I came here for the show Endgame. I thought the theater was nice and classic, the cafe at the bottom is also very cute, and the lobby area is a nice place to sit and wait for a show. The Irish pride is also very cool here. The actors and all the workers were Irish so can also find community here if you're Irish.

When I received free tickets to see "Travels," I did not know what to expect at all! But I'm so glad I took the chance. It was a great performance by all the actors involved. Although the venue wasn't the biggest, it was comfortable and it was nice the staff invited me to sit closer to the front. The two ASL interpreters worked hard throughout the show too. I love that all kinds of mediums were used to convey the different stories from singing, various instruments, subtitle projections, and probably more that I'm forgetting. Overall, great show that the audience will always remember!

Great use of the space. It may be a church basement but it felt like I was in the living room of a family in the 1930s. The acoustics were also good, but that's also because the actors did a very nice job of projecting.

Best place to hear music, now upgraded to the best place to see it performed. Great desserts and coffee by Jenny's Sweets. Elliot, Monica, Uncle Bill, Hannah, Josh, Ariel, Skylar, Jenn. An entire family to welcome you. Like hanging on the stoop in the Bronx.

Saw Breakin NYC at Theater 555, and though it's off Broadway and a bit of an avenue walk, it was worth it. Go see it while you can. You get a good history on the Break Dancing phenom and to see it in action by some pretty amazing dancers.

We had a wonderful meal and the show was SPECTACULAR as part of a bus day trip. We enjoyed ourselves so much that we went back for my husband's birthday weekend!

Best jazz show I've seen in a while! The venue was intimate and the musicians were incredibly talented. You can really tell the owner, Mark, is passionate about the genre. Plus, the Japanese kitchen upstairs was delicious! The crowd and ambiance were unbeatable--I can't wait to come back

Such a marvelous venue. I really enjoyed my night out at the movies! Would love to go back soon!

My experience with this community theater organization was extremely disappointing. I was invited into this production without even auditioning because of how funny the organization believed I was in a previous show. I was cast as a lead character and received positive feedback throughout rehearsals. After fully participating in rehearsals, promoting the production locally, spending hours distributing flyers, and helping secure an email blast to more than 500 people in the Pelham community, I was removed from the cast the day before opening night by Maria Provenzano, Pam Johnston, and Joe Montano. While artistic decisions are ultimately their right, the way this was handled felt unnecessarily disrespectful and emotionally damaging. I was asked to wait all day for a meeting with no explanation, then informed at the last minute that I was being removed for "not being funny enough." I was also encouraged to publicly present the departure as my own decision, which I declined to do. Community theater depends on volunteers, trust, encouragement, and professionalism. Unfortunately, I did not experience those values here. I hope the organization reflects on how performers and volunteers are treated in the future.

I love Cloud City. Great artist and performance space and studios. Very lovely and the crowd is always eclectic and welcoming. I have been here more than a handful of times and I'm never disappointed. love love love Cloud City!

New perspectives is doing amazing work despite the turmoil surrounding the world of live theatre. Here, you will hear stories of voices often quieted and rarely produced beyond the stage reading.

Just came from the July 26th show, and as always I laughed so hard! I've been to Laughing Lassi several times since its inception, and every time has been a blast. I love the comics who are showcased, especially due to the mostly South Asian bent of the lineup. You don't see enough of that representation on stage, even in NYC, and it's greatly appreciated. The hosts are always talented and professional, and the laughs from the featured comics just keep on coming. But best of all I love the super diverse crowd that makes up the audience. Perhaps a mango lassi on the menu would be the perfect touch? Something to think about. I'm definitely coming back for another show at the always exciting Broadway Comedy Club--a true New York comedy staple!

We saw Hay Fever (by Noel Coward) this weekend and loved the production! The passionate ensemble didn't miss a beat in this hilarious, fast paced comedy. We will definitely be returning for future shows!

