I just saw Petite Rouge at the COMPANY XIV theater in Bushwick, Brooklyn, and it was easily one of the most unique shows I have ever seen in my life. The entire production was incredibly entertaining from start to finish. It feels exactly like Little Red Riding Hood meets Moulin Rouge, blending a classic story with a high energy, immersive vibe. The dancers are absolutely amazing, putting on flawless and captivating routines, and the live vocals are beautiful and powerful. The talent in this cast is undeniable, and the creativity behind the concept is brilliant. If you are looking for a spectacular, one of a kind night out in Brooklyn, I highly recommend seeing this show.

BAH is such an awesome, unique, versatile space! We booked the gallery and studio 2 for my 40th Birthday party and it was absolutely perfect for our artsy guests and I. Everyone had a great time and enjoyed the drinks and Mediterranean food immensely (compliments to chef Marisa!). Brianna and the rest of the staff were so helpful, friendly, and calm throughout the whole event. A huge thank you to Isaac for being so accommodating and flexible throughout the planning process. I am so thankful we found this space. It made a special celebration that much more memorable-- thank you again!

What a great space. I loved every production I went to see there throughout the years. Very charming, kind and warm. I went three times to see The Irrepressible Magic of the Tropics by Julian Mesri.

We attended the "I Do I Do " performance last night and it was a wonderful show. We were so blessed to take part of the renewal of our vows . Thank you so much for being apart of making a memory that we can cherish .

I had an amazing experience at tonight's performance of Sweet Blood. The set, the cast, the story were so very intoxicating. I didn't know what to expect with it being a period piece but loved the story of sisterly bonds and the unique experience women across the ages undergo in male centered world. The Director Amin is awesome! His vibe and the enthusiasm he brings is what is needed in our community. Prior to his arrival I had never thought of Jack as a space for me or the neighborhood's old timers. The welcoming atmosphere and the inclusivity that he embodies is refreshing. The Arts should be accessible to all and I love that I can find it so close to home!

It's a church that apparently has some metal shows occasionally. Things didn't exactly go well with the show I saw. Started late, and the last band (Oldest Sea) didn't have the time they should have, which was a shame. Sound was a little messym reminiscent of the shows of my youth, but the bands were older. No alcohol in the venue, and shows end promptly at 10. With better organization from the bands, this is a cool place to see a show.

Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts is one of the most impressive cultural destinations in New York City. The entire complex feels elegant, organized, and full of artistic energy. From the moment you arrive, you can see the iconic plaza with its beautiful fountain, surrounded by world-class venues like the Metropolitan Opera House and David Geffen Hall. What makes Lincoln Center special is not just the performances, but the atmosphere itself. Even if you are not attending a show, it is worth visiting just to walk around, sit by the fountain, and take in the surroundings. The architecture is clean and classic, especially at night when everything is lit up and feels even more vibrant. If you are planning to attend a performance, the experience is very well organized. Entry is smooth, staff are professional, and everything feels high quality. The acoustics inside the halls are excellent, and the seating is designed to give a good view from almost every angle. Whether it is opera, ballet, or a concert, the level of performance here is truly top-tier. Another great aspect is the location. It is easy to reach and close to other parts of the Upper West Side, making it simple to combine your visit with a walk in Central Park or a nearby restaurant. The area feels safe and well maintained, which adds to the overall experience. The only thing to keep in mind is that events can be expensive and the area can get crowded during popular performances. However, even with that, it still feels enjoyable and not overwhelming. Overall, Lincoln Center is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates music, art, or architecture. It offers a perfect mix of culture, design, and atmosphere, making it one of the standout locations in New York City.

Seeing Wicked at the Gershwin Theatre was an unforgettable experience. The theater itself is beautiful, spacious, and well-organized, making it easy to navigate even with large crowds. The seating offers great views from almost every angle, and the acoustics are excellent--you feel completely immersed from the moment the show begins. As for Wicked, it absolutely lives up to the hype. The performances were powerful and emotionally engaging, with standout vocals that gave me chills. The set design, costumes, and special effects were stunning, especially during iconic moments like "Defying Gravity." It's a perfect blend of storytelling, music, and spectacle. The entire experience--from entering the theater to the final curtain call--felt seamless and magical. If you're in New York, this is a must-see show in a fantastic venue. Highly recommend!

