by far the best theater in the area, nice comfortable seats unlike hard plastic backers you would get at regal, a balcony great digital sound, they run 2nd run prints but its still a great shot if only for the experiance of seeing a film in one of the last great movie palaces on the coast
october 26th at 11:30 pm the broadway will run FRIDAY THE 13TH and again at 8:30 on october 28th with classic drive in preshows and vintage horror trailers. theres gonna be trivia and prizes and other specials for more info hit me up at
Have new wider seats been installed? I was there before the renovation in ‘02 for “Die Another Day,” and the seats were a little too confining for my ante-1926 posterior.
worked as a manager at the broadway for 4 months and the building is amazing fully restored to its former glory now if they would just gear projects more towards revival films and less live theater
Nice marquee. Good job. Any photos of the old vertical one? And the old link in the description should be replaced by the current one.

While New Jersey’s neighboring Pennsylvania is about to be pummeled with gambling casinos soon — certainly a great tragedy for Pennsylvania — I’m greatly hoping the diverting of gambling traffic that will cause will enable South Jersey to come back in positive ways it hasn’t gotten to in years! If what I’m hoping for is true, the Pittman Broadway Theatre looks perfectly positioned for this, while it’s hoped the Beach Theatre in Cape May will survive to see that glorious event as well! And I assume I’m not the only one on this page who feels that way.
I’ve never heard South Jersey referred to as “Southern NJ” before. I grew up in Absecon, which is close to Atlantic City.

“I still don’t understand why some of the big Hollywood organizations are NOT contributing toward saving these theaters”
Sorry for the typo…
Just went to see Santa Clause 3 with my kids. They loved watching a movie from the balcony of the theater. They were amazed that it was “sooooo big” inside since they have only been to the local 8 screen multiplexes with their cramped theaters and small screens. I am very happy I was able to share this with my kids before all these wonders are gone forever. I still don’t understand why some of the big Hollywood organizations are contributing toward saving these theaters. One donation from a big name could support a theater like the Broadway for a very long time. Lest they forget these are the venues that made Hollywood what it is today.
NOTE anyone interested George Carlin is doing two shows here on the 23rd of February. Tickets are 45 and 42 dollars ( a bargain by todays standards. ) They are available at the website http://www.thebroadwaytheatre.org . I’ll see you there….
The Broadway Theatre is also once again showing movies. This week Superman Returns plays at 7:30pm and on the weekends there is a children’s matinee. Call the Box Office for more information – 856.384.8381
Good news for Broadway Theatre fans – the first show at the newly renovated Broadway Theatre is coming very soon! Apparently, a South Jersey theatre company called Spotliters is putting on a production of the comedy “Harvey” (think 1940s Jimmy Stewart movie – the 6-foot tall invisible white rabbit).
The show will be Friday 9/29/06 & Sat. 9/30 (both at 8pm), as well as the following Thurs 10/5, Fri. 10/6, Sat. 10/7 (all at 8pm), and closing Sun. 10/8 with a 2pm matinee. According to the sign in the theatre’s window, tickets are $12 for Seniors and kids under 12, and are $15 for general admission.
Since I can’t wait until 2007 to see the theatre’s own productions in the newly renovated building, I’ll be there in under 2 weeks to see the first show at the new theatre. After such a long wait, it’s about time our local landmark opened back up!
I wish Cinema Treasures would update their “official” link on this page, which points to nowhere!! That write-up is a bit dated as well..

Look what I found in recent news for the theater. I always felt Munyon was an *ss, now I know it. My husband used to complain that all he did was whine that he couldn’t keep the place going:

And here is the new website for the theater:

I lived in Washington Twp NJ from 2002 to June of this year (2006), at which time my family and I moved back home to Philadelphia.
While we lived in NJ, I was involved in helping the Broadway Theater, and donated a considerable amt of money to the fund they had to help save the theater.
Does anyone know where that money wound up?
Wishing the beautiful Palace theatre of Pitman,New Jersey a very successful future!
Here’s a link to video from the marquee lighting ceremony with a great sound byte from Pitman councilman Walt Madison

Hi all –
The Broadway Theatre is still undergoing cleanup for restoration under new owner Peter Slack. Anyone interested in volunteering to assist in the cleanup process can call Slack Inc. at 856-848-1000. Some of you are probably already involved in this but I thought I’d post it anyway in case somebody hadn’t heard. Can you think of anything better than participating in bringing this jewel back to its prime!!!

Hi Jason,
I grew up in Washington Township and spent most Saturday afternoons attending matinees at the Broadway Theatre. Many fond memories there but my favorite memory came years later. I think it was in the 1970s (it’s hard to remember when you’re getting as old as dirt!) when live country music performers were being booked to play here. The acoustics were unbelievable and the excitement of seeing big stars in such a small venue made it feel almost like a private party. My whole family saw Ronnie Milsap at one show and Larry Gatlin and the Gatlin brothers at another. And after the Gatlin brothers show, we actually got to talk with them when they went across the street to the Pitman News Agency to grab a bite to eat!
Can’t wait to see the Broadway reopened in the near future.
Terry
