Beacon Theater

2124 Broadway, New York, NY10023Get directionsCross Streets: Between W 74th St and W 75th St
The Beacon Theatre looks like a modern box office from the outside, but it was actually built in 1928. It is not only a movie theater, but a venue for musical events and seminars. This 2800-seater concert and early movie palace has played host to the who's who of the musical world. The ornate neo-Grecian interior features thirty-foot-tall Greek goddesses flanking the proscenium arch of its curtainless stage, which rises from the basement level and carries a full classical orchestra. Exquisite details abound throughout, including polished hardwood and terra cotta moldings, brass staircase rails, and corridor murals depicting Eastern scenes of trading caravans with elephants, camels and other animals.
Hours:
Box Office: Mon.-Fri. 11AM-7PM; Sat. noon-6PM; day of show until one hour after curtain
They never answer the phone.: I dislike the Beacon Theater's phone service. I have been calling to speak to a person, not a recording. They never pick up the phone and the some of the peple that work in the theater are very rude.
