Hayes Theatre

The Hayes Theatre, formerly known as the Helen Hayes, stands as Broadway’s smallest theater in the heart of New York’s Theater District. This historic neo-Georgian venue, with fewer than 600 seats, provides an intimate and up-close experience. Operated by Second Stage Theater, it is renowned for hosting critically acclaimed dramas and small-scale musicals. The theater focuses on bold, contemporary productions, particularly works by living American playwrights, making it a distinctive destination for those looking to explore beyond mainstream offerings.