Come the theatre better than sitting home watching a movie, a play ads passion that can't be simulated on an inanimate screen. Live, decent sized seats as compared to most, with 2 sides to enter to avoid having to keep getting up, beautiful decor great acoustics, ushers are persistent turn off the phone , no unwrapping candies , actually annoying but true...i didnt like the mezzanine ceiling was low over our floor seats in back. Great night

It was my first time going to Medieval Times and i had a ball! I went with a group. I didn't know what to expect. They are very organized. From beginning to end all the staff members we encountered were very helpful and polite. Sam was our waiter and he took care of us. The knights are very skilled and made the show very exciting. I would recommend this place to everyone and its for all ages.

As much as I would love to leave a good review due to its historical reverence, I still have to give my account on the experience I had. Currently the Apollo is under construction so they are having shows at the Victoria Stages (down the street) not too far from the Apollo Theater. The place is clean and the staff was friendly in the theater. The concession stand service was quick and pleasant even though after the contactless payment I had to rip off my own receipt from out the machine b/c the cashier walked away from the register to chat w/a friend behind the counter (RED FLAG #1). The event I went to was a comedy show that was held on a Thursday March 5th. It was a great line up with up and coming comics from the Mid-West and North East. I enjoyed myself and regardless of the 2 drink minimum which wasn't pressed upon the patrons, the drinks were served STRONG! When I got home I realized that I left my Versace eye glasses case there. I called the customer service number provided on the website and it takes you straight to an automated promoter to press 1 for administration, 2 for group sales, and ect.... I needed the lost and found which was not one of the options on the phone (RED FLAG #2) I went back to their website to see if maybe I could find a directory. Still to no avail, but I find that there is a place where you can leave an e-mail for the lost and found. I submitted an e-mail 2x and still haven't heard from them and today is the 18th of March! I called again but this time I left a message on their machine with the Administration department in the hopes they would answer my call or attempt to help direct my inquiry to the Lost & Found. Yup, you guessed it, NO ANSWER OR CALL BACK (RED FLAG #3). After doing some sleuthing, I found through several online message boards that the Apollo has a terrible reputation with answering phone calls and responding to their e-mail inbox. That is ridiculous so I guess one will always have to go in person to talk to a representative when trying to reach a particular department because no one answers the phone at the Apollo. Just do a GOOGLE SEARCH and you will find several running threads of ppl complaining about this very issue! APOLLO DO BETTER IN SERVICING THE COMMUNITY OTHER THAN SELLING TICKETS TO FILL SEATS

Went to see Martin Lawrence Saturday night and had a great experience overall. I had VIP access so getting in was smooth, plus the free drink and popcorn were a nice touch. The workers and Martin's staff were all very friendly, helpful, and organized throughout the night. The theater itself is beautiful and the energy was amazing. Overall I really enjoyed myself and would definitely come back for another show.

Throwing it back to last summer's birthday celebration because we are still thinking about it! For the big day, we saw Hell's Kitchen at the Shubert Theatre, and wow... the energy was absolutely unmatched! The music was incredible, the vocals were insane, and the vibe in the historic theater was pure magic. Since it was all of our first time seeing a show on Broadway, we didn't really know what to expect, but it completely blew us away. Such an unforgettable way to celebrate. We left buzzing and are already planning our next trip back! #HellsKitchenBroadway #ShubertTheatre #BroadwayDebut #BirthdayCelebration #TBT

We went to St, James Theatre to see Titanique and had a great time. We sat in the mezzanine a few rows back from the front, and the view was honestly amazing. You could see the stage clearly and even pick up all the facial expressions. The theater itself felt cozy and comfortable, and it was just an easy, enjoyable place to watch a show. Overall, really great night and I'd definitely come back again. P.s. we were allowed to film this song.

Great venue to see a show, it was my first time and initially I was concerned about parking. We found street parking a few blocks down and the walk back was on well lit streets. Inside was very nice and clean. THE most important thing was the show sounded amazing. I will take the two hour ride back to see another show. Great venue for a concert.

The Theater at MSG is such a beautiful space and always a pleasure to work in. The venue offers incredible flexibility for concert productions, with endless creative possibilities! Cara, Michelle, and the team are wonderful to work with. Every show looks and sounds amazing. It's easily one of our favorite venues. If you're visiting New York, catching a show at The Theater should absolutely be on your list!

