Nederlander Organization operates 9 Broadway houses, from the Gershwin Theatre (about 1,933 seats) down to the Lena Horne Theatre (about 1,069). An operator owns or leases the building and books productions into it; the shows themselves come and go.

Its houses sit on 6 different streets, from West 41st Street to West 52nd Street. Ticketing generally runs through the operator's own box offices and online seller, so the seat maps for these houses look alike.
