After a Year Off-Stage, Broadway Stars Are Ready to Think About Opening Night

"Dancer Marlon Feliz made her Broadway debut in a revival of West Side Story, which opened on 53rd Street just three weeks before Broadway was closed. The show had been running for only a few weeks after months of rehearsals and previews when the pandemic struck."

We just saw this past weekend a fantastic production of Little Shop of Horrors at this charming theater. Despite its small size, the venue has a warm atmosphere, friendly staff, and comfortable seating. Elizabeth Gillies and Milo Manheim SHINE in their roles, bringing fresh energy to the classic story. The entire cast is pitch-perfect, delivering a captivating performance that had the audience thoroughly entertained. The overall performance was fabulous!!! As a suggestion: It would be great if the beverage stand could offer cold drinks or provide ice. It would really enhance the experience. Thank you!

Went to see Little Shop of Horrors and it was AMAZING! Had the incredible honor of seeing Milo Manheim and Elizabeth Gillies perform and they were incredible ❤️ the theater is smaller than other Broadway shows but it feels more intimate and there's really not a bad seat anywhere. There's not a lot of room when someone has to pass by but your view is not obscured by someone in front of you, I sat in the center orchestra in row K and had a great view. Amazing experience! Would come see another show here, it's far from the craziness of Times Square but not too far a walk if you have a hotel around that area.

The Little Shop of Horrors musical was absolutely amazing. I enjoyed it more than watching the movie, and I really loved the movie. The girls that were singing in this act were absolutely amazing, my hat off and a standing ovation to the entire crew.

Cozy & small venue! We sat in the middle, the view was incredible & the seats are comfortable. Sounds was great. They have drinks, snacks & souvenirs! All the staff are helpful and friendly! We saw Little Shop of Horrors which was an amazing show, totally recommend it!

The theater was bit bigger than expected but definitely smaller than others. I went to see Little Shop of Horrors and if you haven’t seen it yet I recommend you do while Milo is still there. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to see Elizabeth Gillies however her understudy Morgan Ashley Bryant was absolutely Phenomenal as Audrey. Hands down the best performance I’ve ever seen in a while. You are a star!

We loved Little Shop of Horrors! It was one of the highlights of our trip. The cast was amazing and the intimate theater was the cherry on top. We even stayed after to greet the cast. Five stars all the way!

Saw little shop of horrors first week of June at the westside theater where the setting was intimate and homey (the place used to be a church!). The staff was friendly and the seats were more comfortable, larger in comparison to regular Broadway show seats. The show was amazing! We were sitting on the left side of the stage where the sound initially was too loud which you get used to within time.

Here's a positive review for the West Side Theater: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently had the privilege of visiting the West Side Theater, and I can't express enough how accommodating and compassionate they were toward my daughter, who is a cancer patient and recently had surgery on her leg. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to ensure her comfort and accessibility. They truly understand the importance of creating a welcoming environment for all guests, and their kindness made our experience unforgettable. Thank you, West Side Theater, for your amazing support and for making our outing a special one! We can’t wait to return!

Love this theater! So cute and intimate. Not a bad seat in the house. The show was amazing as usual. Can't wait to come back again. The ushers are always professional, kind, and curious.

Awesome, intimate theatre venue. I saw the off-Broadway production of Little Shop of Horrors starring Andrew Barth Feldman and Sarah Hyland as the leads, so that was very cool to two moderately famous actors perform in this live musical.

A theatre that seats 300 has no bad tickets. Seeing Little Shop of Horrors here was the best theatre experience I have ever had. I could have literally reached out and touched the set cast if I wanted to. Seeing the veins in their necks when they sing, getting spit on while they sing haha...it was an experience. The staff was also friendly, restrooms readily available, seats pretty cozy.

I still can't believe this is an off Broadway production, because it's so great. We didn't see any major celebs in our production, but it was so good. The set and theater are both small but I loved the intimate setting. Definitely worth going to see.

