Wikipedia:Featured and good topic candidates/Active Broadway theaters/archive1
There are 41 active Broadway theaters listed by The Broadway League in New York City. The definition of what constitutes a Broadway theater has changed multiple times; the current legal definition is based on a 1949 Actors' Equity agreement with smaller theaters in New York to allow union members to perform, dividing theater spaces in the city into the system of Broadway and Off-Broadway seen today. The general rule is that any venue that mostly hosts legitimate theater productions, is generally within Manhattan's Theater District, and has a capacity over 500 seats is considered a Broadway theater.

This proposed good topic encompasses all 41 active Broadway theaters, which host productions that can be nominated for the Tony Awards, as listed in the Internet Broadway Database and Playbill. Found5dollar improved List of Broadway theaters to FL status in 2020, and I decided to improve all articles on Broadway theaters to GA status between 2021 and 2022. Most of the articles on this list were promoted to GA status by late 2022, and New Amsterdam Theatre was promoted to FA earlier this year. With the recent promotion of Circle in the Square Theatre, all articles in this topic are now GA or higher. --Epicgenius (talk) 00:59, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
