Minskoff Theatre

The Minskoff Theatre is a Broadway theatre, located at 1515 Broadway in midtown-Manhattan. It is currently home to the musical The Lion King, based on the Disney animated film of the same name.

The 1,621-seat venue, designed by architects Kahn and Jacobs, is on the third floor of One Astor Plaza, an office tower constructed on the site of the legendary Astor Hotel. Named after Sam Minskoff and Sons, builders and owners of the high-rise building, it opened March 13, 1973, with a revival of Irene starring Debbie Reynolds. Over the years it has served as host to musicals, dance companies, and concerts.
