Being in a theater smaller than many others, combined with comfortable seats made for a very comfortable evening. I recently saw The Great Gatsby and was struck by the how talented the performers were. Wonderfully sung songs, good acting and beautifully choreographed dancing. It was a pleasant evening

I really enjoyed this theater - it is beautiful (I do love anything art deco). It was the perfect setting for The Great Gatsby. The stage design was great! My favorite was actually the gas station set but they were all beautiful. And having the actual cars roll across stage was magical. I chose this play because I have seen everything Reeve C & Eva N have done together (Hadestown on BWY and Cabaret on WE) and had to finish my trifecta. They were great! The whole cast was great. The staff at the venue were very nice. My seat was comfy. I was in the first row of the rear mezzanine and had a great view.

Broadway Theater is farther away from Times Square's main theater hub and on this painfully cold day, we had tickets to see The Great Gatsby. I wanted to see this play since it opened. Arriving 20 minutes prior to the curtain call was a walk in the park--no lines or security check. We were whisked right to our seats which happened to be 4th row dead center. Yes, ecstatic! Like most theaters, Broadway is opulent and elegant but where they fell short was with seating. Once again Orchestra seats were not on an incline and the seats were very uncomfortable. As soon as I sat, I felt as though I sank to the floor. Legroom? Nope. I'm petite and felt cramped. Similar to previous shows, we had two tall people in front of us which obstructed the view throughout the show. Moving my head side to side gave me a headache. The production was 5 stars. Jeremy Jordan reprised his role as the original Jay Gatsby. And he was excellent. Aisha Jackson as Daisy was spectacular as was the entire cast. Since Iloved the movie with Leonardo DiCaprio depicting this era, I had to see it. Costumes were colorful and glitzy. Acting,, choreography and singing--superb. Set design was gorgeous. This production delivered on every level. Loved it! If you have penchant for the Roaring 20s, go see The Great Gatsby. A powerhouse production!

First broadway show ever and it was such an amazing experience!!! ended up seeing the great gatsby, and everyone was blown away. The cast is so talented, and the production was perfect. it was also jeremy jordan's last performance ever, and what a way to conclude this chapter. Sat on the balcony level, but it ended up being perfect because I could see everything so clearly! The seats were comfortable overall, and the space was clean. everyone else was very respectful of the artists.

There are only five playhouses, including this, that front on Broadway. Broadway Theater, originally B.S. Moss's Colony Theater, opened in 1924 as a first class film house. (A notable premier was "Steamboat Willie," which introduced the public to Mickey Mouse.) Seating is on the orchestra and mezzanine levels. No elevators, but The Broadway Theater is wheelchair-friendly with an accessible restroom off the lobby. Bathrooms for other theater-goers are located on the lower and mezzanine levels. As I typically have a flexible schedule when I'm in NYC -- an advantage of retirement! -- I scout for 'deals' on the Today Tix site. They frequently offer substantial discounts on seats that aren't the best, but certainly not bad. I sat orchestra right -- extreme right -- in the sixth row. I've found that orchestra seats in these old theaters while tight, offer a bit more legroom than upstairs. Unlike venues that make you queue up outside, Broadway Theater allows patrons to wait in their lobby. (Much appreciated when it's cold, hot or raining.) This week I saw a matinee performance of F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby." While critics claim the show glossed over the storyline, I thought they did an admirable job for a b'way production. Great sets, costumes, staging, performers. Not my most favorite show, but enjoyable.

We went to a theatre on Broadway, named...Broadway Theatre to see The Great Gatsby. We arrived about 20 minutes before show time and were ushered into the theatre. This process took place very quickly and we went downstairs to use the restrooms. There were plenty of stalls in the ladies room. It was fun to see that several of the women patrons got the memo to dress in period costume -- lot of sparkly sequins and glittering rhinestones, even a feathered headband or two. Several adult women carried booster seats -- can adults use these -- and maybe I should have picked one up too, because the sightline weren't great. I was constantly shifting in my seat trying to see the stage. The sets were beautiful. Ryan McCartan as Jay Gatsby had a lovely voice and Aisha Jackson as Daisy Buchanan sang beautifully as well. Michael Maliakel as Nick Carraway got the loudest applause the moment he appeared on stage and I thought Elena Ricardo as Jordan Baker had great presence. This was a fun show, although the songs were just okay and since the message of the show is overall a downer, I don't think I'd see this show again. It was surprising easy to get an Uber after the show. Did you know that Walt Disney's Steamboat Willie which opened in 1928, played here?