Super lucky to be able to watch Broadway Musicals in NYC. The is my first time watching Little Shop of Horrors Live and in person. A work colleague had bought 5 tickets and planned on watching it while in New York and was invited to join in. If you're familiar with Broadway Actor's, Jeremy Jordan was playing the role of Seymour during a limited run until September 17, I've seen him perform in other shows, and I could feel the hype in the audience since he was being featured! This past Saturday night, we made our way down after an early evening at dinner. I've walked by this theatre many times as it's right in the middle of Hell's Kitchen, It was my first time inside this Off- Broadway Theatre. It's kinda historic and charming compared to the bigger ones in Midtown. I loved it in a different way being that you are super close to the stage, you don't need binoculars but this is also different as the live orchestra wasn't in the front pit. But with all the close-ups made for better viewing. Lucky for us, our seats were right in the middle of the riser. It's not a very big theater, guessing approximately less than 100 seat's total. We got to see it with a good view. Regardless of where your seats are, you'll get a very close view of all the actors on stage! Westside Theatre is right in the middle of Hell's Kitchen District, just a few blocks from Midtown Manhattan. Right on 43rd St. between 9th & 10th. The concession stand and restrooms are on the 2nd floor and to get into the theater you'd have to climb up to the 3rd floor. I can't recall seeing an elevator for those who need assistance up and down each level.

What a great little off-Broadway theater! I wasn't sure what to expect, given the "off-Broadway" designation, but it was phenomenal! Very intimate theater. The sound was amazing and the talent was wonderful! We saw Little Shop of Horrors and I have to admit it may be among my favorite musicals now after having this experience!

This is a great little theater off-Broadway. The theater is small and intimate, which really makes you feel involved with the show. It's such a cool experience to be so close to the stage. The theater is upstairs so when you arrive you have to walk up a flight of stairs which surprised me. I'm not sure what's on the bottom floor or if there's an elevator but the bar and merch are also upstairs.

Truly a delightful little theatre. Its a little worn here and there but its just a nice experience - due to the smaller crowds toy don't feel like a piece of livestock being moved through which can happen at the larger "on broadway" theatres at times. Its a sweltering summer here and yet everyone was let into the cool theatre as they arrived and before doors open. Its such a small theatre we could hear someone prepping their voice in advance and the attendants were terrificand nice. After the cast came out and signed autographs and took pictures out front and it was truly a terrific experience.

Excellent musical little shop of horror. Great seats seats are a little tight so if you were tall, other than that, it was excellent.

Westside Theatre is a great location for off Broadway shows. We recently watched "Little Shop of Horrors" last Sunday afternoon. It will be ending soon. We were excited to see how it would turn out versus the movie adaption from years ago. Westside Theatre, there is stadium seating. We sat at the top, no seats or anyone behind us. Good view to look down and view the entire stage without distractions. Exits were noticeable, and bathrooms were small and cleaned. The show was upstairs. It almost felt close to walking in a house. If there was another off Broadway show again, I wouldn't mind coming back.

I would absolutely love to attend another show at the Westside Theater Upstairs again! This little theater is clean, classy, and fabulous! Not a bad seat in the house! The bathrooms are nice and clean. There are 6 stalls and three sinks in the womens bathroom. I'm sure the mens bathroom is nice too. In the lobby you will find a handsome bar where you can order drinks, get snacks such as M&Ms, and purchase memorabilia. The actors, set, lighting, and sound are top notch! Loved the Little Shop of Horrors! This little theater has big personality and is classically classy.

We had an amazing time at this theater. We saw Little Shop of Horrors. The theatre is very old and small, so yes, I agree with other reviews that the seats are not the most comfortable, but similar to others in old theaters. The sound was loud and clear, which I appreciated. Since the theater is small you could see the actors up close. The play was high-energy, the acting and singing were superb, and I enjoyed it a lot! Highly recommended! Go see it before the show ends its season! The theater sold drinks, and I noticed many people bringing them to their seats.

Amazing seeing Little Shop of Horrors here. Being a fan of the movie, I was excited to see how the production would be handled in small theater and they delivered! The cast was funny. The set was spot on as if it was right out of the film. And the star, Audrey II, was wonderful to see it come to life. Single stall bathroom on the first floor. 4 bathroom stalls on the second floor. Cute homey feel being that the location is small, it felt like I was stepping into someone's well decorated living room. All seats have a great view because they are diagonally placed. Even if you're in the nosebleeds, you'll be able to see and hear everything well.

Such a great theater! It is a small off Broadway theater that is the perfect venue for the production of Little Shop of Horrors! It is a smaller theater which creates for a really intimate experience. There isn't a bad seat in the house! They don't have a full bar like most broadway houses, but they do have bottled water available for purchase at the merchandise stand. The show was so funny and made for a great Sunday afternoon. I would definitely recommend checking this theater and show out if you're a theater lover! Bonus is that Bea, a fabulous restaurant, is right next door and is perfect for pre and post theater dining!

