Transit, taxis, and rideshare alternatives

Many guests choose not to drive to Walter Kerr Theatre and instead rely on New York City’s public transit or taxi network to avoid navigating Midtown traffic and parking. Subway and bus routes serving Times Square and the surrounding blocks place you within a short walk of the theatre, and yellow cabs or rideshare services can be used for the final leg of your trip. When using rideshare or taxis, plan a pickup or drop‑off point on a nearby avenue or cross street that your driver can reach safely, and allow extra walking time through busy sidewalks around show times.

What to confirm before your show

Because this guide cannot reflect live operational changes, you should confirm a few details shortly before your visit. Check your event information for any parking or drop‑off instructions specific to that performance, such as recommended garages or temporary street closures. If you are driving, verify your chosen garage’s address, hours, and any size limits or special rules. If you are using transit, confirm weekend or late‑night service changes that might affect your return trip. Finally, build in enough time between your planned arrival in the area and curtain so you can park or disembark, walk to the theatre, pass through any entry procedures, and reach your seat without rushing.
