Skip the Line: Tour of Historic Hudson Theatre Ticket

Overview

Explore Broadway's Oldest Theater!

Opened in 1903 (just before the Lyceum and New Amsterdam Theaters), the Hudson is the oldest theater currently open on Broadway...but it hasn’t always been a part of the Great White Way. From a television studio to the home of "The Tonight Show" to a renovated Broadway house, Hudson Theatre has a fascinating 115 year history. You’ll hear behind-the-scenes stories about Broadway star Ethel Barrymore and how the theater is connected to the RMS Titanic...yes,

that Titanic.

We recently toured the Historic Hudson Theatre on 44th Street and thoroughly enjoyed learning about this beautiful property. The Tiffany skylights are amazing but so are the many original features of this historic stage. One could almost sense the presence of the many luminaries who have graced this stage from Elvis Presley to Barbra Streisand. How fortunate that this property was not demolished during the raze-happy 1960s when far too many historic buildings were torn down to make way for modern monstrosities. Our guide was excellent and extremely well-informed about the architectural features of the structure as well as the entertainment history of this legendary venue.

Our tour guides were phenomenal. One of the best tours I have ever been on. They were friendly, personable, and really know all kinds of cool stuff about this theater. It was an amazing experience! Unforgettable. We saw all kinds of things that no one usually gets to see at a theater, and learned about the current and past history of the amazing place. Be sure to check out the "TItanic" room as well. Amazing! Thank you all so very much.

Lots of history at this, the first Broadway theatre. The tour guide was quite informative and friendly. However, there is no behind-the-scenes aspect to the tour as we never went backstage, a major disappointment.
