The Trocadero

The Trocadero Theatre initially opened up in 1870 as a house for traveling minstrel shows and musical comedies. Later on, burlesque and vaudeville found its stage, and later still, it was restored to be used as theater and fine-arts theater. In 1986, the Trocadero was once more redesigned for its present use for a concert hall and party club. The Trocadero is the sole 19th century Victorian theater still functioning within the USA.

Nowadays, the Trocadero Theatre presents over 150 live shows and events yearly including shows by national recording artists such as the Wu Tang Clan, Patti Smith, Mos Def, The White Stripes and Bob Dylan.

Located in Chinatown, the total capacity of The Trocadero is 1200 standing room or 550 to 600 for totally-seated shows. The Balcony, which is the Troc’s more compact stage, is the place where the Troc hosts scaled-down events of 250 capacity or fewer.