I got to see Little Shop of Horrors at Westside Theatre both before and during the pandemic. It's important to note that this theater is not handicap accessible and the theater is located on the second floor, in addition to having steps to initially get into the building. I love this production and am appreciative of the employees here making an effort to keep everyone safe. The employees wear their mask the entire time and make sure that the audience is too. They check for your vaccination card and that it matches your photo ID. There's merch and refreshments available on the second floor, as well as a few tables to sit before you go inside the theater. I wish they had a bigger of clothes though. The production itself is WONDERFUL. Christian Borle killed me both times and whether it's Groffsauce or Conrad, you're always going to have a great Seymour. I'm so happy that this was my first show as I resumed my pre-theater life. It definitely made me feel better about resuming my pre-pandemic theater life of seeing a show once a week.

Came to the upstairs theatre to watch "Little Shop of Horrors" on Wednesday night. I had the perfect middle seat but honestly the theatre is so intimate there isn't a bad seat in the house. All the rows are vertically spaced enough so you should have no trouble seeing above the person in front of you. I was so up close to the performers, it was great. I came about an hour early so I sat in the lobby until doors opened about 20 minutes prior. Seating went by real fast and before you know it the show was starting. Such a great theatre and hope to come back to see many more amazing shows! (It goes without saying that "Little Shop" was INCREDIBLEEEE - I love you Jeremy Jordan + Christian Borle)

Took my sister to see Little Shop of Horrors. We constantly watched the movie growing up and to this day say " Feed me Seymour" if we get hungry. LOL. The cast was phenomenal!!!!!! I mean the did an incredible job. Down to the gentleman on the keyboard. The voice of Audrey ll was even better than the guy from the movie. I wish I was able to record so I could watch it again, I really enjoyed every last moment of the show. Except the tiny ass seats. I was very uncomfortable the whole time. I can't say if I'm back in NY I would go to this theatre because being in those seats for 2 hours is no fun.

This is a review for LIttle Shop of Horrors. Never seen the original movie and had no idea about the story line other than it has to do with a flower shop. This was an excellent excellent show! The stage is small and the stage layout pretty much remained the same for the entire show. i really loved all the characters. The 3 girls/narrators of the show are just delightful! Same as the other main characters, Seymour, Audrey, Mr. Mushnik and of course the dentist. However, teh very best goes to Audrey 2 and I LOVED Aaron Arnell Harrington as the voice of. Amazing amazing voice!! and really brought alive Audrey 2's character. I would definitely say the main star of this show really is Audrey 2. Very cleaver and entertaining and so glad we saw this show. the theatre itself is quite tiny. think just the orchestra section of your typical broadway theatre. literrally any seat you be close to the stage.

I think I'd agree with many folks - there isn't a bad seat in the house. Except, all of them. These are some of the smallest seats in a theater I've experienced. I'm a bigger guy and was very uncomfortable in my seat. And I was with someone who is bigger than me and he was very uncomfortable. It ended up that the other folks in our row asked an usher if they could take some seats that weren't filled yet in order to give us room. Also, they were very strictly saying that if you were late or got up during the show, you wouldn't be let in. But people were let in late and leaving/coming back during the show. That was weird.

Cute, smaller off Broadway theater in what used to be a church. No elevator so must use stairs for access to the upstairs theater. Not a bad seat in the house! Bathrooms both downstairs (unisex) and upstairs. Small concession stand upstairs. Little Shop of Horrors currently on here and it's FANTASTIC! Staff checked vaccination status, clearly stated mask policies, and enforced those policies throughout the evening. Enjoyable theater experience.

What a lovely off Broadway theatre. Seats were comfy, not a bad viewing spot from any seat, only thing, it's on the second floor so if you have trouble with stairs, this could be an issue. I didn't notice an elevator but I would imagine there is one. Great venue space, air conditioned and not stuffy. Located steps from the train station so it's also very convenient to get to. I would love to return to see another show here. Shout out to my Theatre Buff Yelp Buddy - Andie.

