    One of my best friends is performing in Hell's Kitchen on Broadway right now and we went to the show last night. I have to shout out Delia, who made our experience so special! Long story short, we agreed to switching with a family who could not get tickets all next to each other. Because of that, Delia went out of her way, asked the house manager if they could upgrade our seats, and moved us to the most amazing seats, 6th row center! The staff here are really spectacular and Delia made our night!

    Saw Hell's Kitchen at this theater. It was an incredible show. Good audio and visuals. Seats are the same amount of snugness like other theaters. Security and ticket check were quick.

    Celebrating wifey's birthday, she has been wanting to see this play for a while, so what's a good time...her birthday, the coldest day of the year lived up to the hype. Thankfully the garage is just a few steps from the Shubert, however Shubert alley was brutal. However enough about the weather. I'm normally not a balcony kind of guy but that was all that was left for this specific day. We had to go up 4 separate staircases to get to our seats and the seats were so tight it was ridiculous. Now I've been to several theater venues and these were the most uncomfortable and the geriatric individuals behind us kept kicking and pushing our seats with their feet and knees. However the show was FABULOUS, if you haven't seen it be warned it closing soon on Bway and being taken on tour. So run before it's Gone b

    Really loved the Shubert Theater! It's historic and beautiful. I love the old wooden French doors especially because you can see the age on them. The chandeliers are not my style, but cool in this place. The ceiling is artfully decorated in case you're bored at intermission. One of the best features is the seating! Not only are the seats set stadium style (but on a slope not steps), but they are staggered too. So short people like me look between the two heads in front of them, not straight at one of them. Best of all, the seats are much roomier than some of the theaters. I'm little and even I feel cramped at some broadway shows. Well, not at the Shubert Theater! The only bathrooms I could find could only be accessed by stairs, so I asked if they have accessible restrooms. They do not in the theater but the have an agreement with a neighboring business to which they will escort you for access. So not perfect, but a solution. Also, Hell's Kitchen was amazing! See it right away!

    Located close to Timesquare, it's an easy walk to or from. We got great seats at the end, even though it stated partial view. We were ushered in to our seats. I took in all the beautiful architecture of the theater while we waited for the show. There's 3 levels which makes sense as there are less rows than the bigger theaters. The sound system is great. It sounded very clean. The signing was amazing! Ali was an amazing singer. I kept thinking she should have her own record deal already! The dancing was electrifying and captivating. It was definitely a vibe! I laughed and cried. So entertaining!

    Hell's Kitchen was such an amazing show. The choreography and the singing were out of this world. I can honestly say I loved everything about it, and would highly recommend it to others. The Shubert Theatre is smaller than some of the other theaters I've been to on Broadway, however, the room size really works for the acoustics, staging, and intimate atmosphere being created. I usually prefer sitting in the balcony center, but there really isn't a bad seat in the house. The only thing I had an issue with was the attendees' late arrival obstructing the view of the stage, and those who had seen the play before tended to sing and recite some of the lines throughout the play. It was a bit annoying, yet, I still enjoyed every moment. If you haven't seen it yet, you have to go! Very clean theatre. Excellent staff. No need to stress about parking, as there is a parking garage right next to the theatre (use SpotHero to reserve parking; they're reasonably priced), less than a minute walk. This show has so many gifted performers; I can't wait to watch them again. Hopefully, in the near future, because once doesn't seem like enough. Believe the hype, it's that good!

    I've been to several theaters across NYC and have seen many Broadway shows--this particular show was fantastic. No complaints about the performance itself. However, the venue? Meh! First, there are no elevators. If you're seated in the mezzanine or balcony, be ready to walk up flights of stairs. The mezzanine is only two flights up and has some room to move around, which is a plus. But if you're in the last row of the mezzanine like I was, prepare to miss half the stage--the balcony overhang completely blocks the view. Terrible' The seats are tight. If you're taller than 5'9", it's going to be uncomfortable. The bathroom and concession lines are long, so plan accordingly. The staff was friendly and the theater itself was clean. The location is super convenient--right in the middle of everything, and next door to the famous Junior's Cheesecake (a bonus if you want a treat after the show). Bottom line: loved the show, but the theater itself isn't a favorite.

    I had a great experience attending the Hell's Kitchen Musical! The Shubert theater is well organized and seating is pretty decent (for a NYC theater!) but what impressed me the most is their updated sound system! Makes the experience a true Broadway gem! The sound quality is clean and impeccable really enables one to devour the performance! A great show was fortunate to see Yolanda Williams and Ne-yo performing!

