The Hershey Theatre is more than a theater — it's a historic landmark that elevates every performance with timeless elegance. Located in the heart of Hershey, Pennsylvania, it’s a must-visit destination for fans browsing Hershey Theatre upcoming events, from Broadway tours to powerhouse concerts and comedy. Step inside and you’ll feel the energy of a venue that’s delighted audiences for over 90 years.

Opened in 1933 with seating for 1,904 guests, the theatre showcases opulent Venetian and Byzantine-inspired architecture. Intricate tile work, marble accents, and an ornate proscenium arch set a dramatic stage, while a soaring grand lobby with elegant chandeliers invites you to linger before the show.

The programming is as rich as the building’s history. Hershey Theatre welcomes touring Broadway shows, classical music, dance, concerts, comedy, and beloved community performances. Celebrated artists and productions have graced this stage — from Tony Bennett, The Beach Boys, and Mannheim Steamroller to Riverdance, Blue Man Group, Jerry Seinfeld, Kristin Chenoweth, and Harry Connick Jr.

One of the theatre’s signature features is its historic four-manual, 78-rank Aeolian-Skinner pipe organ — a rare treasure that enhances special events and occasional demonstrations. Thoughtful restorations have preserved the building’s original character while maintaining a world-class experience.

Whether you’re here for a Broadway national tour or a holiday tradition, the Hershey Theatre delivers an intimate, unforgettable night out. With a legacy shaped by Milton S. Hershey’s “Great Building Campaign,” it’s a premier cultural hub that feels both grand and welcoming.

Location and Transportation

Venue Address

Hershey Theatre

15 E Caracas Ave

Hershey, Pennsylvania 17033

Just about 15 miles east of Harrisburg, the theatre sits in central Hershey — close to area attractions and convenient parking, making it an easy night out for locals and visitors alike.

Parking: Free parking is available in adjacent lots, with additional garage options nearby. Event nights feature clear signage and attendants to guide you.
Public Transit: Limited public transit options; local bus service is available from Harrisburg, but most visitors drive.
Rideshare & Dropoff: Designated pickup and dropoff areas are located near the main entrance on E Caracas Ave.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 60–90 minutes before showtime. You’ll breeze through parking, enjoy the historic grand lobby, and have time for concessions before the curtain rises. Security screening is required, so factor in a few extra minutes at entry.

Since this is an indoor venue, weather rarely impacts the experience — but it can affect traffic and parking demand during peak seasons. With minimal walking and elevators available, the theatre is easy to navigate for most guests.

If you’re meeting friends, set a rendezvous point in the lobby near the chandeliers or concessions. This gives your group a simple landmark amid the pre-show buzz and leaves time to admire the ornate tile work and marble details that make the Hershey Theatre special.

Venue Navigation

The theatre’s classic layout — Orchestra, Mezzanine, and Balcony with side box seating — makes it straightforward to find your section. Elevators and ramps connect public areas, and ushers are on hand to assist with seating.

Concession stands offer snacks, beverages, and light fare, including local Hershey’s chocolate treats and themed concessions. You’ll also find merchandise stands during major shows and ATMs in the lobby. Restrooms are located on multiple levels; plan a brief intermission line if you’re seated farther from the aisles. Comfortable shoes are always a good idea, particularly if you’ll be exploring the grand lobby or moving between levels.

Security and Policies

Bag Policy: Small bags permitted; large bags and backpacks discouraged. Security screening at entry.
Prohibited Items: Weapons, outside food and drink, large bags, professional cameras, recording devices.
Re-entry Policy: No re-entry once you exit the venue.

Post-Purchase Tips — Be Ready for Event Day

Download your tickets before arriving — cell service can be limited.
Bring a valid ID and cashless payment option.
Charge your phone fully.
Review venue policies in advance.
Arrive early to explore the grand lobby and ornate auditorium — they’re part of the experience.
If you’re interested, ask an usher about any scheduled pipe organ demonstrations; they’re occasional highlights.

Pre-Event Planning

Build time into your evening to enjoy the theatre itself — the soaring lobby, elegant chandeliers, and intricate tile and marble details are worth a pre-show stroll. With Hershey Theatre events ranging from Broadway to concerts and comedy, checking the event schedule in advance helps you plan for run times and intermissions.

For groups, coordinate seat locations during purchase and set a meeting point near concessions or the lobby’s central area. If you’re celebrating a special occasion, consider arriving at the early end of the 60–90 minute window to take in the atmosphere and shop merchandise before the crowds build. And if you catch a night with an organ demonstration, it’s a memorable addition to the evening.

Accessibility

Hershey Theatre is ADA-accessible, with ADA parking in adjacent lots near the main entrance, accessible seating in the Orchestra and select areas, and elevators and ramps connecting all public spaces. Assistive listening devices are available upon request, and there’s an accessible drop-off close to the entrance.

For assistance choosing accessible seating, contact Ticket Purchase for personalized support before purchasing.
