I first went to NYC in 2011 to see 2012 be born. On my trip, I got to do a lot of things, but I didn't get to do what I wanted to do the most. What was it? I was dying to go to Broadway. I wanted to see what the fuss was about the shows there.
Enter 2018. I went this time around with the purpose of seeing a Broadway show. Specifically Anastasia, which I saw has a separate listing and I will be commenting on the show there. This review instead is for the theatre where the show was held: Broadhurst Theatre.
While this is my first Broadway show and the first time ever I am at one of its theatres, I must say that this theatre wasn't fully what I expected it to be. I mean, yes, the line was long and we got in and sat down fine, but the actual seats themselves were tiny and cramped and I'm 5'2", so imagine that!
The seats weren't uncomfortable, but coming from Miami, I am used to much more space. Not to mention that we were among the lucky ones being in the chairs right in front of the bar and the accompanying souvenir shop. When we went to go get souvenirs, the amount of "excuse me's" were plenty.
Despite this, the view we had was great and I really must echo other people's sentiments that there are no bad seats to watch a show there. Still, I would be curious to see how other theatres on Broadway compare. I feel this is a small one, and given that the show was packed, I am assuming it sold out, and eh, it really did show once we left. So many people for such little space.
