Longacre Theatre

This is such a beautiful & cozy theatre. We sat in orchestra second row the view was great, it felt intimate. The seating have leg room & they are comfortable. Also, the sound in the theatre is really good. There are bathrooms on the lower level & the bar too. All the staff are helpful and friendly! We saw Swept Away which was a phenomenal show!

Fantastic. So pleased with the show and the theater. All seats good. Someone tall in front of me but could still see well. Great performance sale. Drinks! Loved it all.

I've been here to see Leopoldstadt and Dead Outlaw. Although this is a smaller theater in the theater district, the live performance and the stage transformation are just as impressive!

Went here to see Swept Away, which is now closed, in December. Our seats were located in about the fourth row of the right mezzanine. The seats had a great, unobstructed view of the stage the entire time. Nice amount of legroom. Would recommend seeing a show here if you get the chance!

We visited the Longacre Theatre to see "Dead Outlaw" (really fun show). Restrooms are down in the basement. Right mezzanine row C has a good, full view of the stage.

Saw swept away here, and it was spectacular! We we got rush tickets only hours before the show and were unsure if it would be good because of mixed reviews. Many reviews for the show weren't good, but I don't know what they're talking about because it was an amazing show. The story was really deep, and even though it was a much smaller theater and had fewer effects than wicked, I still enjoyed it and was not bored during the show at all. Overall, I would give it a nine out of ten.

I saw the INCREDIBLE Swept Away here twice and sat in both orchestra and mezzanine. Both sections allowed fantastic vantage points while not feeling too close or far away. The Longacre is a great home for this show in particular because it draws the audience in where they feel like they’re on the journey alongside the characters in a way. The show includes a wind effect that literally blew my hair back even in the mezzanine level, which was so incredible to experience in such a historic venue. The ushers and security staff were efficient, accommodating, and friendly. I look forward to going back a third time to see Swept Away at the Longacre!

Beautiful architecture, close to lots of restaurants and amazing acoustics.

I recently saw Dead Outlaw here. Though the production was fun and entertaining, the seating arrangements were questionable. This is a pretty large venue and with additional sections above the orchestra, Mezzanine and Balcony, you could very well end up sky high. I personally like Orchestra seating although if the seats aren't on an incline, you could very well be watching the show between two moving heads (my experience at Good Night and Good Luck). Our seats at this theater were Row G left side Orchestra but there was minimal stage obstruction. Buying seats for Broadway shows can sometimes be a crap shoot. Although you may know what you're getting when looking at the floor plan, you just never know how well you'll be able to view the stage. The production is nominated for several Tony Awards. I am enamored with Broadway that I tend to overlook some of the minuses due to seating, etc.

I'm super blessed and fortunate to be able to watch Broadway Plays & Musical Shows in NYC. So far this 2024, I've been able to see three shows and the Playbills keeps piling up! This past Wednesday night, I just watched Lempicka. But before flying out to NYC, I checked out Telecharge's website for Lottery & Rush tickets and bid for 14 different showings during the evening hour. Luckily I won a bid for 1 of out 14 shows! Lucky me, I got it for only $35 plus taxes! My seat turned out to be Center Orchestra Row P. Longacre Theatre is right in the middle of Times Squarel Theatre District. Coincidently it's a 3 blocks away from my hotel. Heightened security is present as well as NYPD patrols the streets to keep the general public safe and secure. You'll also find the concession stand downstairs, restrooms on both ends, and keep in mind that seats are very narrow and space is limited for your belongings which you can bring in. Coat Room is also available during winter season too.

Lempicha was a masterpiece of a perfect combination of incredible talent, soul stirring music, and engaging plot. Not a show for younger audiences. One 15 minute intermission. Show Runs two hours and 40 minutes with the intermission. Highly recommend! View from balcony C 1 and C 3 is a bit obstructed by the railings, so I'd recommend avoiding isle seats for all balcony and mezzanine, as they all have railings that will make you crane your neck to see some parts of the performance. Theater gets cold, so bring a jacket.

