Broadway Theaters with center aisle#1

Hello all!

 

So this may sound like a strange question but I'm currently writing a short story and I was wondering if anyone had a list of Broadway Theaters that have a center aisle. Preferably all the way from back of house to the stage. 

 

Thanks!

The Booth is (I think) the closest that you'll find to what you're looking for.

The Golden has the center aisle you're describing.

The booth actually doesn't have that center aisle anymore. Not sure about the Golden.

mpd beat me to it with The Golden.

Do a google image search for "broadway theater seating charts" and you can scan a whole bunch of results.

I like a good rhyme more than a good time

I thought of the Golden, too, but it looks like it may not have it currently:

Yes, the Palace has that. I sat on the center aisle for AAIP.

The Shubert has a center aisle for the first few rows. The Booth and Golden do not have a center aisle.

I'll always remember seeing "Priscilla Queen of the Desert" at the Palace a few years ago. Of course, there's the scene with the ping pong balls - launched all over the theatre. About 10 minutes or so later, in the middle of a quiet scene, some stray balls became dislodged and started rolling down that long, long center aisle.

The Samuel J. Friedman Theatre (Manhattan Theatre Club) has this as well.  There is only a left and right orchestra.

I don't recall seeing a center aisle the Golden for any of a few recent shows: I sat Side Orch for A TIME TO KILL and Rear Orch for VANYA & SONIA and there were the conventional two aisles for each show. Maybe since the renovation a few years ago it's been this way...

The Friedman was my first thought, though. That absolutely has a full-length center aisle.

Words don't deserve that kind of malarkey. They're innocent, neutral, precise, standing for this, describing that, meaning the other, so if you look after them you can build bridges across incomprehension and chaos. But when they get their corners knocked off, they're no good anymore…I don't think writers are sacred, but words are. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones in the right order, you can nudge the world a little.
