Lamb's Theatre was an Off-Broadway theater located at 130 West 44th Street, Manhattan, New York City[2] inside the Manhattan Church of the Nazarene, near Times Square in New York City. It seated approximately 350 and specialized in musical productions.[3] The building was built in 1904–1905 and was designed by Stanford White as the headquarters of the theater club The Lambs.[1]

In 2007, the venue was closed to make way for the Chatwal New York hotel.[4][1][5]
