    The theater itself was very nice and intimate. The staff was very friendly and laid back. My one issue is the lack of knee space which was unbearable.

    The theater is very beautiful, but it's old (build in 1912) and has limited restroom facilities. Be sure to visit a restroom before entering the theater.

    Saw the hilarious "Sylvia" with the great Tony Award Winner, Matthew Broderick!! Beautiful historic theatre. The bartenders even come around to your seat to wait on you. A total plus. 👌🏽

    A great theater for serious plays. On the “wrong” side of Broadway but this way you don’t have to deal with the crowds. Not much lobby space but every seat feels close.

    Brightstar is terrific and closing far too soon [next Sunday]. Best leg room I have experienced in a long time.

    There are two lines but no one seems to know, so everyone just waits in the really long one. Just walk right up to the front if u have your ticket and go right on in.

    Go see the Cripple of Inishmaan! Even if Daniel Radcliffe isn't there, this is an amazing show with a phenomenal cast!

    Great little theater. Only 2 ladies bathroom stalls on the mezzanine level, so make sure you run at intermission.

    $10 for a flat soda in a plastic sippy-cup? Don't stand for highway robbery: there's a water cooler in the lounge by the men's lavatory.

    Small theater, so skip the expensive ticket prices and go for the cheaper seats.
