When you are going to get tickets for a Broadway theatre production, you might want to consider getting Helen Hayes Theatre tickets, because this venue, though small, can certainly impress theatre critics. Located at 240 West 44th Street in midtown-Manhattan, the Helen Hayes has put on fantastic productions that include past hits like "Dirty Blonde," "Prelude to a Kiss," and "Xanadu."
When it opened in 1912, the Little Theatre, as it was called then, could only fit about 300 in the audience at max capacity. Later, the Helen Hayes Theatre seating chart and pretty much the entire interior of the building was redesigned and reconstructed by famed theatre architect Herbert J. Krapp, so that the venue could hold almost 600 people for shows.
In addition to the numerous stars of stage that have been showcased here over the years, the Helen Hayes Theatre has been the venue for several staged television shows. Dick Clark, Johnny Carson, and Merv Griffin all had shows that were broadcast from the Helen Hayes Theater, which was at that time called the Little Theatre.
