    Best seen at night. Lots of food and souvenir stalls, very busy but nice. It’s ok during the day but you get a better experience at night when all the lights are more visible.

    Wicked...What can you say? This was a great show & brilliant cast and a great performance. We had near on the best seats in the house (Front row Mezzanine) But in that there was the only possible complaint of the night. I'm 5'8" and I had no leg room. God forbid that a tall bloke was sitting in the vicinity. Next time I'll opt for the the front row orchestra (It was an option that I could have taken, so it's all on me).

    Loved the show & the organisation in and out of the theatre; well practiced obviously. Thank you.

    We literally followed the music. We could hear the most amazing soulful and powerful music and we had to figure out where it was coming from. We only stayed for a short time due to time contraints, however was well worth a visit. The spiritual music was truly beautiful and awe-inspiring.

    Went and saw GREAT GATSBY matinee on a saturday. what a great show. the seating is ample and a decent view as it is stadium-type seating. you really didn't have a bad seat from what i could tell.

    PROS:
    easy to get to - NYC is all about public transpo or cab/rideshare or the shoe leather express. it's close to times square and a bunch of tourist areas

    CONS: line for the bar was very long - drinks pricey - but $10 got you a gatsby souvenir cup with soda and free refills on the cup. so if you wanted to get a drink before the show, during intermission, and then after the show, this would move to the PROS area as you would get your money's worth.

    The play Harry Potter and the cursed child was so amazing! The theater is part of the production and you feel like you are actually part of it. We all enjoyed it so much!

    Went to see Michael Jackson. The show was simply awesome. A 5 star performance. My only issue and the reason I gave a four star rating was because I felt the seats in the theatre were too tight and my knees were cutting into the top of the seat in front of me. An extra 2” would have done it.

    It was my family's first Broadway show. We saw The Lion King. We had great seats and it was very clean. We didn't forsee it but my grandson was in a wheelchair that day. The manager was so nice and helpful. He helped carry the wheelchair down the stairs and kept it during the show and brought it back after. We were able to keep our promo seats and the show was absolutely out of the park! My grandchildren and I were completely thrilled with this dynamic show of talents and disciplines. We love New York!

    The entire show was spectacular! The lights, music, and don't even get me started on costumes! My jaw dropped in the very first minute of the show. Dancers and actors worked so hard, and you could tell they were very in character! It included adult and kid humor, so it's perfect for any age. They did a very good job on conveying the African culture through dance, song, and costume. Would highly recommend!

    Beautiful theater with a lot of character. I don’t think there are bad seats in the theater. We has seats in the middle of the second section and could see everything perfectly.

    The seats are small and close. Cozy - think airplane seats. Also, there is one bathroom in the basement and although it moves quickly, they need to add 5-10 minutes to the intermission. We almost missed the second half because we were in the back of the line. Getting a class of wine and merch prior was easy and lines moved quickly.

    Saw “Back to the future” here today & it didn’t disappoint!! Aside from the amazing show, the staff was amazing as well. The seating was surprisingly very comfortable & you could actually move your legs around & adjust yourself in your seat. I’ve gone to plays where you really have no leg room & felt very crammed.

    Very easy to navigate around this theater. I’d love to come back here again for another play to watch!

    No one does it like New York City. I was able to attend the Phantom of the opera which is my favorite play of all time. Highly recommend

    Wow, what a hilarious hidden gem! Must see if you like a laugh and don’t take Shakespeare too seriously, sit in the front row or better yet the thrones! Highly recommend, 10/10

    One of the older theaters on Broadway from the 1920"s . Seats are comfortable and we had lower orchestra seats row J, close to the stage.

    Saw Lea Michele reprise Barbra Streisand leading role. She did an amazing job.