Theater right in the middle of Broadway on 48th. Went to see Lempicka, show about the history and story of artist Tamara Lempicka. Her paintings represent the art deco era in Paris during the 20s. The show was good, music and story were both good. However we had a huge issue. The show started 30 mins late, supposed to be a 8pm show however we didn't get seated until 30 mins later. Show was already 2.5 hours, so we didn't get out until past 11pm! The theater is a small one, seats were tight, couldn't tell what was worse. This seat or that of an airline economy seat. Both packed like sardines. Theater was definitely a bit tired, with sad looking carpets and seats. Overall show was good, theater could use a face lift.

We got Rush tickets for the excellent Avett Brothers Swept Away & were blown away by how great the sound was-so crisp and clear! The seats we got were considered partially obstructed but the play took place mainly in the center stage area & considering we thought we were going to miss it altogether before it went off Broadway, we felt super lucky to have gotten in on this last minute adventure! What a spectacular place to see a show! Spectacular acting & music, too! So glad to have seen this one here! Pro tip-if you need to duck out of the rain nearby, the pub next door (Hurleys!) has a very spacious bar & super clean bathrooms!

The Longacre is a Broadway theater in Midtown. It opened in 1913 and was named for Longacre Square, now known as Times Square. The Longacre has 1,077 seats and is operated by The Shubert Organization. Both the façade and the auditorium's interior are New York City designated landmarks. Gayle and I experienced the performance of Leopoldstadt on May 30. The first reason we chose this play is that it was written by Tom Stoppard, of which I saw "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead." over 50 years ago at the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis. The second were the reviews, the 2 Olivier Awards from its premier at London's West End, and of course a deep dive Holocaust-related subject. This was a play that demanded us to see it. And we had great seats. Set in Vienna, the play takes its title from the Jewish quarter. This stunning drama of love and endurance begins in the last days of 1899 and follows one extended family deep into the heart of the 20th century, with stops in 1938, 1924, and 1955. Leopoldstadt recently won 4 Tonys including Best Actor in a Featured Role in a Play and Best Play. I thought part of Brandon Uranowitz's acceptance speech was particularly insightful: "Thank you Tom Stoppard for writing a play about Jewish identity and antisemitism and the false promise of assimilation with the nuances and the complexities that are contradictions that they deserve. My ancestors, many of whom did not make it out of Poland, also thank you" To say that this play sucked the air right out of you would be an understatement. The very end really hit home as several characters in the play were named off, with only one word following: Auschwitz. After the curtain call, the theater was very quiet as we shuffled off buried in our thoughts. I'm still thinking about this play almost a month later as I reread part of the script.

We were here to see the much acclaimed production of LEOPOLDSTADT by Tom Stoppard. The play is brilliant, spanning many decades building up to the horrors of WW2 and the devastation of a family during the Holocaust in Vienna. The theater's seating (as often mentioned) is extremely tight, being built in the Beaux Arts era of the early 20th century. Thus, very very little leg room, to the point of discomfort. Sorry. Thankfully we got front row orchestra seats, as my darling hubs is 6'3" - as much as we love the theater, old tight cramped spaces can propose a challenge. Thankful to have the forethought of planning and thinking ahead. Spectacular and brilliant performance of a truly remarkable Broadway ensemble, who maintains the pace and brutal emotion of a very tragic and difficult subject. Thank you for reading.

Beautiful century old theatre with graceful architectural details. I've seen several plays there over the years, most recently Tom Stoppard's "Leopoldstadt" whose moniker is based on the old Jewish quarter of Vienna. A tragic story of genocide and loss spanning decades, Leopoldstadt may be one of Stoppard's best productions ever - and that is saying a lot considering the playwright's other brilliant works. I was particularly interested in seeing this play following a trip to Vienna and learning about Stoppard's recent discovery of his Viennese Jewish roots. Seating at The Longacre is not exactly spacious, but I've found that side orchestra seating can yield a precious bit of legroom especially from the aisle seat. Theater staff was fine when I was there, in fact I saw them helping a handicapped patron in a patient and friendly manner. Play start times can be delayed well after their official start times, but that seems to be the trend on Broadway in general these days. Harrumph.

