I came here to see "Drag, The Musical" in its preview week. I would review "Drag" itself, but unless it's extended, I don't know that it makes sense to do that.
This is a smaller off-Broadway theater with smaller auditoriums/theaters. There are six shows going there right now (from Drag, to some weird bubble show, to Teeth--based on the angry vagina feminist manifesto--and I mean that in the best way possible--and more).
Easy entrance. No waiting in a long-ass line like if you're going to see Hadestown or Book of Mormon.
Staff are helpful and efficient. Bars are decent, though you're not getting anything special here--just the regular theater fare at increased prices. But I liked having a double cocktail while watching drag, so no complaints here.
Easy to access bathrooms, clean and open, not too cramped.
Shows here are pretty affordable. I paid over 150 for my seat ahead of time for Drag, but someone next to me rushed and got a similar seat for 39 dollars. I'm just anxious and like to have my plans well in advance.
The best seats for Drag are the second and third row of tables, so you can fully see the runway. The best that was available when I purchased were the stage side seats, which were great . . . but involved a little (literally, just a little) neck extension, and I had to turn behind me to see the little bit of runway action.
There really isn't a bad seat in the house.
Happy, joyful, accepting. Loved it. And while I am not a New Kids on the Block fan, Joey McIntyre was the straight cis het male character here, and I had no idea until afterward. But he did a great job and the whole cast was a blast. Very funny.
I will definitely be keeping an eye out on this smaller off-Broadway venue to see excellent material without all the hassle and the fuss!