The Minskoff Theatre is one of the most modern Broadway venues in terms of technology and audience layout. It's absolutely massive, with a scale that immediately gives it a sense of exclusivity and grandeur. Inside, the theater is beautifully themed around The Lion King, with design elements that immerse you in the world of the show from the moment you walk in. I attended through the Broadway lottery and was lucky enough to get incredible orchestra seats on row 10, right in the center, which turned out to be a perfect vantage point. From that perspective, you can fully appreciate the intricate choreography and the artistry behind the puppetry. The performers skillfully manipulate puppets and props as part of the storytelling, creating a layered and visually rich experience that feels exactly as intended for the audience. The cast is highly professional, with strong emotional presence and connection to their characters. The music stays true to the original Disney production, including songs performed in their original languages and dialects, which adds authenticity and depth. The show runs close to three hours, which might feel a bit long depending on your preference, but for those who truly enjoy theater, it's a complete and rewarding experience. One of the most unique aspects is how the performers move beyond the stage and interact within the theater space, creating a sense of immersion that makes you feel part of the performance. This is definitely a great show to attend with family (children and older adults). The music, orchestra, and overall production quality are impeccable. Highly recommended.

Absolutely amazing! I brought my mom who is a big lover of both Shakespeare and HBO's drunk history and it couldn't have landed better. Got the "Royal Experience" and it was worth every penny. Fantastic cast, great experience, A1 drinks, and laugh out loud raunchy funny. What more could you want!?

The David H. Koch Theater is an impressive venue with grand architecture that feels both solid and timeless. It has a refined and elegant atmosphere. The space is spacious and thoughtfully designed. Seating is well arranged, and from the mezzanine I had a great, unobstructed view of the ballet. It's located right next to the Metropolitan Opera House and there is parking available within the complex, which is very convenient. A helpful tip: arrive early. Entry can be a bit confusing in terms of where to go and how to access different levels, and there are no late seatings, so timing is important. Also, parking is paid via QR code, but there's no signal underground,so make sure to handle that before going down or once you're back upstairs. Overall, it's an elegant and well-organized theater, perfect for enjoying ballet and performances in New York City.

I am new to this theater. This was my second show and it was fantastic. The staff were friendly and the show was great. I love West Side Story. The actors were amazing and all had amazing voices! I bought tickets for 2 other shows. Can't wait to see them. The theater was packed for a Matinee, so great to see.

Beautiful theater with clean seats. The performance was superb! It was a wonderful experience overall. The seats were actually comfortable and at the perfect height. The way the seats were arranged was great. I was able to see everything without my view being blocked. Can't wait to come back and watch more shows!

I just love coming to see Theater here . The shows are always great and the staff is beyond friendly . Atlantic really does a great job of welcoming a diverse range of Theater goers . Accessibility is alive and well here with elevators & a nice ramp outside . They also have a gala pro for those that would like to read captions during a performance . The seats for wheelchairs /walkers provide a nice view of the stage and the staff is happy to help with any accommodations you might need- just give them a call . Btw they also are having an audio described performance of grief camp on April 30 for those who are blind or vision impaired . We love you Atlantic & always look forward to our visits . Thank You and See You Soon

Play: Master and Margarita. Actors were amazing. The play was well done and was very entertaining considering it's a sober Russian story written in a very confusing time in history. Costumes: whoever designed the costumes gets a huge round of applause! Venue: small and very cozy:). Smart location if a very large acting stage.

Loving the professionalism , dedication , respect. We are hardworking, very talented and positive dancers. We give our best every day to improve and grow. In face to face and theatre shows the emotions are wonderful . After the show the audience gets the chance to take pictures with us and to ask questions...is one of the best feelings for me to meet the audience and chatting with them, you can see the positivity in them.