    In town for work and wanted to see Hell's Kitchen. Against my better judgment, my hubby suggested we be "real travelers" this time, be spontaneous and not replanned. I said ok but inside I was screaming...what if they sell out (queue the internal tears)?! We arrived at the theater a few hours before curtain to allow for dinner before the show. Michael was the lovely man who helped us. He was able to find us two "best in house" seats for less than what I projected the show would cost...major score! Michael shared some additional information and we were all set. The show was a blast, I'm so glad we were able to see it the day we allotted to visit Broadway. Thanks again, Michael!

    I'm very fortunate and super blessed to be able to watch Broadway Musicals & Plays in New York City. Initially, I had heard of Hell's Kitchen through word of mouth. But then when I watched the performance on this past Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, it really caught my interest. More so when it won a Tony Award a few months ago. This past Tuesday, I finally had made plans on watching it and I was wondering if maybe Rush tickets were available. Once in a while I do put in and bid for lottery tickets. To no avail, you could only purchase online tickets or walk in to the Box Office. The cheapest tickets were in Mezzanine, instead I really wanted a good view. To my surprise, Center Orchestra was available at very good price! Shubert Theatre is right in the middle of Times Square Theatre District just next door to Junior's Restaurant. There is free WiFi. Concession stand is either on the main floor or downstairs. Extremely clean and sanitary restroom facilities. Most importantly, lots and lots of security inside and outside before entering the theater.

    absolutely love the theater is so beautiful old with a beautiful criminal thing here to see hell. Kitchen is a fantastic show. Seats were so comfortable and everything was very had a little bit of backseat but everyone in a theory you're gonna have a good view.

    Cramped seats
    Liz A.

    Saw Hell's Kitchen here last night. The show was amazing! This theatre is old and that is reflected in the accessibility, bathrooms and seats. The bathrooms are located up and down many flights of stairs. The mezzanine has a few bathroom stalls for women, one of which started overflowing next to me while I was in there- gave me quite the start! Men's restroom's are all the way downstairs. The seats are super cramped. I'm just under 5'8" and my knees were smashed up against the seat in front of me. This is probably the most cramped I've been in a theater. If you are in the upper mezzanine seats, your view is partially obstructed by the balcony over you. Staff is super friendly. We particularly enjoyed chatting with our usher Marty who was a wealth knowledge regarding the show and theater scene here in New York.

    Came to see Hells Kitchen. Theater had discounted ticket for mezzanine seating at $40, cannot complaint as i was seating O24 right side of the atage area. Bathroom are on the lower level alongside bar, not that i be drinking here. Interesting outing with my wife and daughter who enjoy broadway shows much more than me.

    Ask the Community - Shubert Theatre

    Looking to book tickets for Hell's Kitchen at Shubert Theatre. Anyone book balcony tickets? Is it a good view? States on website that there is an obstructed view. Thanks for your help.?

    If it's the first rows of the balcony you'll be able to see everything. The further back you get, the more of the stage you won't be able to fully see but it's mostly the top you can't see. So still not bad seats and much more affordable.

    Can tickets be purchased at the theater?

    Yes, tickets can be purchased at the theater. I'm glad I bought ahead of time though, the theater was PACKED, not an empty seat in the house.

    Are Orchestra seats at street level or are they up a flight of stairs?

    They are at street level. There are no steps to reach the orchestra level.

    I received tickets to the production of To Kill a Mockingbird in February as a Christmas gift. I was wondering if the different name on the tickets will be a problem?

    They didn't check names (and I wasn't aware the ticket had names on them?). If you mean a name for will-call pickup, that will prob pose an issue because they'll need ID for picking up.

We booked through AAA and got a snack bag with popcorn water and a cursed child cup filled with Gummies. Everything was really good.

She was hilarious, quick, and owned that stage in every moment she appeared. Even though I've seen her perform on tour, it felt like such a special experience to witness.

Even though it's a non-traditional spin on the character, she infuses the role with her signature "hot girl" energy and is a total joy to watch on stage. Despite her massive personality, she manages not to overshadow the rest of the cast. I think that speaks volumes about the group's chemistry... she fits right in without upstaging anyone. Since it's a jukebox musical anyway, having Meg perform some of her own hits while the rest of the company joined in was a great touch. Having seen the original cast in the 2019 Moulin Rouge production, which was also wonderful, I'm really glad I got to experience both interpretations.