Nice theater. Cozy, small, kept in great conditions, great location, etc... Came here for Leopoldstadt. Didn't understand much on it. I guess this review is more about Leopoldstadt experience in this theater rather than the theater itself... Wrong time, wrong place, wrong moment

This theater is very small, there are very small narrow staircase on each side, and the seats are pretty tight doesn't have much leg room. It's comfortable enough but not good if people want to come in and out. There are also a lot of partial view seats. Avid the box seat because they are partial view. Since it's small theater so the stage is close enough to the Audience. The bathroom is small so there's always line even men's bathroom.

I took my husband to see a play. The theatre is intimate, and I believe that the management tries to fit in as many people as possible, as the space for legs is limited. I had tix on the front row of the balcony, and the visibility was excellent, as well as the sound. The play itself was great; it held my attention throughout. I laughed and cried.

I just saw a show at this theater, and I loved it! It's intimate, historic, and love the multitude of exit doors at the end, which makes it very easy to avoid congestion on the way out. I'd love to come back!

I visited Longacre in March to see Leopoldstadt. The ushers were very friendly and helpful. There were a lot of stairs to get up to the balcony and I didn't notice an elevator so double check for accessibility if you need accommodations. The chandeliers and ceiling decor is gorgeous.

Came here to see Macbeth. Absolutely gem! Pros: + Theatre staff is extremely friendly + Beautifully located + Great venue + Easily accessible from train

We came for Macbeth Broadway and it was spectacular!!! Absolutely love the performance. We also got to see Daniel Craig close up so it was definitely totally worth it! The performance ends on July 10th! So definitely recommend you to get your tickets now!

LEMPICKA show closing May 19 with my ticket on May 29. Theater refuses to refund. April 20 Star was out and I requested a refund. Because the "Star" wasn't listed above the title, they report their policy is no refunds. Instead they offered a different time which is NOT transferable to a friend ( May 29) which I accepted. I do not live close to nyc, got my hotel and plane fare for the 29th and now the show posted a closing notice for the 19th. They said they could let me see the show in the next two weeks. Doesn't help as I don't live there. Corrupt business practice. I will get tickets thru a friend and or group next time if there's a show I want to see at this theater. How sad Shubert organization. And Telecharge.

Being a huge James Bond fan, I was excited to see Daniel Craig in Macbeth. The play was not great, as it was a very stripped down version. Since we were still under COVID restrictions, nobody signed Playbills outside, although pre-signed Playbills were available right after the show. With regards to the theater, I felt the air conditioning was way too strong in the mezzanine - I was so cold that I left during the intermission. Again, the theater is like most of the other older theaters in the area.

This review is for Diana a true musical story, What a truly amazing production, sets, acting, and music. This is why one goes to Broadway, it felt like Disney on Broadway meets Wicked. Highly recommend.... Go see it! Beautiful theatre and very roomy seats

I just attended a performance of Leopoldstadt at Longacre a few weeks ago. Mostly, it was an average theater for the area - similar size, similar bathrooms, similar concessions. My only real complaint is sort of specific to me and other short people of the world. I had a really hard time seeing the stage from the upper balcony! You'd think given the height that the view would be good - but actually those seats are so high that I had to angle my head down so much to see the stage - and then I could really only see the head of the guy in front of me. So visibility from the upper balcony at least was a pretty big disappointment. It was a little disconcerting (maybe especially because it was a Tom Stoppard play with so many characters) to not be able to see half the stage or half the actors. Overall, a pretty average theater in NYC's Theater District.

