On Broadway

This related to the size and location of the theater.

• Broadway: a theater of greater than 500 seats in the theater district of New York.

• Off-Broadway: a theater of between 99-500 seats, not necessarily in New York

• Off-Off Broadway: pretty much anything else

Why I Looked It Up

I’ve noticed that most of the “Broadway theaters” aren’t actually on Broadway. They’re on numbered streets in the midtown around (42nd to maybe 45th).
