A beautiful theater! Had the best time here seeing George Clooney! Seats weren’t that pricey, only 75$ ea for partial view row 2. Had no problem at all seeing any of the play. If you’re considering getting those first couple partial view seats… go for it! The drinks were good here, great bartender. Really easy process getting in the theater too, barely any line for such a large playhouse.

Broadway spectacular! Well worth TONY Nominations. Winter Garden Theatre performance GEORGE CLOONEY GOOD NIGHT and GOOD LUCK Awakening, eye-opening experience. Clooney's obsession with journalism and truth is a triumph, civil liberties 🗽 and freedom of speaking is captivating. Complete surprise and getting to know a journalism legend, Edward R. Morrow. Great music, great stagging, great inspiring message. A must-see if you value facts & truth over politics. Amazing birthday 🎂 celebration!

An unforgettable Broadway debut! This was truly one of the most magical experiences I’ve had in a long time. My first time at a Broadway theater — and what an incredible production to start with! The concept was bold, the execution flawless, and the performances—absolutely stellar. The entire cast delivered with passion, but one young actress stood out with a voice so pure and vibrant, I felt myself transported straight into the heart of the 1960s. George Clooney and Clark Gregg brought grace and gravity to the stage, and what touched me deeply was their humility: at curtain call, they stepped back, allowing the rest of the cast to shine. That quiet gesture spoke volumes. Bravo to every artist involved — a world-class performance I will never forget!!!

Broadway theater that feels more intimate than some of the larger ones. There's the orchestra seating and one mezzanine, so even the high up seats aren't that high. One star off for the ushers; they were not discreet during the performance.

One of the main reasons I came to New York City for Christmas was to see “Back to the Future” the Musical. Yes, I’m a total “Back to the Future” nerd, and I was curious to see if the show was as good as the movie. And the verdict: IT’S EVEN BETTER! Grateful that we were given permission to sit closer to the stage for ACT 2 because other people didn’t show up. And loved the “Back to the Future” swag store next door to the theatre. You made me one very happy theatre nerd!!!

Tonight was a special date night, to see newly announced, starring, Tony nominated, George Clooney, and the amazing cast of Good Luck, Good Night. Winter Garden Theatre is a lovely, historical theatre in the heart of Broadway. The theater is immaculately clean, with beautiful architecture, and elegance, that has stood the test of time. Loved the friendly staff, the drinks are very pricey. I ordered (1) Sauvignon Blanc, 2 bottled water, and M & M's $38.00 plus tip. The wine was in a kid's cup with a lid, like a sippy cup. No complaints, it could have been in a styrofoam cup, just happy that I could enjoy wine, along with the play. This riveting Broadway play is just as relevant today as it was during the times of journalism in the days of Broadcaster Edward Murrow. The montage begins as a bit of a nostalgic romp through time, the pace begins to hasten the play draws closer to the present moment. The final shot, Elon Musk "giving his heart out" to the audience. Clooney soon signs off and leaves us here in the present, left to grapple with the questions the show raises about power, truth and accountability. Very much enjoyed every minute of this play!

Back to the Future: The Musical at the Winter Garden Theatre in NYC is an electrifying, nostalgia-packed experience that brings the classic film to life on stage! From start to finish, the show is filled with high-energy performances, stunning visual effects, and a fantastic soundtrack that blends iconic songs from the movie with exciting new music. The set design is incredible, especially the way they bring the DeLorean to life—it’s pure movie magic on stage! The cast is phenomenal, perfectly capturing the essence of the beloved characters while adding their own unique spin. The humor, heart, and adventure of the original film are all there, making it a must-see for both longtime fans and newcomers. The special effects, especially during the time-travel sequences, are mind-blowing and add to the immersive experience. Whether you grew up with Back to the Future or are discovering it for the first time, this musical is an absolute blast from the past—10/10 would see it again!

