Since its opening in January 1926, this all-purpose arts facility in the heart of the Buffalo Theater District has seen everything from the antics of The Marx Brothers and Bob Hope, to The Phantom of the Opera, The Lion King and Miss Saigon. The facility attracts some 300,000 patrons annually for its eclectic combination of Broadway musicals, opera, dance, childrens programming, concerts and even classic movies.

Run by a not-for-profit association, the space is as architecturally-important as some of the theater that passes through--with chandeliers in the Grand Lobby, Mediterranean marble, and Tiffany design. In 1975, it was placed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Tickets for Broadway shows range from $15-55, depending on the event and the evening. Tickets available at box office, by phoning 716-852-5000, or at all Ticketmaster locations.
