I truly did get to enjoy the luxuries of Gershwin Theatre. I have the blessing to see wicked at this theater, and it was extremely enjoyable! The bar was filled with a variety of cocktails and drinks, plus a selection of snacks too. They had a large stand with merchandise available for customers whom were viewing the show. The talent of the cast was phenomenal! The check-in process was seamless, easy, and professional. Bathrooms are clean and available for use, to locate my seats, the attendance were extremely helpful and guiding.
We went to The Gershwin Theatre to see Wicked last Friday night with my daughter’s BHS Dance Company and we had an amazing experience! There was a line to get in when we got there and once the theater doors opened, the flow to get inside went smoothly. This is our second time seeing it and both times ours guest seats were amazing and we had great views. Seats are comfortable to sit on and I am on the heavy side of the scale. I loved the play and our experience was great and the play and actors were phenomenal. I would go back to The Gershwin Theatre again in the future!
Fabulous show. Cast members are superb and I love the set and costumes. Plot twists are amazing as well. Great sound system and seating without obstruction. Easy check in and good timed intermission.
We just saw Wicked at the Gershwin Theatre—what a stunning venue. The architecture and ambiance alone set the stage for something special. And the show? Absolutely phenomenal. Broadway at its finest—top-tier performances, breathtaking visuals, and unforgettable music.
Such a beautiful theater with lovely small touches. I have foot problems, so walking the streets of the city and standing on trains was hard. Even waiting for concessions, there were wonderfully comfortable couches. The staff was both funny and kind. The swag looked fantastic, beautifully placed. Didn't get to buy any but was great to look at. Amazing production and wonderful memories! Great sets and acoustics.