I saw the Back to The Future Musical here last night with a close friend of mine. Wow! What a great show! I'm bwey familiar with the original storyline of Back to The Future so I was thrilled to see that the talented cast did such an amazing job at bringing the story to life. The theater is clean and spacious. There were incredible special effects during the show (lights, music, bubbles, flashing lights, etc.). If you're not a fan of loud sounds & flashing lights or are very sensitive to it, this may not be the best show for you to see I remained in my seat throughout the intermission so I was unable to see where the restrooms were along with its cleanliness. Most theaters sell drinks and snacks which I'm sure this one does as well. I am looking forward to come here for another show in the future.

After a remodeling in the late 1890s, the Winter Garden Theater, owned by the Shubert Organization opened in 1911 with a 1600 seat capacity and just one balcony. The interior is gorgeous and the theater was designated landmark status in 1988. This theater was home to many solid gold productions such as Gypsy, 42nd Street, Cats, Mamma Mia and so many more. Back to the Future is currently at the Winter Garden and is a wonderful production. We had first row left orchestra seats; however, the last 2 seats of the row would have been bad ones since they were way off to the side . It's always possible to have a bad seat so choose wisely. . As for the play, it was spectacular. If you're familiar with the movie/franchise, then this musical will warm your heart. Great acting, set design, effects and music contributed to the overall positive reviews. If you enjoy time machine thematic stories, living or reliving 1955/1985, you'll love this production. A sweet journey to yesteryear and an overall feel good play. Go see it.

Had the opportunity to snag tickets for another play/musical last month. Back to the Future! Honestly, I only went because the ticket/price was unbeatable. With bestie down for the ride we headed into the city, We grabbed some food and drinks prior to showtime but we were still early. So we grabbed our seats and settled in. Needless to say I was pleasantly surprised by how good the show was. Extremely entertaining and good balance between dialogue and songs. Definitely, a good one to check out. Just A Note: No spoilers but the ending leaves the audience in awe.

Came to see Back to the Future back in November and had a wonderful time! We were graced with Casey Likes for Marty McFly, as well as fantastic leads across the board. Everyone had killer vocals!! I loved everything, from the storyline, to the music, to the extravagant stage. The scenes where the DeLorean travels through time are my favorite parts - super fun and innovative! They adapted the movie very well, in my opinion, 10/10! This musical is fit for all ages - nostalgic for the older crowd and exciting for the younger crowd. Back to the Future is easily in my top 5 broadway shows and I highly recommend it as one of the productions to watch for anyone looking to get into Broadway.

I loved this theater, I'm tall and the seats were wonderfully spaced, my knees were not hitting the seat in front of me. Back to the Future was totally fantastic, the special effects were the best. Go see this show in this beautiful theater. There were plenty of restroom stalls as well.

What a night! It is a stunningly beautiful theater. Came here to see the Back to the Future Musical. There were three people in our party. We sat on the last row of the orchestra section. Even though we were under the mezzanine, the view was not obstructed and still had an excellent view of all the characters and could clearly see the stage. The seats were comfortable and had enough legroom. It was a bit chilly inside the theater so I keep my coat half on because I didn't bring a sweater with me (something you may want to consider). There are several concession stand selling food, drink and merchandise which is good so that the lines move fast at intermission. When we left the theater there was a DeLorean parked outside to the left which you could take pictures with and tip the guy.

A grand old theater. We've seen four shows here. Rocky the musical, Beetlejuice, the music man, with Hugh Jackman, and most recently Back to the future, the musical! The theater employees are always very friendly and helpful, . My partner is disabled with a walker, and they are always very accommodating, . We have always sat in the orchestra, and even in the very back of the orchestra, there is not a bad seat in the house. The acoustics are fantastic. However, if you want to buy souvenirs or concession items? Be ready to pay up. I paid $17 for a soda that came in a "collectors cup", (the only way, they sold it,) and a candy bar. Unfortunately, you are going to pay that everywhere. It's Broadway theater prices. Back to the future, the musical was awesome! Lots of energy, great musical numbers, of course a great story, and the technology was amazing. The time travel scenes with the DeLorean were stunning! A good day at the theater. We can't wait for our next show here.

