About Circle in the Square Theatre


The Circle in the Square Theatre, located at the Paramount Plaza, is one of the newer Broadway theaters, having opened in 1972. This theater is different from your average Broadway theaters in more ways than one. Unlike a regular theater with the stage at one end of the building with seating starting from the beginning of the stage, the Circle in the Square Theatre, like the name suggests, has its stage in the middle, surrounded by seats in varying order.
