Walter Kerr Theatre

Walter Kerr Theatre Tickets

Located on West 48th Street between Broadway and Eighth Avenue, the Walter Kerr Theatre, originally the Ritz Theatre, was built in 1921. Beyond its first 20 years of existence, it was used sparingly as a theater and spent decades as a radio and television studio. Following a 2-million-dollar restoration, the venue reopened in 1990 with the Pulitzer Prize winner

The Piano Lesson

. It has since seen a number of Tony Award-winning plays presented on its stage, including

Angels in America

,

Proof

and

Doubt

. In recent times, The Boss came to the Walter Kerr when legendary performer

Bruce Springsteen

engaged in a concert residency here. The nearly 100-years-old venue also hosts musicals such as

A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder

,

Falsettos

and

Hadestown
