Longacre Theatre

Henry B. Herts designed it in 1913 and named it for Longacre Square, which had already been renamed Times Square nine years earlier. The Shubert Organization runs 1,091 seats over three levels; Are You a Crook? opened the house and Children of a Lesser God holds the longest run. It is one of the wheelchair-accessible houses on the block.