My husband and I went to see the previews of a new musical called "Harmony," written by Barry Manilow and Bruce Sussman. Harmony is a MUST SEE musical. We were blown away by the music, the story, the acting, and the singing!! We had such an amazing evening that we will be back in a few weeks to see it again and again and again!!!!

IRT Theatre has been an incredible champion for Deaf theatre artists. Their support helped Deaf Broadway bring countless productions to life by giving our community the resources, encouragement, and belief needed to share our work on major New York stages. IRT does so much more than provide space and support -- they create opportunities for artists to feel seen, valued, and empowered. Their commitment to nurturing diverse voices has a lasting impact, and we are deeply grateful for all they do.

It may be Community Theater but it's still first rate theater. We've been going here for years and have never been disappointed in the performances of the actors. Sometimes we don't love the show that's chosen but the performances are always first rate. Last night we saw Th Man of LA Mancha. It's always been one of my favorite shows and last night did not disappoint. There isn't the bad seat in the house after all it's not a large theater.

SOOP has been an amazing experience for my 14 year old son. The training in musical theater and the voice lessons he has taken through SOOP have been amazing. The quality of the Main Stage productions is unbelievable and it is hard to believe these are kids doing the productions. I would highly recommend SOOP for your emerging performer. It is truly a hidden gem in Westchester.

Just saw Blessed Unrest's play "BODY UNREDACTED". LOVE THE PLAY! NUDITY! WE NEED MORE NUDITY IN THEATER! Undress yourself mentally and dive in. BLESSED UNREST Productions: "Body Unredacted". A surgeon's steady hand falters as she discovers the pulse of her own hidden heart, while a painter's brush strips the world away to expose the raw, shivering humanity of those who pose. In the shadowed corners of the room, love takes root like a wildflower, and across the vast, silent stretches of space and time, siblings run breathless, chasing the silver ghost of the moon. I love the play. I was dreaming...

New York City Center is such a fantastic place to see a show. The theater feels beautifully classic but also very comfortable, and the size of Stage I makes it surprisingly intimate. Any seat in Stage I is great and you feel like the performers are right with you, which made the whole performance feel more immersive and very special. We saw Bigfoot! A New Musical on Stage I and absolutely loved it. The music, writing, and performances were all fantastic. The show is funny, creative, and full of energy, and you can tell how much talent went into bringing it to life. The writing by Amber Ruffin, David A. Schmoll, and Kevin Sciretta is sharp, clever, and genuinely heartfelt. Grey Henson as Bigfoot gave such a beautiful performance full of character and heart. I never thought I could love a character like Bigfoot so much, but he completely won over the audience immediately after first stepping on stage. Alex Moffat was also excellent and brought so much personality and humor to his role, and the rest of the cast was outstanding as well, including Jade Jones, Crystal Lucas-Perry, Katerina McCrimmon, and Jason Tam, who all delivered fantastic performances. One of the best surprises of the night was the cast Q&A after the show, which was incredibly fun and gave the audience a chance to hear more about the creative process and the experience of bringing the musical to life. It made the evening feel even more personal and memorable. We have been telling everyone we know about this show and really hope it continues to run and find the success it deserves. Seeing it at New York City Center made the whole experience even better. It is a wonderful venue for discovering exciting new theater.

If I could give the New Amsterdam Theatre in New York City more than five stars, I absolutely would! From the moment you walk through the doors, you're surrounded by breathtaking architecture, rich Broadway history, and an atmosphere that makes you feel like you're about to experience something truly magical. Seeing Disney's Aladdin here was nothing short of spectacular. The cast delivered incredible performances, the singing and choreography were flawless, and the costumes and special effects were beyond imagination. The magic carpet scene left the entire audience in awe, and the Genie brought nonstop energy, laughter, and excitement from start to finish. Every detail of the production is first-class, making this an unforgettable Broadway experience for guests of all ages. Whether it's your first Broadway show or your fiftieth, Aladdin at the New Amsterdam Theatre is an absolute must-see. If you're visiting New York City, put this at the top of your list--you'll leave smiling, amazed, and already planning your next Broadway adventure. Bravo to the entire cast, crew, and theater staff for creating such an incredible experience!