Returned to the beautiful Broadway Theatre, in order to experience The Great Gatsby, again. This 1,761 seat theatre has an amazing sound system, large stage, and aesthetically opulent for this musical. I'll never get enough of watching this Tony Award winning musical and hope that every Yelper will enjoy this production.

My wife and I went to see The Great Gatsby and we were glad we did! It was the PERFECT show. Everything from the stage setting, to the music, the costumes, and actors were amazing. It truly was a great production. It was better than the movie and made me want to read the book again. Best play I've ever seen, hands down.

We went to check for tickets around noon the day of the show and luckily, we scored some great rush tickets! Hack: Make sure you go in person for the best prices and ask for rush tickets! They open the doors about 30 minutes before showtime and the line begins prior to that. It was a beautiful day so I didn't mind standing in line. Once you enter, you'll see the bar and they have show specials which are great for about $10. They come in a little souvenir cup. Restrooms are downstairs as well the Gatsby car. Great for photos. It's a beautiful theater. You'll definitely appreciate all the architecture and the lighting. We sat right in the front so I was moved by the whole production. It was one of the best shows I've seen. I laughed. I cried. The Great Gatsby is a must see! The actor who played Diggy on the Liv and Maddie was Gatsby. His singing and acting were 100/10! I will say all the actors in the show were the best and the singing and dancing were amazing.

Awesome show. I love this story since I read it for the first time in high school. Great actors great scenery, lovely musical.

Pretty nice theater. Came here recently to see Gatsby the musical. Going through the security process was fine. The lines were not too long. The bathrooms were clean and had adequate supplies. The sell refreshments and souvenirs in the main lobby area. We had orchestra seats. My only complaint is the lack of legroom. I do not recommend anyone tall to sit on the ground floor. My legs were cramped the entire night. I was truly uncomfortable. Every time the lady seated in front of me leaned back, I felt it.

Entry
Alejandro S.

3 out of 5 stars I saw The Great Gatsby at the Broadway Theatre today, having read the novel and seen the film adaptations. I was curious how the story would translate to the stage -- and while there were strong creative elements, the overall experience was mixed. Visually, the production is a standout. The set design, costumes, lighting, and transitions between scenes were all beautifully done and captured the energy of the Roaring Twenties. The music was lively and atmospheric, and most of the performances were solid. However, the focus of the story felt oddly distributed. For a show titled The Great Gatsby, Gatsby himself was surprisingly sidelined, making the emotional core of the story feel somewhat muted. The Broadway Theatre itself has a classic charm with an impressive central chandelier, but the logistics were disappointing. Entry was disorganized, ushers were hard to find, and the seating was extremely cramped. As an average-sized person, I found myself physically uncomfortable by the end -- numb feet, knees, and back made it hard to stay fully engaged. Overall, it's an entertaining and visually polished production that modernizes the classic story in crowd-pleasing ways, but it may leave fans of the original novel wishing for a bit more narrative depth -- and a lot more legroom.

The Broadway theater is a lovely place to see a play. It has an Italian Renaissance style on the inside, but looks more modern from the outside. Apparently it has been renovated. I saw the great Gatsby there, and I felt that the theater went along with the theme of the play. I had an excellent seat in orchestra so I can't speak to how easy it is to see the play from other areas. The lighting and sound were good from where I was sitting.

Anyone know if they have parking, co$t?

There's lots of icon parking lots through out the area within walking distance. Prices are varied,and also depends on how long you stay. There is also valet parking at the Marriott Marquis hotel this is a little more expensive