This review is more for the production of Daniel's Husband, than for the Westside Theater. I do love this theater but this show is incredible moving. This is my 4th time seeing this play; each time bringing a new group of friends to experience this powerful play. Outstanding writing, acting and set. As I mentioned earlier, this play is very moving. It made me laugh; it made me go into the ugly cry! No joke! The acting and story is just captivating. The story itself is gay themed but honestly, the premise is universal. I won't go into too much detail, so as not to ruin the story for anyone who wants to see it. But go see it!! You will thank me later. :) I believe the show closes on Sunday, Dec 30th, so hurry!!! Go see it before it's gone.... maybe you'll see me there...for a 5th time?!?! LOL

Saw Little Shop of Horrors here. It's a very nice intimate theater. I was actually very surprised walking in and seeing just how small it was. The show had three price points, $59, $79 and $99. I chose the $79 seats. I was in the middle of the theater, and had a perfect view. I chose seats thinking I'd get an aisle, but it was the left side wall. That was fine, but the internet seating chart makes the place look bigger. I couldn't imagine that there was a bad seat in this place. I was able to hear and see everything. No problems at all. The show was spectacular. They had a small bar and souvenir area. They were also easy with the Covid checks, just have your vaccination proof and id ready.

Recently saw "Little Shop of Horrors" here. Westside has two small theaters and Little Shop was in the larger one upstairs. I certainly understand frustrations that this theater is not handicapped accessible. One not only has to walk up stairs to get to the theater, but then there are more stairs to get to the seats. This is clearly stated on the theater website. Besides the theater, upstairs there is a full size bar/snack bar and bathrooms. The theater itself is very cozy. There is not a bad seat in the house. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing Jonathan Groff, Christian Borle, and the rest of the talented cast perform in such an intimate atmosphere! I would not hesitate to see another production here.

I visited Westside Theatre yesterday to see Little Shop of Horrors. Upon arrival, we entered the lobby where people were waiting for the upstairs lobby/bar to open. It was very simple and dated. When going upstairs, the floors were creaking but it gave a fulfilled joy knowing how long this theatre has been in business, the amount of productions performed, and the history behind it all. The upstairs lobby was also small but it fit everyone just fine. The bathrooms were well stocked and clean (just needs an update). I didn't order anything from the bar. They did have some drinks (beer, soda, water) and a few snacks (pretzels and candy). I bought a magnet that was $10. They had a few shirts, a jacket, a pin, and a fake plant that said "feed me." It was cute but didn't know where I would put it. When going into the theater, I was amazed by the seating!! We sat in row 4 seats 103 and 104. I'm so happy I didn't buy seats any closer because these were perfect!! The theatre has stadium seating which is fantastic! The production was amazing (kudos to the puppetry), music was phenomenal, and the actors put on quite the show! We absolutely love Little Shop of Horrors! So my 4 star rating is simply because the theatre is old and needs a little update. However, I am conflicted with giving it 5 stars because the age does give it charm.

I purchased a $34 one year subscription to www.tdf.org to buy tickets to 4 shows. Discount seats became availability online a few days before the performance. Two Friday night center orchestra tickets to "Cagney" cost us $28.50 each, full price $90 each. This is one of the older theaters around, but has been completely renovated over the years. It is located in the far southwestern corner of the Broadway theater district, a good 40 minute walk from our Manhattan Club timeshare on 56th street It can be considered off Broadway. Handicap ramp in front of the theater, but no handicap access within the theater, to overcome a series of steep narrow stairs leading to the theater seats. If you don't like steep stairs, then this theater is not for you! Aisles on each side of the theater, with three entrances. Stadium seating, with your knees at neck height of the row in front of you. We had to climb over some larger ladies to get to our seats. Seats are cramped, with knees resting against the seat in front of you. Ladies got up and shuffled down to the aisle. They decided they didn't want me passing by, rubbing my behind against their groins! What you would call intimate seating! At intermission, wife tramples a couple of slow pokes on her mad dash to the bathrooms. Bathroom lines for both men and women at intermission. 5 stalls for the women. 296 seat capacity, or 1 to 30 ratio of toilets to women. To accompany all 150 women, each women would have to take no more than 30 seconds on the toilet! Sodas $4, but only coke and diet coke -no caffeine free sodas, and all sodas must be consumed during intermission. "Cagney" is the rags to riches story of actor James Cagney, his rise from vaudeville to the Hollywood screens in the 1930s, his rise as an actor "on top of the world", his conflicts with Jack Warner, owner of Warner Brothers Motion Pictures, his fame in a series of gangster movies in the 1930s and early 1940s, and his breakup and reconciliation with Warner. The entire show is one big musical, with almost nonstop singing and dancing in various settings and costumes. Small orchestra of 5 players behind the stage. Lots of tap dancing scenes toward the end. A vastly entertaining show I would go to again and again!.