Watching the new Back to the Future Musical at the Winter Garden Theater was very entertaining. Staff and security do a quick and smooth job at getting patrons through smoothly. The musical was spectacular. The special effects were magnificent, the singing was commendable, and the sound system was concert quality. I highly recommend enjoying Back to the Future in this historic theater and enjoy the ride.

We loved our experience seeing Back to the Future here today! I have seen lots of shows here and it is a beautiful theater. It is bigger than a lot of other houses, so be prepared for a bit of a wait to get in, at the bar, merch stand, etc. All the lines move quickly though! The bathrooms were clean and well maintained. We sat in the orchestra and had a fantastic view! They did a great job transforming the theater with the set and the lighting. I found the seats to be more comfortable than other Broadway houses as well. Back to the Future is a great family friendly show and you will especially enjoy it if you are a fan of the movie. They did a great job adapting it for the stage, and Doc's Act 2 ballad had me in tears! It was full of campy fun and the special effects really added to the story and the staging. Go see this show!

A review for BACK TO THE FUTURE: Umm absolutely amazing! They were also playing this musical while I was in London and I didn't get the chance to see it so I was so happy to be able to watch it here in New York. This is now part of my top 5 musicals ever! Here are my favorite parts of the show: - The theatre is great, small and intimate so you can see all the actor's facial expressions close up. - The dancing was incredible, some of the best dancing I have seen on Broadway. - Probably the best singing I have heard on Broadway in the last 2 years. My friend literally thought they were lip-syncing because of how good they were. - I absolutely loved all the special effects from the bubbles blowing into the audience, to all the sets, fire, and even to the way the car lifted off unexpectedly at the end of the show. Everything was incredibly creative and I was very impressed. - The storyline, although at the beginning was a bit slow, was very cohesive and funny. It was not one of those classic Broadway storylines where people fall in love, there's a bit of that, but it is so original. I know it was adapted from the movie but this is one great adaptation. Cannot recommend seeing BACK TO THE FUTURE more! So amazed and was so happy that I got to see this!

Came here to see Back to the Future. The musical itself was fun and entertaining. We enjoyed the show. The seats however were uncomfortable. We had Center Orchestra seat row S and had to constantly bobble side to side in order to see the stage.

I came by to catch the Back to the Future show in December when I was in NYC. I thoroughly enjoyed the show. The music was phenomenal. The theatrics simply amazed me. The actors and actresses were so talented in both dance and song. I'm glad that I chose this as my first Broadway musical. It truly blew me and my friend away. I left in amazement and was all smiles.

The performance "Back to the Future" was absolutely amazing, but the Winter Garden staff and security were the rudest I've ever experienced on Broadway. It felt more like a rock concert, which may be actually saying too much. Thugs is probably the best and most accurate descriptor of the staff, who were more bouncers than professional staff. Between the toothless security guard, who was straight out of central casting, and the "suits" and their profanity laced F-bombs as they admitted people into the theater, my family and I were thoroughly embarrassed. Seriously, these derelicts could have ruined the entire show and experience if we allowed it. If possible, save yourself and your family the stress and drama by avoiding the Winter Garden Theater and choosing one of the finer, classier establishments on Broadway.

Saw Back to the future the musical there. I paid thru a ticket company. the seats in row S on the end had us bobbing back and forth to see those on the stage. $179 dollars each and 20 for processing. Like pushing a button to email it to you is difficult. At intermission I clicked some nice old images on the walls. I stopped by a girl selling candy. I asked if she had peanuts. Oh yes a very small bag- $5.00. No. I had no idea of the people on line at the liquor bar what they had to pay for a drink. I did buy a shirt and seems to get a sticker, magnet, and socks with it it was another 20 plus 50. Ok these places really get you. There is a praise that Julie Andrews used in a movie "tooth fairy" " of all the unmitigated Gaul" I looked it up. It fits especially at the end when some actors come out and ask you to reach into your pockets asking for money donations. We left. (like they could take 1 dollar from each of the sales from every person at every performance and sponsor the actors and other donations that they were asking for... This said; the show- great special effects. ( not saying) They emphasize do not use your phone/cameras while these parts were taking place. Singing, to my ears, was just ok. One song about dreamers from Doc had nice words. The Dancers were nimble with agility and grace. Acting and comedic timing was good as was the Orchestra down in the pit.

