Virginia/August Wilson Theatre Tickets and Seating Charts - New York, NY

Opened in 1925 as the Guild Theatre, the August Wilson Theatre was built by the subscription-based Theater Guild, an organization dedicated to uplifting artistic aspirations. It's a small, uniquely designed space with Tuscan Renaissance inspired details. The theater is known for its intimate setting, creating an extraordinary connection between the performers and the audience. In addition, its flat ceiling allows the sound to stay intact and not bounce off all over the theater, ideal for jukebox musicals. In 2005, the venue was renamed the August Wilson Theatre in honor of August Wilson, the Pulitzer Prize - winning playwright.

Past productions at the August Wilson Theatre include The Owl and the Pussycat, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Carrie, Little Women and City of Angels. From 2005 until recently, it was the home of Jersey Boys, a Tony Award - winning jukebox musical. Groundhog Day the Musical is one of the most recent productions at the August Wilson Theatre.
