Lena Horne Theatre

Krapp built it for Irwin Chanin as the Mansfield in 1926; it went dark from 1950, reopened in 1960 as the Brooks Atkinson, and was renamed in 2022 for the singer, the first Broadway house named for a Black woman. The Nederlander Organization runs the 1,094-seat room, where Six is both the longest run and the current show.