I truly enjoyed our night at the Westside Theatre to see Little Shop of Horrors. After checking our vaccine status, we waited in a room with a bar for the theatre doors to open. Staff clearly announced drink, photography, and mask policies before letting us in to our seats. The usher was kind and attentive, and took time to help people to their seat at the pace they were comfortable taking steps. Our seats were on the left side - there are a few rows with only 2 seats, which is perfect for a pair of theatre goers. The theatre was small enough that you could really see facial expressions of the actors (Jeremy Jordan and Christian Borle were fantastic). Overall I had an awesome time and the show was great!

Small, but acoustically sound and not a poor view in the house. This is a great venue for any act where you want to be up close and personal with the performer(s). In our case, the illusionist Vitaly performed large card tricks, photograph magic and the illusion that stumped Penn & Teller on their "Fool Us" show. Even for those who don't love magic, the show was fast-moving, and fun, with lots of audience participation. Perfect venue for this show.

Nice small theatre - very intimate - a great place for theatre. Of course, the show normally determines what theatre you attend, but if there's a show you want to see here, I definitely recommend it.

Thank you to YelpNYC for receiving two complimentary tickets for the tunningshoe Stuffed featuring Lisa Lamparelli. First time visiting this theater, it's a dated small off-broadway theatre with a small stage & seating. The theatres small size creates for great seats regardless where you are. I was very happy with my seating selection. Since I've never seen the star of the show perform, I must be honest I didn't know what to expect. It was very funny, for most of the 90 minutes, with a few moments of seriousness. The show depicts issues women face on a daily basis, with food, body issues & weight fluctuations. The show did have corky/corny scenes but the main objective was very real which was highlighted in a humorous way. I would watch it again yet I'd search for discounts for it. If you're into raunchy, funny, really life topic comedies then this show is for you.

Just saw Curvy Widow here as part of a Yelp Night on Broadway event. It's an off-Broadway theater that is pretty old and historic. It's on the tiny side and houses two theaters, smaller on lower level, and the larger on the upstairs level at which we viewed the show. Narrow stairwells to climb up which leads to a small lobby with bathrooms and a bar to grab a drink or snack. Seems well maintained overall Cool AC on a warm summer night. The larger auditorium up top featured stadium style seating which offered great views of the stage. Not a bad seat anywhere really. Good sound and acoustics. As usual, with these old theaters the seating is not too roomy and on the tight side. The tall dude with long legs seated next to me looked like he was in a torture device from the Saw movies. Overall, it's an average theater. Nothing about it really stood out or wow'ed me. Just a nice decent place to see a show.

Thanks to Yelp I came to see the show Stuffed with Lisa Lampanelli and it was really funny. I wasn't sure what to expect since Lisa's comedy is really funny but raunchy. This show was really good and really talked about all the food issues us women deal with on daily basis. The whole cast was awesome and really played their roles. They made a very serious, sad subject fun and entertaining without making it silly or minimizing the issue. Thank you to Yelp for this great tickets and letting us enjoy a night out.

This was.my first Yelp event. I saw a new Lisa Lampanelli show, Stuffed. It was very funny though often crude. One of the actresses was a last minute replacement and she did a great job, as.did the rest of the cast. It had some serious moments, but I was laughing for most of the 90 minutes. It also made me think about how I view food, which is a good thing. Since it is still in previews, it is still changing. I would be interested I'm seeing it again and seeing how it evolves. The theater is small and every seat is a good seat. I wouldn't pay the full ticket price though, so will go see it again when I find discount tickets.

Hot as hell! Dumb mask mandate for no reason. You cant even get in the dam lobby if more than 8'people are here. Masks make these events no fun at all. Ellen at the front was so arrogant dealing with patrons who pay her salary

The show was good, but there were a lot of distractions. Before entering the theater, those of us on time were told that once in, if we left to use the restroom that we would not be let back in until intermission to avoid disrupting others, which makes sense. However, they allowed late comers to enter the theater during the performance for the first 5 songs (multiple sets of people trickling in throughout) including making my husband and I get up during one of the songs to let latecomers into our row. With the show starting about 10 minutes late, this means they are still seating people 30 minutes into the showtime. It created a bad experience for those of us who were on time.