I can write many reasons to see Hamilton, the Broadway musical…read more 1. The lyrics resonates depth with meaning. 2. The music is a blend that draws heavily of hip-hop, rap, R&B, soul, pop, and traditional Broadway show tunes. Modernized to 2015 era. Theatre patrons will not fall asleep. Theatre patrons will not be bored. Your ticket price paid is worth the theatrical experience. 3. It is based on the biography Alexander Hamilton, one of the Founding Fathers of the United States who was an instrumental supporter of the U.S. Constitution who fought alongside President George Washington in the Revolutionary War. His work laid the foundation of America whose face is worthy to be depicted on the U.S. $10.00 bill. 4. It depicts history of Hamilton's journey beginning as a Caribbean immigrant rising to America's first Secretary of the Treasury. It is deeply rooted in New York City history. It depicts American history of the opposition fight for independence and creation Independence of United States of America. He is buried in Trinity Church, Financial District, Lower Manhattan, NYC. It also narrates Aaron Burr's rivalry and jealously Hamilton's strong ambition, brilliance, and determination to rise. "Hamilton wrote the other 51!" Running time: about 2 hours and 45 minutes including a 15 minute intermission. I went to the room where it happens. I write this review like I was running out of time. Yesterday is a memory. Today is an opportunity. Tomorrow is not promised. Non-stop. Keep writing! I tell my story of my experience. It was exciting, lively and upbeat which does takes you back in time of Revolutionary America in 18th century period clothing with modern language and modern music. Ticket prices are highly extortionate! Tickets starts $127.00 to $155.00 for upper balcony or standard face-value seats. My rear orchestra center ticket was an astonishing extortionate $228.00! Hamilton, the Broadway musical makes use of the Richard Rodgers Theatre's double-nested rotating stage (turntables) prominently to create a dynamic, continuous movement and cinematic flow. I wish I saw the 2015 original cast Alexander Hamilton (Lin-Manuel Miranda) and Aaron Burr (Leslie Odom Jr.). Wait for it. Forward, eleven (11) years later I am now seeing it in 2026. I now have another Playbill and Broadway show ticket to add to my growing Playbill collection. Casting is non-white actors as the Founding Fathers of the United States and other historical figures for inclusion and equality. As per Lin-Manuel Miranda, songwriter, actor, and producer who described Hamilton: "America then, as told by America now." There is no traditional stage curtain for this Broadway show, but it did start and end on time - on point. There are 34 musical numbers total (17 musical numbers in each Act). The narrative is almost entirely sung and rapped through, thus, the numbers flow directly into each other without the traditional pause to segue in-between numbers. There is very little dialogue for spoken word as I would like a mix. There are occasional expletive explicit laden lyrical lines/ verses depicting strong explicit language "goddamnit." This includes uncensored F-word during the indiscretion of Hamilton's affair. "Cabinet Battle #1" & "Cabinet Battle #2" feature insults and harsher colloquial terms as "pain in the ass" and "shit." There are other numbers where expletive explicit laden lyrical embedded are "bastard" and "whore." Surely, my teddy bears speak more eloquently than thee! The costumes replicate 18th century Revolutionary era including U.S. founding fathers in white linen or lace cravats. My predilection for Hamilton musical numbers are: Satisfied Wait For It That Would Be Enough Yorktown (The World Turned Upside Down) Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story Live with intention. My passions and interests entice me to pursue more to look around. "When everyone who loves me has died" this I can absolutely relate. "Death does not discriminate. It takes and it takes and it takes. I am the one thing in life I can control. I am an original." These versus resonate depth for meaning. Rise Up!

I have always questioned to learn, to attain knowledge, to cultivate clarity, to understand, to seek truth, to learn one's deliberate intent, sometimes to challenge and seldom to rebel. Not Slytherin. Not Slytherin. I have been a Harry Potter fan since the early 2000s when the first book by J.K. Rowling was printed and released. I absolutely refused to see a double-day / two-part play show format 5+ hours to be left hanging and return another day/time as it was originally produced, but this has changed which prompt as my reason to see it years later in 2026. This Broadway play does not play John Williams' film score "Hedwig's Theme" as I had desirable hoped. I do believe in magic. I saw Tom Felton perform his originated role as Draco Malfoy from the film franchise. As per "New York Theatre Guide" Tom Felton reprise his role as adult Draco Malfoy now through January 3, 2027! Run time: 2 hours and 55 minutes, with one intermission. One word: WOW! The narrative was at first somewhat difficult to follow especially the Time-Turner Effect scenes of what exactly did Albus Potter and Scorpius Malfoy changed or prevent from occurring? The set design, staging for quickly moving set, props by swirling long robes without revealing stage hands' faces, costumes are great and resonantly brought the viewer into J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter world as an adult nineteen (19) years after J.K. Rowling's final novel, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" of Harry, Ron and Hermione. The special effects including character swap Polyjuice Potion, including Dementors menacing floating near the audience and aerialist stunts in duels were amazing. I particularly like the special effects from Time-Turner for use of projection mapping high-powered projectors cast warping, liquid-like visual distortions; acoustic design low-frequency sound waves and the entire set appear to bend, stretch, and ripple effect like a disturbed puddle reverberating into the auditorium. The clocks placed in the corners of the stage spun recklessly rapidly. WOW. Voldemort's half-daughter leaves "invisible" scribbles on a bookshelf to be decoded by a black light above the audience visible on the ceiling and balcony facade projected throughout the auditorium walls in an eerie shade of green which garnered a lot of oohs from the audience including myself. Oh! Hot air emitting from Scorpius' ears after he eats candy is very comically humorous. The narrative does include and bring back old characters as the cruel villain, apathetic Dolores Umbridge and the wailing angst Moaning Myrtle and ill-fated Cedric Diggory. Moaning Myrtle's costume was not true to the book as her hair is not in pigtails and she is not wearing the Hogwarts uniform. Moaning Myrtle is depicted as grayed out who is a ghost. Draco Malfoy's iconic film line: "Scared, Potter?" and Harry Potter's response "you wish" are spoken resonate an echo in this Broadway play from the film. I purchased jelly beans and one chocolate frog. My chocolate frog contains Albus Dumbledore card. Yes, there is contained fire, and water tank underneath the stage.

