By the way, What’s the difference between Broadway, Off-Broadway and Off-Off Broadway theaters? Believe it or not, it has NOTHING to do with whether the theater is located on Broadway. In fact, there are only 4 theaters (Palace, Broadway, Marquis and Winter Garden) that are actually on Broadway. The rest of the so-called "Broadway Theaters" are on side streets. The designation is simply based on the size of the theater:
- Theaters with 700 or more seats are called Broadway Theaters
- Theaters with 100-699 are designated as Off-Broadway, and
- Theaters with under 100 seats are known as Off-Off Broadway.