TOTALLY AWESOME FUN My FIRST NYC Musical - BEACHES What a wonderful coincidence that it opened while I was, not only working (2 weeks) in NY but I was OFF WORK the evening my niece, Jenny, mentioned I should go... and sign autographs as Bette.

The Majestic Theatre offered a MAGICAL night for me - bought tickets at 4pm for 7pm Show. I adore spontaneity, so I live it too ! THRILLED to see The Majestic & BEACHES Stay Safe, Healthy, Blessed.

I went to the Neil Simon Theatre because it's literally on the same street where my husband works, so I decided to try the weekday lottery for the first time... and ended up winning tickets to MJ The Musical. It wasn't even at the top of my must-see list, but it completely surprised me. The storytelling, choreography, and transitions are incredibly well executed. The way they weave the script with the chronology of the songs feels seamless, constantly moving between past and present with a smoothness that's hard to describe but really impressive to experience live. Nothing feels forced or slow, it flows effortlessly from start to finish. At times, it genuinely feels like you're at a Michael Jackson concert. What stood out the most is how universal and accessible the show is. It's very family friendly without feeling childish. You can bring your parents, even if they don't speak English, and they'll still enjoy it. I saw entire families vibing together, almost dancing in sync to the music. That ability to cut across generations feels special and rare on Broadway. The pacing is perfect, it never drags, and it lasts exactly as long as it needs to. I also got great lottery seats, which made the experience even better. Honestly, it exceeded my expectations by a lot and turned into one of those shows I didn't plan to love, but walked out of genuinely impressed.

Absolutely amazing! This was the best show experience I've ever had. The musical numbers were incredible, the cast was outstanding, and the entire production was breathtaking from start to finish. The theater itself is beautiful and adds so much to the experience. We sat in Row E, and the seats were perfect. We were close enough to see every detail and even make eye contact with some of the performers, which was so exciting. The view was excellent without having to look up uncomfortably. One thing to keep in mind is that the seating layout isn't very steep, so a taller person sitting in front of you could potentially block part of your view. Because of that, I think it's worth spending a little extra for seats closer to the stage. Overall this show was absolutely worth every penny and truly unforgettable.

Death Becomes Her is a spectacular show that was so entertaining. I didn't think I would laugh as much as I did, but the cast did an amazing job of keeping the audience engaged the entire time. They were hilarious and had the audience eating out of the palm of their hands, from start to finish. I had high expectations coming in and boy did they deliver. Considering my fondness for the original movie, which featured Goldie Hawn, Meryl Streep, and Bruce Willis, I appreciate that they retained all the popular moments from the movie and somehow made them even better. The endless banter, creative songs, and beautiful stage designs were well done, and the costumes, transitions between scenes, and choreography were executed perfectly. The Lunt-Fontanne Theatre is spacious and very clean. I didn't find the seats to be uncomfortable or tight, and sitting in the Front MEZZ Row B provided us with an unobstructed view of the stage, definitely worth the extra money. So happy I was able to see this show before it leaves Broadway. Totally worth the trip into the city!

I had the pleasure to visit this place recently & I was happy I came . Get to see 'Amaze' by Jamie Allan . What a brilliant man with extraordinary vision. I totally forgot how old I am and became a child again . I also loved how he missing his parents throughout the show. Wish they were here to see his son's growth. I also get to meet this amazing human being after the show and had to take pictures with him! I can't wait to come back, gotta save up first lol .

Overall the theater is lovely, well taken care of, air conditioned, and the cast is absolutely fantastic! But they drastically need to improve crowd management. For our 2pm show doors open at 1pm so it's best to be in line early around 12:45 because a long line forms. After a quick security check and then a ticket check you're let into the lobby where there are photo opportunities, merch opportunities, and concessions. At this point they should begin to seat people, but instead the house doors open 30 minutes prior to show start.. so all 400+ people suddenly only have 30 minutes for staff to guide them to their actual seats... and while they wait space in the lobby quickly evaporated.. The end result is madness and then you add the fact that there are kids and it's even more wild. Announcements are also made by staff without any microphones so you can't hear them. It's just weird, but past all that the show itself it good with a brief 10 minutes intermission. The special effects are also very very good. Overall Harry Potter is all an average play with some plot holes, but they aren't seriously enough to stop you from enjoying. Just realize getting seated is wild, confessions are very expensive, and then the first 20 minutes of the play itself are confusing as they rush to explain the characters.