Lovely grand old theatre but you MUST avoid the balcony seating: - sight line problems due to a safety rail - seating painfully cramped even for me (5'7", shoe size mens 9). Not enough space for my shoes to face forward - sound garbled in balcony (not so on lower levers, which I visited briefly). So do not hesitate to attend shows at this theater but when it comes to seating, pretend that the balcony option just does not exist.

Went to see Leopoldstadt recently and felt the ushers and staff did a great job keeping the line moving and ushering us to our seats. The theatre is old New York, typical for the Time Square Theater District.

***This review is for A Bronx Tale, NOT Longacre Theatre. Had no qualms with Longacre Theatre albeit I was in the fourth row rear of orchestra so it would be rare if I did have qualms.*** I hate to admit it, but A Bronx Tale didn't live up to its hype for me. It's good don't get me wrong, but it's not great. Here's the pros and cons combined to help you decide if you're on the edge about seeing it as it's last act is August 5. 1. Acting was stellar. Everyone's...except for the main actor. I'm not saying that Adam Kapan didn't do a fantastic job, but he wasn't the right actor for Calogero. It was obvious that he wasn't Italian which, I mean, I don't get but at least try to have an Italian accent. 2. The singing. I'm no expert but it didn't blow me away as it had for other broadway shows with the two exceptions being Chazz Palminteri because, well, he's a legend and the other being the actor who played the dad. Did an amazing job for the number right before intermission, wish he had more opportunities to shine! 3. The storyline. Okay, I know, how can the storyline of a classic movie be a con? Well, the storyline is perfect- it is. The problem is the movie was dated back to 1993 which gave it a completely different feel to it. Back in the day the movie and play were "ahead of ttime" but now? Unfortunately not so much which inevitably made it less enjoyable. Anyways, I am far from talented but this is just my two cents. I don't see myself watching the show again if it has a revival but I don't not recommend (or recommend) this show. Got to figure it out for yourself :).

[639] This beautiful historic theater is over 100 years old. It's currently the home to The Bronx Tale musical. The seating is comfortable with plenty of leg room. The beauty in this theater is breath taking. While waiting for my musical to start I could not help but look around and notice the painting and work on the walls. I would definitely come back

I recently came to this theatre for A Bronx Tale the musical for my fiancé's birthday. Originally when buying tickets on the telecharge website I thought that the seats were going to be more spread apart from the layout of the seating area. To our surprise the room was smaller in the orchestra section and we were seated much closer than expected. That didn't bother us since we were closer to the action. After a quick bag check when entering, we had our tickets scanned and decided to use the restroom facilities before the show. The downstairs level had access to the restrooms, a bar and a small stand to buy show merchandise. The bathrooms were generally clean. The theatre has nice chandeliers hanging and is beautifully decorated to show that old world charm. Our interaction with the Longacre Theatre staff was pleasant. Each person we spoke to was nice.

Sat in the mezzanine for Leopoldstadt. At 6'1 I was smushed. Thankfully the row in front had empty seats so I moved and had extra leg room. Be aware.

Wonderful theatre, with what seems like there is not a bad view in the house. However for tall people or anyone with fear of heights, the top balcony can be a little disorienting with a low balcony rail and sharp incline. It is easy to get in and out of. There is an adjacent parking garage making it possible to drive in for a show. In addition to ease of the evening there are several restaurants to eat, offering a variety to accommodate different palates.

Had a great time watching the musical comedy "The Prom" the show was excellent. They do also have a bar where they sell drinks and snacks. There is also someone that sells snacks around the stadium before the show starts. There seems to be only one bathroom downstairs as far as I was made aware of and it gets packed real quick (during intermission) with an extremely long line, so there is no point in waiting in line because by the time you'll get in you'll start missing the show. I could hardly see the show at times because the guy in front of me was way too tall, but that couldn't be helped I guess. Once again, beautiful show! Keep your phone on do not disturb! People love to hush when they get the chance! If I were to rate completely on just the show alone I would give it 5 stars! Would I come back? Sure.

