Lincoln Center Theater - Claire Tow Theater Concert and Event Tickets

The Lincoln Center Theater - Claire Tow Theater is more than a theater — it's a rooftop jewel that brings you closer to the pulse of New York’s next great works. Perched above the Vivian Beaumont Theater at 150 West 65th Street, this intimate Off-Broadway space makes every performance feel personal.

Opened in 2012, the Claire Tow Theater seats just 112 guests, delivering an up-close audience experience rare in New York City.

The venue is part of a two-story, 23,000-square-foot addition to the Lincoln Center complex and features a rooftop patio with panoramic views.

Programming centers on LCT3, Lincoln Center Theater’s initiative for producing new works by emerging artists, alongside recurring new play festivals and the LCT3 x Seaview The Comedy Series. Acclaimed playwrights and creators whose works have premiered here include Ayad Akhtar, Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, and Dave Malloy, with several shows transferring to larger venues or earning major awards.

The experience is defined by intimacy, innovation, and discovery. With reserved, single-level seating and stellar sightlines from every row, you’re immersed in bold storytelling from curtain rise to final bow — with the rooftop patio waiting for a pre- or post-show moment above the city skyline.