Our recent Broadway outing was unforgettable, made even better by the theatre's unbeatable location--just a short walk from our hotel in Times Square. The Lena Horne Theatre truly impressed us with its layout and seating design. No matter where you sit, the space gives you a sense of closeness to the stage, creating an intimate and immersive experience. We were seated just three rows from the front, and from the moment the lights dimmed, we were completely entertained. We saw SIX, and the cast was nothing short of phenomenal. The show delivered everything we hoped for and more. Each queen's story was cleverly told, blending historical moments with modern musical influences that kept the energy high and the audience engaged. The witty storytelling, powerful vocals, and fresh perspective from each wife made the performance both meaningful and wildly fun. It's a must-see musical for anyone who loves sharp humor, great music, and a bold reimagining of history. The theatre itself added to the experience with its excellent seating options, including upper private side balconies and both lower and upper levels that offer great views. It's a wonderful venue that enhances the magic of the show. And the website's stage view from seating selection is on point, it really allows for which selection to order. Overall, an exceptional night on Broadway--highly recommended.

The play Romeo & Juliet playing at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre was wonderful! I was very pleased with the performance and actually underestimated how fabulous the show really is. I enjoyed myself and what was a bonus was that the seats were not cramped like most theaters on Broadway.

Times Square, Manhattan · 2,841 reviews

love love love the walter kerr! hadestown is phenomenal obviously but the theatre is also great. bathrooms are clean but if you're planning on going during intermission (and you're a woman) you need to sprint as soon as act 1 ends because a long line forms super quickly. i think optimal seating is mezzanine because we were on balcony and we had to strain to see downstage. if you're interested in stage dooring (highly recommend! but don't expect every actor to come out, it's not an obligation for them) sprint after bows outside the theatre and there should be a crowded barricade.

I was invited to celebrate the legacy of Dr.Martin Luther King, Jr. This was such an epic event. I enjoyed all the speakers, the food, the company, the customer service, the staff and the entertainment and energy in the room. Dr. King was a trailblazer for the community and he deserved to be celebrated and they did just that. Female District Leader Michelle Tege was in attendance from AD43 and the Brooklyn Borough President Reynoso and many others.

Gerald Schoenfeld Theater 236 W 45th st, NY NY 10036 Buena Vista Social Club - May 14th, 2026 featuring John Leguizamo This turned into a full dance-along experience at the beautiful Schoenfeld theater! -- The dance along was a great idea! Great energy, great music, great cast and AAA effort all around. My wife & I absolutely loved our balcony seats and truly appreciated the atmosphere, culture, rhythm and passion behind this production. Thank you for a fun night of storytelling mixed with music, dance & Cuban culture. Now, here comes my honest personal takeaway... As a native New Yorker with a fair amount of Latin blood, vibe & persuasion, I personally felt the show lacked a bit of the emotional depth, punch and grand finale payoff that could potentially give it broader long-term appeal. The audience applause throughout the night was strong, and the dance-along aspect really brought the room alive. Personally, I almost feel every show should lean into that audience participation because those moments created some of the biggest energy of the evening. While the music, culture and atmosphere were beautiful, I personally never found a central character or storyline strong enough to fully pull me in emotionally or give me someone to deeply root for along the journey. I also wonder whether younger generations will connect strongly enough with the material over time, but I genuinely hope this passionate production finds lasting success because there is obvious heart, pride and effort behind it. Viva Cuba Libre!

Music Box Theatre is something truly special. I came to see GIANT last night and from the moment I walked in, I felt like I was transported back in time. The theatre itself has so much history and character -- there is nothing quite like it. The intimacy of the space made the entire experience even more powerful. If you have the chance to catch a show here, don't think twice.