What a truly lovely little theatre. Went to see Little Shop of Horrors, and was so impressed with the friendliness and professionalism of the theatre staff. Taller patrons will have trouble with the leg room in some seats, but I was plenty comfortable (I'm just under 6'). As someone who also takes tickets and ushers in big city theatres where I live, I was truly impressed by the staff; the process to check vaccinations and IDs at the entrance had everyone through quickly (if you want it to go faster come to the entrance with your vaccination and ID cards already out, instead of waiting until you go up to the checkpoint to look for them in your bag or on your phone). Thank you for making the announcement before we entered the auditorium inside with very clear and careful instructions for mask wearing and photos/video. Special mention for the assistant manager who enforced the mask and no photo/video policy throughout the show without disrupting the experience. I only noticed because my usher brain refuses to deactivate in a theatre even when I'm just there to watch a show, so I can't turn off my Eagle eye searching for the signs of phone use. whenever someone busted out a phone, or took off their mask, this manager flew around the theatre several times without me even seeing him get there, and that is not easy to do in this space. A testament to the greatness of the show performance for sure, but also of this great staff. I actually learned a trick I'll employ next time I'm ushering. Great job everyone!

A 270 seat theatre off 9th Avenue in NYC. There are 21 stairs to get to this intimate theatre setting. The seats are snug but leg room is not too bad. The sound and lighting are excellent. Bathrooms are upstairs where the theatre is so that's good. It is not handicapped accessible due to the stairs otherwise this would be a 5 star review.

Love the musical Little Shop of Horrors. There isn't a bad seat in the house. The play for funny and entertaining. They enforce their mask policy and the staff wear their mask properly. We had such a great time and would love to see another show soon.

Very rude staff. Went to see little shop of horrors and the management needs to take a look at the tall guy with black hair who takes tickets and threatens people with throwing them out of the theater. For what? Taking a photo??? Didn't know this was such a big deal. Asking to put the phone away nicely would've done the job. Other workers were also very unfriendly. Get new help!

I went with my adult daughter on Saturday, December 11th. The ticket holders were crammed into the lounge/upstairs lobby waiting to get into theater. Someone told us it would be 2 more minutes. About a half hour later someone else told us that the show would be cancelled "with the utmost caution" for the actors. They obviously didn't care about the safety of the ticket holders because we were crammed into the area for over an hour. It is not their fault that the show had to be cancelled. But making the ticket holders wait packed like sardines is not right. If they would have let us in to sit down we would not be crammed so tightly. They had signs out front stating there would be no stage door autographs and photographs for the safety of the actors. But it was OK to have their ticket holders crammed into that small space.

This quaint theatre is a nice choice for someone in the mood for a small production with broadway style execution. As far as the space, it is cute and well kept. With a small box office and a downstairs theater that seats probably a little over 250 people. I've gone twice and both times was greeted by a manager who offered me better seats if my partner and I wanted to switch. I only was a little disappointed when the concession stand was really lacking. There was wine and a few snacks but that's it, and the prices were upsetting. I watched The Other Josh Cohen and loved the play. It was a well-thought production and fun all the way through. I was impressed by the songs and music quality! Very pleased with the shows I have watched there and would recommend others to go. (Just maybe bring your own snacks).

An ok venue for Broadway shows. Not as big as the venues from Wicked, Chicago, etc. But still good enough to hold a show.

I have been to this Off Broadway theatre numerous times for years. This theatre is one of my favorite theatres. There are two auditoriums. The one upstairs is the larger auditorium with super exaggerated stadium seating which makes for NO BAD SEATS. LOVE IT! You will have to climb steps to get upstairs. There is street parking outside after 7pm. (this deserves 4 stars just for the parking)

Off Broadway theater. I went to this place a while back - dragged there is more appropriate, to see "I love you you're perfect, now change". In any case the theater itself is small but surprisingly cozy - the seats were comfy which is more than I can say for a lot of the mainline theaters over on Broadway proper. The lobby is tiny at best so you will be pretty much crowded in there before the show. Bathrooms were good size and clean. The theater is laid out well- small for sure but that pretty much means all seats are good seats. I'd go back.

As a New Yorker wading through the crowds of tourist wasn't my ideal version of fun but fun times call for desperate measures. Luckily it's located close to all the major subways so location wise it's not as bad to get to. From all outward appearances The theater gives the impression it's very small but in fact as you walk in to the theater it seats a decent amount of people. On the second floor you can grab an adult beverage and buy show merchandise and the bathrooms are located to the right of the area. Everything is clean and well maintained. In you walk and you're directed to your assigned seat by an usher. What I liked about this theater is that it's big enough to house a sizable amount of people but small enough to make the experience intimate and personal. The ac was at full blast as it was a 90 degree day but you weren't freezing to death. The seats are comfortable but not much leg room to work with if you're 5' 8 and above! So it may be an off-broadway theather but it has all the New York charm and glamour that makes the plays come to life!
