First of all, you can sit anywhere in this place. It’s great! My seats this time were in J for the presentation of the Broadway show Art. Fantastic play! They have a nice area downstairs with a bar and restrooms. Very clean. Great seats. Perfect temp.
Came to this theater on a Saturday night to watch The Picture of Dorian Gray. It’s a pretty theater, and it was pretty easy to get inside. There were two entrances and the staffs were quick to check everything as the show had to start on time at 8pm. We had to go up three flights of stairs to get to Door 4. We had a great view of the stage and were comfortable the entire time. I didn’t have enough time to grab a drink but didn’t see if they had any areas to grab any, but did see a person standing with a box full of drinks and snacks instead. It does get crowded when exiting.
One of the best "three-hander" productions currently on Broadway! Bobby, James and Neil Patrick were incredible, funny and introspective! Highly recommend! We got amazing seats day of the event for cheap!
What a wonderful theater! My seat still allowed for a great view of the stage! Sarah Snook was brilliant in "The Picture of Dorian Gray"👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Had a great time seeing Sarah Snook as Dorian Gray here. Staff were all super helpful. Bathrooms were on both floors. View from our seats were fantastic. We were in the first row of the mezzanine, but towards the side in obstructed view seats. Nothing was obstructed for us and we had a remarkable time!
