About This Theatre

The Majestic Theatre was originally built in 1927 by real-estate magnates the Chanin Brothers as part of a three-theatre complex that also included the Royale (a midsize house) and the Theatre Masque, now the John Golden (a small house). The Majestic, a large musical house, complemented the other two venues, enabling producers to move shows based on their ticket sales to the most appropriately-sized venue. In 1930, the Chanins transferred ownership of all three houses to the Shuberts.

The Majestic Theatre has 1,681 seats and is one of the Shubert Organization‘s 17 Broadway theatres.

Majestic Theatre History ImageThe Majestic, currently owned by the Shubert Organization and one of the largest houses on Broadway, was designed by Herbert J. Krapp and opened March 28, 1927.

The Phantom of the Opera, the theatre’s longest-running resident, opened January 25, 1988, making it the longest-running show in Broadway history. Over the course of its run, it was the largest single generator of income and jobs in Broadway and U.S. theatrical history, employing more than 400 actors. The production closed on April 16, 2023 after nearly 14,000 performances.

Previous tenants include 42nd Street, directed by Gower Champion; a revival of Brigadoon; Richard Rodgers’s final musical, I Remember Mama, starring Liv Ullmann; and Ballroom, starring Dorothy Loudon. The 1970s saw Sugar, starring Robert Morse and Tony Roberts; Mack and Mabel, with Bernadette Peters starring opposite Robert Preston; The Wiz; a Tony-winning Liza Minnelli in The Act; and a musical version of The Teahouse of the August Moon titled Lovely Ladies, Kind Gentlemen.

The 1960s began with Camelot starring Richard Burton (who won a Tony), Julie Andrews, and Robert Goulet. Other productions of this decade were a revival of The School for Scandal with John Gielgud and Ralph Richardson; Judy Holliday in her final Broadway outing, Hot Spot; Mary Martin in the musical Jennie, said to be partly based on the life of actress Laurette Taylor; Anyone Can Whistle, with Lee Remick and Angela Lansbury; and Golden Boy, starring Sammy Davis Jr. Funny Girl transferred here from the Winter Garden and Fiddler on the Roof from the Imperial.

The 1950s saw Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Me and Juliet; By the Beautiful Sea with Shirley Booth; Fanny starring Ezio Pinza, Florence Henderson, and Walter Slezak; and The Music Man starring Robert Preston. And two of the biggest hits of the ’40s played here: Carousel and South Pacific.