Located in West Village, this jazz venue offers a great range of good quality jazz live music. The staff were consistently friendly, welcoming, and attentive, and the drink prices felt reasonable by Manhattan standards. That said, the experience did not fully match my expectations. The venue is quite small and located in a basement space that felt less comfortable than I had anticipated. Admission was $35 (pre-booked) per person, and guests are also required to purchase at least one drink each. The performance itself was enjoyable, but at only 1 hour in length; much shorter than expected. After the show, guests are given less than 30 minutes to finish their drinks and leave before the next audience is admitted.

Seeing Hamilton in person was one of the coolest thing my wife and I have ever done. We have watched it many times on Disney+ and became instantly hooked. We cannot physically get it out of our heads, but that's okay. Hearing a new cast with their own spin on it was absolutely phenomenal. The entrance to the theater is smaller, but decorated very well. They have some nice merch and very clean bathrooms. Ushers were not annoying like at Gatsby, they just helped us find our seats and smiled. Altogether, an amazing experience!

Saw Cats: Jellicle Ball here and was mighty pleased. Well run, efficient, great staff. Seats a bit narrow but comfortable enough. Really fun crowd. Great period details. Clean facilities. Good drinks. Classic Broadway.

Had the pleasure of seeing the closing show of Dog Day Afternoon starring my favorite actor, Jon Bernthal. I got my ticket just 2 days before and totally lucked out getting a seat on the second row. This was a huge plus for me cos I've never been a fan of the first row. And my seat was in the middle which is my preference. I made sure to use the bathroom before the show because I didn't want to wait until intermission. This theater is beautiful. The seat is comfortable and is fairly spacious. The show was amazing. I was so impressed with the set direction. And the sound was bangin. There's a bit at the end where a helicopter is supposed to land and it got pretty loud in there. It was realistic enough that I really turned away cos I really thought a copter was going to land. Lol Kudos to the staff for handling business. I got to the theater about 20 minutes before the show and the line was bonkers. Legitimately took over both ends of the street. I was at the back. Some dude asked us what we were in line for. Haha The line moved so quick. There were folks reminding everyone to have their bags ready to be checked and ticket ready so that entrance could be a breeze. The usher by the bar assisted with directing folks which way to go. Everyone was super nice. Exiting was a breeze. Someone reminded people to mind their steps.

Gorgeous venue! We've had the pleasure of working at United Palace multiple times and have always had a great experience. John and his team are professional, responsive, and great collaborators. Whether you're planning a corporate event, gala, or concert, the venue offers everything needed for a successful production. The historic interior is absolutely stunning, the acoustics are excellent. We always look forward to working at United Palace!

Small, but they have the crowd control down to a science. Very cool Beaux-Arts architecture and arguably the oldest continuously operating theaters on Broadway. Perfect place to see Maya Rudolph in Oh, Mary!

West Village, Manhattan · 2,097 reviews

Fantastic live jazz, great drinks, and a wonderfully inviting atmosphere. It's an excellent spot for any jazz lover, with music that really shines and a vibe that keeps you relaxed and engaged throughout the night. I especially want to highlight the non alcoholic negroni. It was so delicious and genuinely flavorful, which made it the perfect alternative for me since I cannot drink alcohol. I highly recommend this place!

Lower East Side, Manhattan · 1,824 reviews

Great place to see a show. Excellent acoustics, great sight lines and a friendly staff. Saw Jheriah on June 23rd, great first act too, Lora Mauro I believe. Don't worry about the tiny staircase you go down to get in to the place once you get in you can stay near the bar in the lower level for awhile then go upstairs to the Ballroom and stage. There are plenty of exit doors on the main level. There are tables on the balcony level but seats are limited and cost more. Not a bad seat in the house either. If a band you like is performing here you should go, odds are it will sound great and you can see everything on stage from anywhere in the house.

We went to see "Two Strangers Carry a Cake Across New York"! It was a great show considering that there's only two in the cast! The theater was nice and was easy to navigate!

Kings of New York Comedy put on a great show. Talent Da Comedian is the best. Nice theatre and good security coming into campus.

