    I went here to see Little Shop of Horrors on my NYC trip! Super cute theatre and it's on the smaller side too so it's more intimate. I sat almost in the very back and the person in front of me was a little tall so I couldn't see some of the time. You can hear the performers really well though. The production was amazing for my first show in NYC especially since it was off broadway. If you wait outside near the doors you can also get signatures. I waited maybe 20 min to get the main cast. I was a bit disappointed that Milo and Liz were sick but the understudies did so well that the show was still very very good. They were also super nice when I met them! There are always a lot of talented people in this show so I totally recommend going.

    Cozy small theatre with no bad seats. Saw "Little Shop of Horrors". If you haven't seen it, run, don't walk and check this off your "to do" list. Had an amazing time.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

I wish I would've taken a picture because it was really confusing how to use our priority tickets because there were so many people standing in line they were blocking the sign. Also, you should definitely get the priority tickets. For us it was only $11 extra and it is WELL worth it. The play was amazing! Everybody did such a great job and I really loved Scorpius's character. Of course Tom Felton was there as the original Draco Malfoy, which is the entire reason that we came. If you want to during the play, you can order food to your seat which I thought was cool. The rest of the snacks were good for what they were. We booked through AAA and got a snack bag with popcorn water and a cursed child cup filled with Gummies. Everything was really good. If I could change one thing and I know this is like, "come on" but the seats were kind of uncomfortable. Google says that the Lyric Theatre was redone in 1996. The seats feel like they are from the 1930s so plan for that. Some

The show was surprisingly modern, and completely captivating from start to finish. The energy in the theater was unreal as everyone, including celebrities, came out to celebrate Megan Thee Stallion in her final performance as Zidler. 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. We soaked in the city, took in some sights, and of course grabbed a slice while we were there. I am beyond grateful to my husband for such an incredible and thoughtful gift.

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.

Since it was one set, they did a good job going from area to area to keep things visually interesting without breaking from the singing.

Only critique was the one girl who wasn't a size 2 had on long sleeves and pants under a dress. Like...it's not that hard to dress an averaged size woman.