And then I asked if I could get a hug. And he jokingly said no at first, but then he said I'm not gonna leave you hanging without a hug and I started walking out of my row and met him halfway near the desk on the last row and got a hug!! He thanked me for being so supportive and I remember crying!! He asked if my cat was named Jimmy or Fallon and told me to tell Fallon that he says hi. I ended up getting another hug and went back to my seat afterwards. All I remember is someone else asking a question about working with Queen Latifah again and the musical guest performing. I'm just relieved that my sobs weren't caught in the background because I was crying throughout the performance. When the show ended, he went back into the audience giving them high fives and when he was at my row, he leaned over so I could reach without falling and shook my hand!! That made me cry even harder! I remembered crying while waiting for the elevator to go back to the nbc shop and thanking employee when they greeted me us. I'll never forget that day!

This was a fine experience. I'm not really a Fallon fan but the experience of watching a 'live to…read moretape' recording was pretty interested. We didn't have tickets, so we went to the gift shop at 30 rock through the 6th ave entrance to score some stand-by tickets. We arrived what I would call late, at about 11am. If you want to get these stand-by tickets I'd recommend arriving as close to 8am as you can, because every ticket is numbered and they can only fit so many people into the studio (they will always try to fill it). If I recall correctly the tickets said to come back to 30 rock at 3:15 but note - if you arrive a bit later, say 3:30, it won't effect your chances of getting in - the most you can do to increase your chances to see a show that day by walking in is to get there at 8am when they first start giving out the numbered stand-by tickets. Also, while they say you cant bring in bags, I had a smaller sized north face backpack and my friend had a large plastic bag and a small purse. If your number gets you in to see the show that day, you will pass through security like at an airport. Everything is extremely orderly and organized, the only stressful part is 'am I going to get in to see the show or did I just spend an hour and a half of my day for nothing.' My friend and I just got in under the wire, with the guy behind us being the very last person to stand-by for this day's show (there were about 56 stand-by visitors accepted that day). You will have an opportunity to use a bathroom before you sit for the filming, so don't be concerned about that. If you're a fan of TV or of Fallon you might prepare a question or two to ask him, he took a number of questions from the audience. The funniest one was 'are you going to use that entire bit you just did' because Jimmy and Drew Brees spitting pumpkin seeds went on far, far, FAR too long, about 3? minutes, which was about 2:45 longer than it needed to be. Jimmy was quick with the 'no, that's going to be edited down.'

We knew the premise a bit but were blown away and Come From Away exceeded all expectations. I've been listening to the soundtrack ever since (& a lot of the cast is the same).

Come From Away is one of the best shows I've seen on Broadway…read more The show is amazing! 90 minutes of pure entertainment. It's a musical about the 911 flights that had to land in Newfoundland. It hits all the emotions in a short time. I found myself laughing, falling in love with the characters and even felt a tear here and there. There's no intermission, so before you know it the shows over. I paid full price through American Express but when my husband came to join me a week later, we were able to get tickets at the TKS booth in Times Square for $75 a piece ( which was more than half off what I paid the first time!) and for both shows I was able to sit center orchestra 6 rows back. Totally enjoyable both times. The music was great and the actors were even better. I highly recommend this show. If you're in NYC between 1/18 - 2/13/22 check out NYC Broadway Week -they're offering 2 for 1 tickets on some great shows and this is one of them.