The Longacre theater is beautiful. This evening I'm seeing "A Bronx Tale" with Chaz Palminteri playing the lead. it's not really big which I love but whereever you sit you have a great seat. It has so much history to it and envisioning the players from the 50s 60s 70s years ago must've been absolutely fascinating. The stage isn't really big but it's enough to be able to get the whole story of any play. When looking at the theater you feel like you've gone back in time you could think it was 100 years ago. The seats are original comfortable and beautiful. Downstairs they sell the T-shirts for the play that's going on they have a bar to get snacks and drinks as well as someone walking around selling snacks. It's on 48th off of seventh Avenue. The box office employees are very nice & helpful. The ushers are very nice as well as the people downstairs selling the T-shirts and snacks that's always a plus because usually you'll find one that's rude. You'll have a great experience if you can get to this theater and definitely you'll love a Bronx tale!

I so like bargains on Broadway -- and for once -- being a senior citizen with access to discount TDF tix actually pays off -- even when the seats are in the nose bleed section! The Longacre is a smallish -- old school venue with colorful 1920's ornate plaster decor and chandeliers to match -- currently hosting a BIG show! The Bronx Tale is a BIG SHOW folks -- and if you have any connection to the subject matter -- be it demographically or generationally -- or you are just curious about a certain era of Americana -- get your jones fixed here with this musical adaptation of the Chazz Palminteri book -- because it does not get much better than this. We are hosting relatives from Switzerland for whom this show is almost synonymous with how the EU and much of the non-Western world views America these days. That a Machiavellian dichotomy works its way into the show's ultimate message (love vs. fear) is hardly coincidental. I could have done without the corpulent human seated in front of me -- heavily afflicted by the winds for most of the performance -- but this sensation too was strangely appropriate to the brashness of the show and the unfiltered lifestyle being portrayed here. Yes friends -- this was a 4D performance for me -- I just wish people ate better before going to the theater. ;)

Small and intimate theatre. Went to go see A Bronx Tale. I was pleasantly surprised how well put together and nearly true to the movie it was. Add some song and dance and poof, you have yourself a musical. The actors were great and the show didn't have any snooze time. I generally don't go for musicals but this was very good. Price tag of over $170 a seat is a bit steep. The location, as mentioned before, was small. We got there at 2:58 for a 3pm show and had no problem arriving to our seats on time. Plus there was no wait to get in! The ticket scanners were friendly but the ushers need a little class on service. Very matter of fact but I did like they scolded one man for using his cell phone during the show...bravo! I didn't use the restrooms but was told the ladies room has plenty of stalls which is a nice bonus... Other than the price of the ticket, this was worth the show! ENJOY!

BURN THE FLOOR It was HOT alright. My first NYC Broadway show and I was impressed. My friend and I stood by the TKTS booth in Time Square last minute to see what was playing and the TKTS guy recommended this show to us. We got tickets for 1/2 price at $60 and the seats were pretty good (3 rows from the stage but a bit off centered). It's a smallish theater and it was pretty packed. The dancers were AMAZING! Apparently, they were on So You Think You Can Dance from around the world. There was one dude, though, that was sweating like a waterfall. I think he was from Germany. Every time he spun, he'd look like a sprinkler since a stream of sweat would run off his hot half naked body...ahem...so it was not ALL that gross. There were also a couple of singers in the show that were really good.

This theatre is beautiful in an old-school sort of way. I recently came here to see A Bronx Tale before it goes off Broadway. The will call area is small so they only allow the person who purchased the tickets to go inside to pick them up. Then you wait outside (like most theatres) and are eventually let in. Inside is small and would normally feel cramped but it somehow doesn't. The restrooms are all the way downstairs by the merch table and a bar. If you're in the mezz, it's a schlep to get back upstairs but totally doable. The staff is friendly and the ushers take their programs seriously (they are only allocated to a certain amount for their section only). The mezz is small but comfortable. My knees didn't hit the seat in front of me, which was a new experience in an older theatre. Getting out is a slow process since the corridors are tiny. Everyone from all different directions trying to get out the same three exits. You just need to practice a little patience during the exit process. I like this theatre and look forward to coming here for another show in the future.

