Circle In The Square Theatre

Circle In The Square Theatre offers one of the most intimate Broadway experiences in New York City. Located in the Paramount Plaza building, this subterranean space is famous for its unique thrust stage and steep, horseshoe-shaped auditorium. The design brings the audience incredibly close to the performers, creating a shared energy that conventional proscenium theatres cannot match. Every seat feels close to the action, making it a favoured venue for intense dramas and reimagined musicals that thrive on proximity and clear acoustics.

Entering the venue involves descending a long escalator into a lobby that feels entirely removed from the bustle of Times Square. Because the stage is surrounded by spectators on three sides, directors use the space to create highly immersive environments where the set design often extends into the seating area itself. Anyone purchasing circle in the square theatre tickets can expect a distinct theatrical encounter where actors move through the aisles and the boundary between the stage and the audience disappears.
