Considered to be one of the last public commissions by Frank Lloyd Wright, the ASU Gammage is located on the Arizona State University campus in Tempe, Arizona. This multipurpose performing arts center opened in 1964 for $2.46 million. Originally the plans for the building were to be used to build an opera house in Baghdad, but those plans fell through. Wright worked with the then ASU president, Grady Gammage, to create a space that would not only welcome visitors and students to the campus but would also serve as a major facility for nationally touring Broadway productions like Hamilton, the Phantom of the Opera and Wicked.

The theatre and its incredible architectural structure mean that even patrons 115 feet away from the stage on the balcony can hear everything without amplification. The Grady Gammage Memorial Auditorium is a nonprofit serving the community's access to fine arts education. The majority of the revenue produced at the ASU Gammage Auditorium is sourced from their annual Broadway Series productions.

The 3,017-seat auditorium features a continental-style seating chart and has three sections of seating: the orchestra, the grand tier and the balcony. This means that even-numbered seats are on house right, with odd-numbered seating on house left. The lower your number, the closer you are to the center. There are no aisle seats; when Disney’s The Lion King is performed at the auditorium, aisle seats are created so the cast can assemble on the stage at the start of the musical.