Lovely staff , ushers. Friendly and professional. What a great show. Such sweet and catchy songs. Tidy bathrooms. Seats can get pretty close up on the top balcony. But we could see everything just fine. Beautiful theater. I wanna come back. They sell candies and snacks in the aisles as well as at the bar Incase you need some sugar. I had a great time . Lovely music/ songs! Fantastic acting. It was a great time. Nice memories!!

Very nice theater. The seats are comfortable and even the balcony seats offer a nice view. The only draw back is they need to start letting people in 1 hour before rather than 30 minutes. The street sidewalk is narrow and the line is long to get in. I'm for security (checking ladies purses etc) but I don't see Longacre as a top terrorist target. Maybe spot checking bags is enough to keep the line moving.

Came to see A Bronx Tale. So cool and really funny at times. We sat in the first row on the balcony, a little cramped but I've been to more cramped theaters. I wouldn't suggest the first row on the balcony level because the bar does get in the viewing way when you are seated. I had to move my head up and down because the bar would be in the way.

This review is for the Longacre Theater, not the Bronx Tale as I did that separately. The theater itself is very nice and intimate. If you are in the mezzanine or balcony, be prepared for stairs. When we walked in, there were some older folks that were having some issues negotiating all of the stairs. Like many theaters, the seats are small and don't have a lot of leg room. If you are tall keep this in mind and try to sit near the end of the row. With that being said, try to sit as close to the middle as possible. We were in the mezzanine level on the left hand side about 6 seats from the end. We could see about 98% of the stage so keep that in mind when you book your seats. The rest rooms and snack bar were at the top level (that's the one that we were directed to based on our seats). Again you had a few flights of stairs to climb. The area was a descent size and you were able to get in and out during intermission. I would highly recommend walking around during intermission to stretch the legs.

This is a fairly small theater, but the seats are comfortable and not too cramped. Yes, you will need to get up to let people pass, but in what theater do you not need to do that? I've been to other theaters where I felt like my knees were touching the seat in front and I could barely move. In contrast, this was roomy. We sat in the center orchestra on the aisle, about 12 rows back and our view was great! If your going to see a Bronx Tale, be warned that the actor playing C has a spitting problem, so you may not want to sit too close. I had read reviews about this before buying our tickets and was so glad to have opted for seats a few rows back. Even from there, we could clearly see the spray every time he spoke. The ladies room was also clean and large, plenty of stalls for a theater this size, so the line during intermission stayed reasonable.

Last night, I attended a performance of Leopoldstadt. The play was wonderful (read the reviews!). However, throughout the performance, from the balcony, I could hear theater employees behind the mezzanine talking & laughing in normal tones of voice--seemingly completely unconcerned that a play was going on nearby. This totally unnecessary situation was distracting to say the least. If I had been seated on the aisle I would have gone down and asked them to please stop. The juxtaposition of the horror depicted onstage and the laughing chatter offstage was a major failure on the part of theater staff and management.

The theater is nice but old. The seats were better and worse than other theaters, so just as you expect! I'd love to see a bit more elevation between rows/ the woman in front of my had her sunglasses perched on her head and it obstructed my view. All of the staff was great!

Listen I love theater. I go to plays/ musicals a lot. Let me give you a great tip: THEY CHARGE SO MUCH FOR SNACKS AND WINE. My one suggestion is (which you really shouldn't do but I sometimes do) is sneak in your own candies or chocolates. When I saw The Bronx Tale I brought my own Lindt Lindor Chocolate Truffles and I was so happy.