My favorite theatre in the Broadway district. This is where I saw my first show, Cats in the 80s. Been a theatre goer ever since. It's an intimate venue which allows the orchestra pit and sound quality to be heard beautifully. Roads?! Where we're going, We don't need Roads!!! On this day we came to see...Back to the Future The Musical. My son must've watch the movie 100x growing up. He's 21 now. Without giving too much away, the ending was EPIC!!! It had the audience going wild and clapping on their feet. I was completely blown away by the acting, set decoration and high-tech special effects. I didn't expect to love it as much as I did. I was throughly entertained from start to finish. I don't think I have ever laughed so much at a Broadway show as much as I have this one. Seating - super comfortable with plush brown velvet. - the roomiest leg room out of all the theaters I've been to. Enough for someone to pass you by without getting up. - we sat in Row C (mezzanine), the vantage point is great. I'm short and if someone tall is sitting in front of you, that person will not block your view. Restroom - it's always chaotic when it's intermission and everyone darts to the restroom, there are multiple stalls here which is rare. Merch - sold downstairs, upper level and there is a shop outside next to the theatre. Note: I always think it's nice to keep one of the playbills as a souvenir. Make a collection out of it. To date, I have attended over 20+ Broadway shows.

This is my second time seeing a Broadway musical at the theatre. For this outing. I won Broadway lottery for Back to the Future musical . I was sitting in Left Orchestra, Row V, Seat 27. It's the last row in that section with a perfect view of the whole performance . There are almost no obstructions. Great seat and amazing show. Go see it !

Fun performance of Back to the Future. The intermission was a little too short because when I went straight for the bathroom without stopping to look at any of the souvenir booths, the lines for both men and women's restrooms were crossing each other in very cramped halls. I couldn't get back to my seat in time after the intermission was over.

I came to this theatre to watch back to the future. The seat that I had was partial view, so I wish I had better seats, but you get what you pay for as I did the a lottery. There's bathrooms on the mezzanine floor and the main floor. I have invisalign, so I wanted to brush my teeth, and the lady who says which stalls are free and keeps the line moving started yelling at me. Said brushing my teeth will in turn spread covid. I was a bit offended by what she said as was she being racist because I'm asian or was she genuinely worried? Can't covid be spread just by talking and people coughing around you as well? All in all, she left me feeling singled out and embarrassed as she screamed at me in front of everyone and rolled her eyes at the situation.

I attended the show on Saturday June 20th at 2pm of back to the future. This was the second time seeing this show. The first time was incredible so I decided to bring my boyfriend and his 13 year old daughter. I told them all about the flying car and how amazing it was. The car Sat on the stage and didn't do anything! We were all so disappointed to the point that she was in tears. I reached out to telecharge for at least a partial refund and I was denied because the show didn't stop and the actors came out and still did their bows. The car flying was the last 3 minutes of the show, of course they came out and bowed... I have to say I'm highly disappointed with my experience this time around and will never be back to this establishment again!

Watched Back To The Future here. Located fairly close to the heart of Times Square. Charming Broadway theater and even better show. Seats are a little narrow if you have a wider load like me but still comfy enough. There was also a show gift shop attached to the theater. Good for a night out!

3.5/5 overall as a venue that is in comparison to at least 10 others we've visited across the world. The sound and visual presentations were definitely the standouts for portraying "The Music Man", which I may add is a 5/5 broadway show to check out! The restroom situation was a bit chaotic, with a couple incidents with the staff being rude when herding people around made up lines. Would go back to catch other shows that are NYC exclusive, but there's simply better venues to get out to see without the hiccups.

