The Minskoff Theatre, perched on the third floor of One Astor Plaza, the fifty-five-story office tower on the site of Broadway's old Astor Hotel, derives its name from Sam Minskoff and Sons, builders and owners of the high-rise.
The modern theatre, with a very large seating capacity of 1,621 seats, was designed by the architectural firm of Kahn and Jacobs and offers a spectacular view of the Great White Way from the glass front of the building on all levels of the theatre.

The theatre features an arcade that runs from Forty-fourth to Forty-fifth streets. Inside the spacious lobby, dual escalators take playgoers to the third level of the Grand Foyer of the house. Here there are coat-checking concessions and bars. Additional escalators rise to the fourth, or orchestra, level. At the time of the theatre's opening in 1973, Robert A. Jacobs, partner-in-charge of Kahn and Jacobs, told PLAYBILL: "A theatre that is thirty-five feet in the air is quite an innovation.