Great theater. Perfect space and size. Seating is a little small but very comfortable. The Lost Boys was absolutely amazing. Great cast and musical. Highly recommend and will watch again.

West Village, Manhattan · 1,382 reviews

I absolutely loved the jazz, and the seating arrangement is ideal. From nearly anywhere in the room, you get great sightlines and excellent sound, which makes for an immersive, comfortable listening experience. The non alcoholic beverage options were a little limited, but everything else more than makes up for it. I still highly recommend this place.

Visited for the first time to watch Bill O'Connell Quintet featuring Randy Brecker perform live, and it was an incredible experience. The combination of world-class jazz and the stunning nighttime views of the Manhattan skyline made for the perfect end to a birthday celebration. The entire set was phenomenal, and every solo was a highlight. Huge compliments to Bill O'Connell (piano), Randy Brecker (trumpet), Craig Handy (tenor saxophone), Lincoln Goines (bass), and Billy Hart (drums) for such an unforgettable performance. There was a cover charge, along with a $25 per person minimum spend, which we felt was well worth it. The drinks were great, the atmosphere was fantastic, and the overall experience exceeded our expectations. We'd definitely love to come back for another live jazz night!

This exhibit was phenomenal. It was filled with so many people yet you can hear the bowls' movements. It was quite soothing. I saw others lying down by the edges and did the same and doing this brought another experience. Highly recommend you to check out this exhibit.

It was my first time at this venue and I went to see Cynthia Erivo for her book tour. Great theatre, comfortable seats with incredible legroom. It's the perfect size for intimate events. There's a bar to get drinks before the show. Then, it's located right across from the subway station. Had a great time!!

Been watching Mariska on Law & Order for years so I had to catch her Broadway debut, and she did not disappoint. The show is so funny and the audience participation makes it feel personal, but it handles really heavy subject matter with so much heart. I loved Mariska on this and so glad we went to watch her. I was hesitant to watch a one-person show but she was absolutely great.

I have been going here since Les Paul first came. Now I rarely get into the city but Uli Jon Roth was so incredible and kind to spend time with as well. Except for the beer problems no ipa taps were broken. The staff made up for it from the girl upstairs checking me in the nice young man that seated me the waiter fantastic and super nice manager. The pictures on the walls are priceless and the sound was so good.Jazz club that gets the best rock and roll acts . Hoping Denis Deyoung might do a run here.

The bar is simple, offering wine, beer, and non alcoholic bevs. Get your tickets ahead of time online. There is always a line for people waiting to get in.

It is an authentic supper club atmosphere. The food was very good, with a choice of five entrees for the luncheon. The desserts were portioned perfectly, allowing for variety to taste and enjoy. The holiday show was festive and fun, enjoyable for the whole family. I want to come back for another production in the coming months.

Saw it on Veterans Day 2025! 44 Obama Musical is amazing! My favorite song is "How Black is Too Black." Dancing, singing, and acting is top notch. Broadway level performance. I hope this show continues on. I laughed out loud so much with friends. Politics junky would really appreciate the show.

Beautiful And unique structure design. The staff are kind and full of energy. Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration. Reacting the speech "The Drum Major" Leaving the audience to be The Drum Major for Love, Kindness, Hope, Fight for Righteousness, Peace , Joy, Stand together, Justice, and so much more. Thank You for the performance. Even though 50+ years ago that Martin Luther King Jr spoke to Us about The Drum Major, it is profound for today I do suggest everybody to read that speech again and see how you can help your neighbors, your community, your state, and your nation to be better governors for the people. God, thank you for giving this Words to MLK Jr, so many years ago.! We as Humans Beings must get together and take action no matter how small/big we must make a positive decision for our family community and nation.

I haven't been there in years! The venue is always nice and inviting. You feel a peace and calmness when you enter the theatre. I came this time for a tribute to a fantastic brother Sidiki. It was set up so nicely. He was an inspiration and will be missed!

Had the opportunity to watch the people versus Lenny Bruce and the staff and theater was amazing. The facility is small however it does not take away from the production and the content of the show. The show was brilliant on many levels and can relate to fallacies of the contemporary legal system.
