Lovely theatre , the space feels very intimate .

Jason Crockwell

I took my mom to see color purple but was not expecting to enjoy it as much as her. It's an amazing play with incredibly talented cast

Trae F

The seating is tight in the mezzanine. No leg room up there. Beautiful theater with a friendly staff . The Ferryman is an amazing play.

Loni French

Great theater , good views from anywhere. Large restrooms in basement . Currently showing 'The Color Purple ' - so good!

Stephanie Spann

There are no bad seats! Depends on where you would like to sit and enjoy the show. Not a huge venue. The show (The Color Purple ) is awesome

Robertino Lim

DON'T buy drinks on stage at intermission . They rush you off as soon as you buy your $13 beer , $14 wine or $5 water. Have a drink on stage BEFORE the show. At least then you can enjoy the jam session.

Anna G

This show is amazing, different from any other musical experience. Note that bathrooms are down a long flight of stairs, but the bar down there will be much easier to get a drink at!

Matthew Hunter

Once The Musical took a gem of film and turned it into a low brow Chuck Lorre style comedy . If you like Two and a Half Men then thus might be for you. If you love the film Once, skip this.

Christina Squitieri

Saw the Ferryman , which is beyond incredible. See it here!

Vivian Li

If you're here for Once go onto the stage before the show & during intermission , where they have a functioning bar set up & the actors start coming onstage.

Amanda Oberg

Once the Musical starring Arthur Darvill is incredible. The music is fantastic and it's a different kind of Broadway experience!

Sean Molin

Intimate theater layout, easy to see and hear well from any seat!

Norah

The Color purple is a must see if you are in NYC

Mike Hopkins

Such a beautiful theater . Not a bad seat in the house!

Paul Kardous

Intimate theatre with good acoustics and easy to get in and out of.

Don Korb II

Once, the musical is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Superb. Exquisite. Go see it--whatever the cost. You'll never be the same.

Polina Bogacheva

Once the musical is absolutely fantastic, don't judge it by the film , those two are as far apart as they could possibly be

Monica Goff

You can buy drinks at the bar onstage before the show and during intermission ! They also have (expensive ) water if you're under 21.

Julia Ann

come early to Once for pre-show performances ! this theater also has big bathrooms-it's a broadway miracle!

Carlos G

There is The color Purple . Best show on town and for Tony's

Michael Haarala

Small theatre with bad bard and merchandise layout -- But, The Color Purple is fantastic!

Matthew Hunter

Partial view from the Mezz is pretty good and worth the cheaper price. Don't get partial view Orchestra tickets

Time Out New York

Make sure you see Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson , a musical about the seventh U.S. President with an emo-rock score and an ironic, silly-smart approach. Opens Oct 13.

Courtenay O'Connell

Rush tickets available each day when box office opens, but get there early for these cheap seats.

Lauren Ford

If you’re in the box seats don’t put anything on the velvet. Lest you get screamed at by an usher .

Diana Tourville

Make sure to arrive early to watch the pre-performance

Stacey Levine

Go see Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson ! It's an amazing show and worth it!!! The music is loud and rocking and it's like a boradway hardcore orgasm!

Michelle Gall

Amazing music ! Get here early for a chance to get on stage & buy a beer !!

Annette Shade

Don't leave the theater during intermission.. Bar is set up on stage and they serve drinks in sippy cups.. Genius!

Christopher

Come early for the real working bar while the cast warms up!

Pat Dwyer

Make sure to look at the decor of this grand old house.

TKTS Booths

ONCE is frequently listed at TKTS. Stop by and see if you can grab discount tickets up to 50% off day-of!

???? Abbie Slaman ????

Excellent show!

Concert Ticket Agency

Get a second helping of fine art ! Check out the twin murals inside, entitled "Lovers of Spain."

Jennifer McCabe Davis

Pay enough money for the good seats and you too can buy a beer on stage. Sadly we did not have those seats :-(

Josh

Once is an amazing show, but be warned- the ushers are the rudest I've ever seen.

Lindsey Cohen

3rd row seats for Once! Great theatre , great time!

DR G

Nice theatre . But $10 for a coke at the bar ? Are you kidding me!? Don't buy anything here - they should be ashamed of themselves.

Allison Kaminski

Saw "it's only a play"! Martin Short stole the show and was hilarious per usual!

Kristen

I cannot wait to see bandstand here its supposed to be phenomenal!

Richmond Escolar

Student rush tix 4 26.50 each sold when the box office opens. U can get 2 with 1 valid id. Great rear orchestra seats.