Love, Love, Love, LOVED this show! My wife and I took in "A Bronx Tale" on a Saturday afternoon, got great seats from the TKTS booth and took in the matinee.. This theater became my most favorite as of yet due to the intimate feel you get. The theater itself is on the small side, but it being that small, really makes it become an incredible theater experience. The show itself was nothing short of awesome and really followed the movie. If you've never saw the movie and want to see the play, watch the movie first. Great show, great location, great time with your girl :-) Highly Recommended!!!

What a beautiful theater! Not a bad seat in the house at this place. I was lucky enough to score Orchestra center row B for a performance here, but anywhere in the orchestra would have been a great seat. The first few rows of mezzanine, too!

As a New Yorker, I probably see a Broadway show every 5-10 years. I am really glad that I went to the Longacre Theatre last night. I got my (premium, sixth row) tickets on telecharge, and they told me to pick up my tickets at 7:30 pm. I got there at 7:15 pm and the line was so long! But I had made a mistake and got on the line for people who already had physical tickets in their hands. I was disappointed I got on the wrong line and my actual line was much shorter. It would have been better if the theatre had employees who told us which line was which because I did ask other theatre goers and I was misinformed. But that is my one and only complaint. The theatre is small, intimate, and has a tasteful vintage look while still looking well maintained with modern conveniences. The seats are comfy enough. The employees are very courteous, polite people who are a pleasure to deal with. Now I'd like to talk about Allegience. I'm not a musical theatre kind of guy, I came because I'm a lifelong Star Trek fan and George Takei is one of my favorite actors. I find him to be an especially endearing soul and I wanted to support his artistic endeavors in any way I could. The theatrical talent is first class. Everyone knows Lea Salonga from her role in Aladdin, and everyone knows George Takei from Star Trek and Heroes. Everyone else is certainly worthy to act and sing alongside these two greats. The songs are soulful and catchy. Indeed, they are singing about a very important part of our American history. A part in which George Takei himself was subject to as a detainee of our country's most shameful treatment of Japanese Americans. Here we learn that the Japanese Americans had to part with their real estate and other property for a tiny fraction of the actual worth. That privacy was severely compromised and therefore personal dignity. And a lack of medical supplies available to detainees. The main character is Isamu or Sam. He has an affinity for America, and wants to enlist in the army during World War II. His sister Kei thinks differently. George Takei portays Oji-San (grandpa) and older Sam. I don't want to get into spoilers, but it's a very emotional and sad story. Just thinking about the ending makes me misty eyed, and again, I'm not a musical theatre kind of guy! But it also has its humorous moments. I laughed out loud a few times. I believe the impetus behind George Takei's creative impulse is to educate us about this dark time in American history. And I believe he did an outstanding job. Because beyond being education, it is a very technically proficient play with great music, catchy songs, and great chemistry between highly talented actors. I also like how some of the songs had Japanese language in them. That must be a first for Broadway, right? And i deeply cared about all the characters. I believe I will be thinking about this play for a very long time and I hope it survives the test of time and is re-enacted by future generations. I was happy to be able to see George Takei in the crowd afterward and told him he did a very good job (actually outstanding!) and he was so kind and gracious to respond to me. I also met Brad Takei before the show and he was very nice too. I hope it's successful and wins the hearts of critics and everyone else alike. This is my favorite play ever. SEE THIS PLAY!