The theater is in a great location. We showed up about an hour before the show and waited about 15 minutes before they let us in. While we waited, we checked out the souvenir shop. It was cool, but had nothing I couldn't live without. We saw Back to the Future on Saturday. We got our Rush tickets for $40 the morning of at the theater when the opened. There were at least 30 people in front of us and we luckily still got tickets. Our 3 seats were in the very back row of the first floor. They were 3 seats by themselves which was perfect. Despite being at the very back, we could see very well. This is a smaller theater, so it's hard to have a bad view. The show itself was one of the best and most memorable things I have ever done! The Back to the Future movie is my favorite movie of all time, so I loved every second of the show. All the actor did a fantastic job, especially George McFly. The actor who played Principle Strickland was the worst though. Goofy and overly cheesy which is the opposite of Strickland's character.

I attended an evening showing of The Music Man at Winter Garden Theatre a couple of weeks ago. I had a great experience! The theater is not too big, so even though we were sitting in the balcony, we still had a great view. We could see the actors faces well, which was really exciting! It is very easy to enter and exit the building. The staff that were working were very thorough in showing us to our seats. The Music Man was INCREDIBLE! I highly recommend buying tickets.

During these tough covid times, finding a Broadway Musical of your choice can be difficult. What's showing, you either have already watched it, certainly not all shows are available on dark Monday's, or unfortunately an entire show is cancelled indefinitely or temporarily due to covid. As the next best thing, I booked a ticket to watch The Music Man. I've walked by Winter Garden in the past when Beetlejuice was running at the time, so I was very familiar how to get back here. Safety first. Upon entering, the ushers verify not only your e-tickets, but a picture ID and vaccination card. Once I walked in the theatre, it's as if I've been here before almost looks like another theatre in Broadway. Very intimate feeling, seats so close to each other, balcony on both sides of the stage, but I didn't get to see how high the Mezzanine floor was as I purchased Orchestra seating. During intermission, I guess for those seated upstairs in Mezzanine, they didn't need to climb steps as they were located upstairs. Again, because of covid, the concession/snacks and bar was closed so no food/beverage could be consumed during the show. But very nice venue.

Such a historical venue with a beautiful interior. Please be aware that you have to wait in line outside until you are allowed to be seated - so make sure to bundle up if you go during the winter time! My wife and I watched the Music Man with Hugh Jackman and it was very well done! Him and the rest of the cast did a phenomenal job! The performances were so organic and Hugh even broke character a few times to joke around with the cast during some of the comedic scenes. One complaint though - more bathrooms are needed! The lines are super long during the intermissions and you don't want to leave during the performance and miss the show. I can't wait to visit again and watch more shows at this venue! Two thumbs up from me! :)

Just saw "Back To The Future" the musical. It's excellent and likely to win multiple Tony awards next year. The acting is superb; the staging is dynamic. There is nothing I can say wrong about this show. Get your tickets while you can as it is likely to be sold out for many months.

Omg! Musical Back to the future. My teeth had been dry for 3 hours with a break for 15 minutes Positive and stunning musical! All singers are so energetic and it so cool when a young guy drives the whole musical! They have some tiny imperfections that make musical more attractive! For example main character in a couple funny moments started to laugh and had a really funny fight with his own smile (but maybe it was so perfect acting). He's not my type but his stylized voice mesmerized me and his curls and his wide smile make me freeze expecting his next move. All singers not tired of that story and they are alive, all emotions honest! I love it a lot! I like to rate everything so.. Volume of stage 10/10 Effects 10/10 Jokes 11/10 Freshness 10/10 Music 9.5/10 Voices 9/10 Light performance 11/10 Costumes 10/10 Advice: make sure your seat in the center of audience hall (not too close, not too far) How it feels: It's like that feeling right before you cum. And that thought had been spinning in my head "yes! YES! Keep going, don't stop, please a little more"

Very cultural, historical theatre and came here to see Music Man. I'd love to see another show here for the ambiance but I'm not so sure about the acoustics. I used to watch a lot of Broadway shows in LA and felt that the sounds aren't as loud in this theatre (and other theatres in NYC actually). Maybe they didn't feel the need to because the theatre is quite small? However, I still felt the sound projection could be further improved. Hearing the songs on my phone speaker is a better listening experience, which is ironic. Bathroom lines are very efficient so props to the staff for that!

