold Babe Ruth's contract to another team in order to fund the theater. However, other than a short stint as a television studio, the Longacre Theatre has functioned as a Broadway theater since its opening. The hit play

A Bronx Tale

The Prom

debuted here. You can purchase your Longacre Theatre tickets at StubHub.