Amazing, Lived up to the hype, Worth every penny! Been hearing about A Bronx Tale Musical since it came out and I've been dying to get tickets! I was so excited and it was such an excellent rendition of A Bronx Tale. The music was spectacular, the actors/actresses were brilliant, and the sets were so creative! How I purchased my tickets: I went through Groupon and I was iffy about it from the beginning but I decided to follow through with it because I saved over $40 on each ticket. After purchasing my vouchers I had to wait until the night of the show to pick up my tickets at the box office due to the fact that I was buying from a third party. Honestly it all worked out and we ended up sitting in Row N of the Orchestra, all the way to the left. Even though it worked out fine for me, I wouldn't suggest purchasing on Groupon. Seating- Like I said I was in Row N of the Orchestra Section all the way to the left. For the most part the view was fine but there was a bit of an obstruction and it took away from the entire Musical as a whole. We couldn't really see the left corner whatsoever and other people in our section were having similar troubles. The Longacre Theatre is extremely small so we all felt very tightly crammed together and there were poles, speakers and other obstructions that people need to be aware of before purchasing tickets that are anywhere but in the middle of the Theatre! As for leg room- I'm very tall and I felt that there was more leg room than other broadway shows I have been too but not an over abundance. Basically the leg room at my seats were tolerable. The show was spectacular! It went along side of the movie in most spots and the music that was added was fantastic! Overall it was an amazing show! Food & Drinks- Just like at any Broadway show, be prepared for the overpriced goodies being offered. $5 water bottle, $5 candy bars, $14 tiny alcoholic beverages and it you want a double... It's over $20. But hey, thats all part of the experience and you would swear the Chocolate Bar tastes better when your eating it at the Theatre. Overall it was amazing, a wonderful experience, glad I went! Longacre Theatre is tiny... be prepared... and because the Theatre is so small, tickets are pricey. I don't suggest purchasing tickets off Groupon. And try to get seats in THE MIDDLE of the Theatre for the best views! Enjoy the show!

Came to Longacre Theater in New York to see Allegiance starring George Takai, Lea Salonga, and Telly Leung. The theater is clean, beautiful decor, very tasteful vintage look, and well maintained. The seats are comfortable with adequate leg room. Allegiance was inspired by George Takai's experience as a child living in one of many Japanese Concentration Camps during WWII. The story is about a family's love, loss, tragedy, and redemption that's woven through the challenges endured during life in the interment camp. Lea Salonga gives a magnificent performance as Kei Kimura. Telly Leung is equally amazing as his role as Samuel, a young man who fights for his family's freedom. George Takai gives an Amazing performance as the older Samuel in his redemption. All the cast was extremely talented. Would highly recommend everyone Allegiance...won't be disappointed!

Only bad part was how the seats are cramped up. Your legs can't stretch at all. If you have any issues climbing stairs.. you better get seats on the lower level! Other than that, I love the theater and the Bronx Tale show was incredible! The REAL Sonny "Chaz Palentari" came out. What a great surprise! I loved the show!

Came to see a bronx tale here. This is a smaller theater but I really enjoyed the play and the layout. It is a similar layout to other theaters just a little smaller. Overall great experience and no complaints. The staff was very helpful to get us to our seats. Great job!

Caught "A Bronx Tale" last night at the Longacre. Even if you aren't a Broadway devotee like yours truly I strongly suggest you see this heart tugging, tear jerking, funny, whimsical love story (wait...aren't they all?) set in the Bronx sometime in the late '50's. The music was wonderful and the cast flat out nailed it. Just go. The Longacre like many Broadway theaters is a flash back to yesteryear in how it is arranged and decorated. Please note that this is not a bad thing; the sightlines and acoustics are excellent, although you will be fighting the desire to wear a cravat and spats. The staff was helpful and friendly, even for that annoying guy who shows up just as the curtain goes up (not my fault I couldn't catch a cab and had to shoe-leather-express it to the theater from 11th Ave.) While the Longacre will bring out you inner Flapper, A Bronx Tale will wet your appetite for a good home cooked, red sauce Italian dinner, complete with white tank top. Be sure to drip some sauce on that shirt...it's how we roll. Ciao!

An amazing theatre in the heart of the times square. Ample seating capacity with really nice decor. This theatre offers more leg space as compared to others in the vicinity. I agree with fellow yelpers about the ushers, one of them was rude but rest of the staff was very helpful and kind.
