Tickets for our shows can be purchased either in-person through the Shea’s Box Office (located directly next door on Main Street) or online through Ticketmaster.

Shea’s Buffalo Theatre is located at 646 Main Street, and is also accessible through Theatre Place next door, the Shea’s Box Office, or the Pearl Street entrance.

If you are coming to see a show at one of our other theaters, the Shea’s Smith Theatre entrance is right through the Shea’s Box Office, and Shea’s 710 Theatre is just up the street at 710 Main Street!

There is street parking usually available, as well as privately-owned parking lots. Please read the signs to see where and if you need to pay for parking. If you prefer to take the NFTA-Metro to Shea’s, the nearest train station is one block south at Fountain Plaza.

Don’t forget about getting dinner with your show! The Shea’s Bistro & Bar offers full dinner and lunch service during all the Broadway performances at Shea’s Buffalo Theatre. Enjoy a prix-fixe dinner and our unique show-themed cocktails to make your evening complete. New menus are crafted for each production, using seasonal ingredients.

Reservations are strongly recommended.

We want our patrons to have the full Shea’s experience, from Main Street to your seat! While you are waiting for the show to start, there is so much you can do at Shea’s:

• Now, you can see Your Name in Lights! Before our Broadway shows, you have your name featured on the Shea’s marquee as part of our welcome message.
• We offer a Coat Check right by the Main Street entrance, with a $1.00 donation (please note that fur coats will not be accepted). You can also inquire here about borrowing booster seats for young children, or using Assisted Listening Devices – both T- Coil induction loops and Headphones are provided with this service, free of charge!

• There are Concession stands and Bars available in the Petite Lobby – candy and snack items may be enjoyed in the theater! Photo ID is required for the purchase of alcoholic items. Alcoholic beverages cannot be taken into the theater. Shea’s reserves the right to refuse service of alcoholic beverages to any guest at any time for any reason, in accordance with New York State Liquor Law.

• Our Shea’s Spotlight Committee runs the Champagne Table during all Broadway performances as part of their volunteer fund-raising efforts to support Shea’s as a National Historic Site. Get a glass to enjoy before your show!

• To our season Subscribers, we offer the opportunity to join us in the Spotlight Lounge before shows and during intermissions. With coat check, complimentary beverages, light refreshments  – the Spotlight Lounge is located at the top of the Grand Staircase.

When the theater is not occupied by a show (a “dark day”), Shea’s Buffalo Theatre is often reserved for private events or is already being prepared for the next production! However, that doesn’t mean our doors are closed…aside from our regular Box Office hours, the theater also offers Historic Tours and is available as a venue for rental.

Since we have to work around our busy show schedule, arrangements must be made in advance. Please contact us today to ask about tours or booking a date!

Shea’s Performing Arts Center is centered in downtown Buffalo; surrounded by hotels, restaurants, bars, and local attractions all within a few blocks’ radius (including the NFTA-Metro station at Fountain Plaza). From Canalside to Niagara Falls, there is so much to see and do in Western New York!
