Guide to Ed Sullivan Theater: Tickets, Events, and Venue Information

The Ed Sullivan Theater is a New York legend, a gilded Broadway venue at 1697 Broadway in Midtown, and the current home of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Built in 1927 and forever linked to television history, it hosted The Ed Sullivan Show and David Letterman, including watershed moments like the Beatles' 1964 U.S. TV debut. Today, its ornate auditorium welcomes TV tapings and special live events that put fans only a few rows from the action.

Comedy thrives here. Generations of stand-ups, from Ray Romano to Jim Gaffigan and Norm Macdonald, sharpened their sets on this stage, and Colbert continues the tradition with A-list comics, sharp monologues, and surprise music performances. The room is intimate with clear sightlines, plush seats, and crisp sound, all steps from Times Square and major subway lines.

Whether you want Late Show with Stephen Colbert tickets or seats to a one-night conversation or music taping, plan ahead since dates sell quickly and security policies can change by production. Buy Ed Sullivan Theater tickets on Vivid Seats for secure checkout, exceptional support, and a 100% Buyer Guarantee that lets every fan attend with confidence.
