Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre
Nestled in the heart of Broadway, the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre stands as a beacon of cultural revival, having played a pivotal role in rejuvenating the theater district during tough economic times. This historic venue gained acclaim for its bold programming, including the 2018 musical that brought LGBTQ+ narratives to the forefront, and is now set to host the electrifying performances of The Buena Vista Social Club New York. Despite the temporary closure in 2020 due to the global health crisis, the theatre has bounced back, offering a spacious musical arena where live performances, like The Buena Vista Social Club New York, come to life. Attendees can choose between the immersive main floor seats, which pull you into the heart of the story, or the more casually attired upper level for a relaxed viewing experience. Conveniently located, visitors can easily reach the theatre by taking the underground train to 42nd Street from the NY Historical Society or the history museum, followed by a short walk west to this iconic venue.
