Circle In The Square Theatre Concert and Event Tickets

The Circle in the Square Theatre is more than a Broadway theater — it's a boundary-pushing, audience-first space that turns every performance into an intimate experience. If you’re exploring the Circle In The Square Theatre seating chart, you’ll notice its rare arena-style design that wraps the stage with seating on all sides, creating an up-close connection between actors and audience.

Opened in 1972 and tucked beneath Paramount Plaza at 1633 Broadway, this 776-seat venue is the only Broadway theater located in a basement-level space with a conservatory operating inside. The flexible stage and seating configuration empower directors and designers to reimagine each production, and the venue’s compact footprint ensures you’re never far from the action.

From groundbreaking revivals to audience favorites, Circle in the Square hosts Broadway plays, musicals, and special theater performances alongside the renowned Circle in the Square Theatre School. The theater has welcomed a roster of acclaimed artists — including Al Pacino, Vanessa Redgrave, Kevin Kline, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Natasha Richardson, Daniel Radcliffe, John Malkovich, and Joan Allen — and has hosted the premieres of notable productions like The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee and Godspell.

What makes this venue truly distinctive is its in-the-round staging and adaptable seating — a rarity on Broadway. The configuration allows innovative set designs, highly choreographed movement, and immersive audience engagement that you won’t find in traditional proscenium houses. It’s also one of the few Broadway spaces where the layout may change by production, which is part of the magic.

Whether you’re catching a bold revival or a fresh new work, Circle in the Square delivers intimate sightlines, standout performances, and a uniquely collaborative atmosphere between cast and audience — right in the heart of Midtown Manhattan.

Seating Recommendations and Charts

Circle in the Square Theatre offers seating for approximately 776 guests, arranged in an in-the-round layout that surrounds the stage on all sides. This arena-style configuration means the farthest seats still feel close, with sections and rows designed to bring you nearer to the performers than most Broadway venues.

When you’re shopping for Circle In The Square Theatre tickets, use the Circle In The Square Theatre seating chart to compare sections and sightlines that work best for your show:

North Section (Rows A–K): Centered to one side of the circular stage, these seats often deliver balanced views as performers move around the set. Rows closer to the stage heighten immersion, while mid-rows provide a fuller perspective of the action.
South Section (Rows A–K): Similar in quality to the North side, the South section is great for productions that place key scenic elements opposite. Many theatergoers praise the central rows here for consistent, all-around sightlines.
East Section (Rows A–K): Given the in-the-round design, no seat is strictly “front,” but East center seats typically offer clear views of entrances and exits. Mid-to-upper rows can help you see choreography and blocking more comprehensively.
West Section (Rows A–K): Like the East, this side benefits from the theater’s symmetrical seating. If you prefer not to be too close, opt for mid-rows in the West for an excellent balance of intimacy and overall stage picture.
Accessible Seating and Premium Spots: Accessible locations are available and should be reserved in advance. Productions may designate limited VIP seating; regardless, central positions in any section are widely regarded as the most reliable for clean sightlines.

Because Circle in the Square’s setup can change by production, always review the specific map for your date. Use Ticket Purchase’ interactive seating chart to view live seat availability, compare prices, and choose the section that fits your experience.

Location and Transportation

Venue Address

Circle in the Square Theatre

1633 Broadway

New York, NY 10019

Located in Midtown Manhattan inside Paramount Plaza, the theater sits steps from the Broadway Theater District and Times Square, making it easy to pair your show with pre- or post-performance plans.

Parking: Several nearby parking garages; no dedicated on-site parking. Expect to pay $30–$60 for nearby garages. Street parking is extremely limited.
Public Transit: Multiple subway lines nearby — 1, 2, A, C, E at 50th St; N, Q, R, W at 49th St — plus numerous bus routes.
Rideshare & Dropoff: Designated pickup and dropoff zones along Broadway and 8th Avenue.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 45–60 minutes before curtain to navigate security, pick up tickets if needed, and get situated in your seats. The venue is in the basement of Paramount Plaza, and while there’s elevator access from street level, building entry and lobby flow can get busy right before showtime.

Public transit is your most efficient option in Midtown. If you’re driving, budget extra time for traffic and garage parking — nearby lots typically range from $30–$60. Rideshare is convenient with designated zones on Broadway and 8th Avenue; confirm your pickup spot after the show to avoid congestion.

Performances are indoors, so weather won’t impact the production, but inclement conditions can affect travel time. Cell service is generally strong in the area, though it may be more limited in basement spaces. If you’re meeting friends, set a clear rendezvous point before heading down to the theater level.

Venue Navigation

Inside, Circle in the Square’s arena-style design places the stage at the center, with seating sections wrapping around it. There are no traditional boxes or balconies, which keeps walking distances relatively short. Aisles are clearly marked, and ushers help direct you to the right section and row.

You’ll find basic concessions in the lobby for snacks and beverages, and show-specific merchandise stands nearby. Restrooms and limited lobby seating are available; there are no ATMs or charging stations, so plan accordingly. Comfortable footwear is a plus if you’ll be navigating a few stairs to your row.

Bag Policy: Bags may be subject to search; large bags and luggage are discouraged. No coat or bag check available.
Prohibited Items: Outside food and drink, weapons, large bags, professional cameras, and recording devices.
Re-entry Policy: Generally not permitted; exceptions may be made for emergencies.

Post-Purchase Tips — Be Ready for Event Day

Download your tickets before arriving — cell service can be limited.

Pre-Event Planning

Turn your night at Circle in the Square into a full Broadway experience. With Restaurant Row, Times Square, and the Theater District minutes away, you can grab dinner nearby and stroll to the show without rushing. Aim to arrive a bit early to enjoy the lobby atmosphere — productions sometimes feature themed concessions or displays.

Because the theater is in a basement-level space, choose a clear meeting spot with your group before you head downstairs. That makes it easier to enter together and find your seats promptly. If anyone in your party needs elevator access or extra time, arriving 45–60 minutes ahead will keep things smooth.

Keep an eye on public transit schedules and weather conditions, especially during peak commuting hours or inclement weather. A little planning goes a long way toward a low-stress, high-enjoyment evening.

Accessibility

Circle in the Square Theatre is ADA-accessible, with elevator access from street level to the theater entrance. Accessible seating is available and should be reserved in advance. Nearby garages may offer ADA parking spaces, and assistive listening devices are available upon request. While there are no mobility shuttles, staff can help direct you to the most accessible routes within the building.
