The Neil Simon Theatre, formerly the Alvin Theatre, is a Broadway venue built in 1927 and located at 250 West 52nd Street in midtown-Manhattan.

A revival production of Ragtime began on October 23, 2009, but due to poor ticket sales, 'Ragtime' closed on January 10, 2010 after 28 previews and 65 regular performances. On October 19, 2010, "RAIN: A Tribute To The Beatles" will open at the Neil Simon Theatre for a limited 12 week run. The new musical Catch Me If You Can will begin performances at the theatre in spring 2011.
