Parking At A Glance

What to do
Select a garage with enough time for Midtown traffic, the walk to West 50th Street and the elevator to the correct room. The official venue site links a parking reservation service; confirm the actual facility and exit time before paying.
Best option
The owner lists nearby garages at 225 West 49th Street, 285 West 50th Street, 250 West 50th Street and 790 Seventh Avenue. Compare the chosen garage’s live price, hours and vehicle restrictions; the theater does not publish a universal parking rate.
Avoid
Do not treat the theater’s street address or a ticket as a parking reservation. Verify garage closing time, height restrictions and accessibility directly, especially for a late performance or tall vehicle.

Inside the venuePayment, water and the atmosphere

The experience

  • Best for: The Theater Center contains two distinct 199-seat rooms: Anne L. Bernstein has a proscenium layout, while Jerry Orbach uses a three-quarter thrust stage. Match the room on your ticket before comparing seating, lobby plans or photographs.
  • Watch out for: Small bags and backpacks are allowed, but luggage may not fit under seats. The owner FAQ gives Perfect Crime an age-13-plus rating and asks parody audiences to check the TV show’s age suitability; this differs from the older ticketing listing’s blanket under-five ban. Confirm the exact production’s child-admission rule before booking.
