There were no injuries reported, but the emergency response disrupted the heavily trafficked area near 49th Street and Eighth Avenue.
Video from the scene showed firefighters climbing up their tower ladders onto the roof of the theater.
Clouds of smoke were also visible emerging from the roof.
The theater is home to “The Book of Mormon.” There are no scheduled performances for the show Monday, and there’s no word yet whether Monday’s incident will have any impact on Tuesday’s performances.
