About Us

Studio 54 is far more than a theater — it is a living monument to New York City's cultural soul. Nestled at 254 West 54th Street, this legendary address has witnessed decades of transformation, from its electric disco-era origins to its current incarnation as one of Broadway's most beloved intimate venues under Roundabout Theatre Company.

Step inside and you feel it immediately: the architecture hums with history, the sightlines are breathtakingly close, and the energy between performer and audience is unlike anything you'll find in a larger house. Every seat places you practically on stage, collapsing the distance between storytelling and spectacle. With a 4.6-star rating earned across nearly 1,800 reviews, audiences consistently return for productions that challenge, delight, and move them.

From headline-grabbing productions like The Rocky Horror Show — complete with immersive, jaw-dropping décor — to groundbreaking new works and celebrated revivals, Studio 54 delivers theatrical experiences that stay with you long after the curtain falls. This is not just a night out. This is New York theater at its most intimate, electric, and unforgettable.

"Watched The Rocky Horror Show here and had a great time! The Mezzanine seats are a big cramped for leg space so make sure to get Orchestra seating if you're a taller person. The setting and ambience is very classic feeling as this is an older theatre. Staff are friendly and helpful."

"Great small venue where every seat is practically on stage. But smallest seats. Your knees will be in your chest or you'll be sitting at a weird angle. Awesome immersive decorations for Rocky Horror."

"I saw THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW and the space was perfect for it. Beautiful theatre. Because it's an older theater the ladies room isn't large enough so there was a long line."

"Nice cozy theater with good stage views and acoustics We visited Studio 54 for two performances in 2025. The first time we sat in the orchestra, and the second time in the mezzanine, and on both occasions we had a good clear view of the stage. The theater is almost 100 years old and is cute and cozy. Overall, a good theater with solid acoustics and clear stage views."
