I missed this show when it was in Dublin so added as a must in my travel to NYC. Show and venue both exceeded expectations. I was at the top yet it was a clear view. The place was packed yet staff (security, bar, floor) were very friendly & professional from start to finish. Seamless experience, great venue, reasonable bar prices for snacks and beverages and not to mention the show was lol from start to finish.
We saw the Book of Mormon at the Eugene O’Neill theater. It seats about 1100 people and there didn’t seem to be a bad seat in the house. The line moved quickly, the security check was smooth.
Book of Mormon, it was hilarious. I was able to purchase a specific Orchestra seat ticket for Thursday night at the box office at 6:40pm when the show starts at 7pm. $99 instead of $110 online which included service fees. The cost does come down last minute compared to reservations well in advance.
This theatre is currently showing The Book of Mormon, which is a really fun, adult-aged show. The Eugene O’Neill theatre was beautiful and added to the magic of the show. It was also air-conditioned well enough to keep a full auditorium cool, on an extremely hot day.
One of the smaller broadway theaters but loved seeing the Book of Mormon here! Well decorated theater with great sight lines from most seats, although center mezzanine had amazing views of the show. Easy in and out.
