Playbill’s photo series, Inside the Theatre, captures the dazzling architecture and unseen details of the world’s most famous theatres, taking you inside all 41 of Broadway's currently-operating houses.
The Vivian Beaumont Theater opened in the Lincoln Center complex in 1965, designed by Jo Mielziner and Eero Saarinen and named for the donor who contributed to its creation. Located on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, it is the only Broadway theatre situated outside of the Times Square district.

After management reorganization, the Lincoln Center Theater was established in 1985 under the direction of Gregory Mosher and Bernard Gersten. In 1992, André Bishop succeeded Gregory Mosher as artistic director. Together, they helped to elevate the venue into the theater it is today.
Not only is the Lincoln Center Theater home of the Vivian Beaumont, it also houses the 299-seat Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater and the 112-seat Claire Tow Theater.