I saw the Music Man with Sutton Foster & Hugh Jackman! I loved the efficiency of the staff at getting everyone to their seats & the bathrooms during intermission. I do wish the concession stand had move people working it so the line wasn't as long as it was. The seats didn't have an abundance of room between rows yet there was enough to cross your legs & let people walk pass with only a slight goosing of fully clothed body parts.

3 stars, or A-OK. This theatre is nice, but was a bit disappointed with the layout. The mezzanine is odd and rounded, so gives people on the sides a cut off view of the stage. Despite my ticket being sold at full price, I couldn't see half of the backdrops, which were a pretty big part of this show. There was no indication it was limited view.

My first time at Winter Garden! And my first show back post covid. Had orch house right seats, Row E, on the end. A little worried about partial view, but the tickets didn't say partial view on them so figured we would be good. It was fine, just maybe missed one or two of the entrances from off to the side but had no problems seeing the scenes. Seats were comfortable and plenty of leg room as a 5'7" person. The important info: ladies bathrooms are to the right when you walk in. They have maybe 10 stalls. Go before the show because intermission line is impossibly long. The stage door is on the opposite side of the building so you have to walk around (not that I'm encouraging stage door post covid, yet) Shows seen here: Music Man

This Broadway theater in midtown Manhattan favored for large musical productions, was originally opened in 1911. This historic New York City landmark is operated by the Shubert Organization and seats 1600 people. I was lucky enough to get to see Music Man with Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster. It was fabulous. They have so much talent. The musical numbers were so entertaining. After exiting, I stayed afterwards and was able to take a photo of Hugh Jackman when he was leaving.

Fantastic small theater. Saw the Music Man (which is amazing) and loved the whole experience. The bar and merch areas are in the same room as the theater, no separate lobby like the Majestic for example. It's a very cozy size, so I don't see how there could be a bad seat in the house. Do note though that the bathrooms are just as you walk in, so if you're trying to get there at the end of the night you might be fighting through crowds that are exiting the other direction.

Saw Music Man last week and loved it! Our seats were Center/Right Mezzanine Row D, Seats 108-109 and they might be the best seats I've ever had on Broadway and I've sat everywhere! Orchestra, balcony, aisle, middle, front, back, standing room, etc. These seats had a clear view of the entire stage! All I needed was my glasses and I could see wardrobe details and facial expressions. Winter Garden still has vaccine policy so we got to the theater 45 min early and breezed through with no line. After the show, while looking for a cab, I heard people screaming and turned around to see Hugh Jackman posing for photos at the stage door! Tickets: I was coming from out of town with my elderly Mom so I needed to get tickets ahead of time but my friend did rush that morning and got $50 third row orchestra for the matinee. If you're not particularly a Hugh, Sutton Foster, or Music Man fan, I recommend the rush line.

I was lucky enough to visit The Winter Garden Theatre on 1/13/22 to see The Music Man with Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster while still in previews. I was nervous about sitting elbow to elbow with a bunch of strangers as omicron is running rampant. My smart friend noticed that the theatre released tickets for a box on StubHub and we were lucky enough to be a party of 4 in a 4 person box! So it was just us. So great! All of the ushers got us there swiftly. The theatre is beautiful and the show is spectacular! Two really talented leads and a great cast. I wouldn't hesitate to return.

Recently visited Winter Garden Theatre for the first time to attend a showing of The Music Man on Broadway and it was absolutely amazing. I love the vintage upscale atmosphere and the staff were very friendly. The view from the orchestra section is great and we had easy access to beverages. The show was so awesome. I would definitely come back again. Thank you for a great experience!
