Hand to God was not what you expect and more than you bargained for. It is amazing! It is funny, obscene, desperate, upsetting, and leaves you with a moral dilemma to ponder as you leave the theater .

Philip A. Fusciello

Boys in the Band. Box Office personnel are accomodating courteous & pleasant.

An Act of God is very funny and kind-hearted, mostly thanks to Sean Hayes' performance . And it's only 90 minutes, no intermissions . Any seats are fine, as it's a small theater .

Pat Dwyer

The Booth theater is one of my favorite. Just big enough for Broadway, just small enough to be intimate .

eric bornemann

There’s not a bad seat in the house as every one feels close to the stage . So much history here... so many possibilities.

Baturalp

Comfortable seats with generous leg room. Recently watched Kimberly Akimbo here!

Linda Antwi

Great show and not too big of a theatre , so it's an intimate feel. Buy wine and you get a souvenir travel mug!

Untapped Cities

After two decades of pioneering music , Bowie debuted on Broadway in the title role of The Elephant Man , playing at the Booth Theatre on 45th Street. The year was 1980. Read more

Tight seats, but Meteor Shower by Steve Martin starring Amy Schumer and Keegan Micheal Key was well worth the tight space.

IrmaZandl ZandlSlant

Saw Lin-Manuel Miranda’s new improv show. Good - really fun- but tkts way too expensive and they lock up your phone so you can’t take pics of theatre or stage (not during but before/after)

Kyle Fowler

Almost all of the seats would be excellent for any show. Very small lobby but plenty of space downstairs during intermissions .

Jason H.

Relatively simple, smaller venue for smaller productions. Lots of good viewing areas for shows, not the most comfortable of theaters though.

Leslie Greenbaum

The stage is good as well as the ushers andactors

Eva Wang

Cozy and comfortable . Classic design.

Julius Tarng

On less popular nights they move everyone to orchestra - even if you had good mezzanine seats

Chuck Thomas

Small and intimate

Yan P

This is a pretty small place. Not a bad seat in the house.

Eva Wang

Ambiance was comforting

Ty Smith

Hand to God will have you laughing the entire time.

DoubleDeuce

The concourse in the bottom for the bathrooms is nicely spacious for NYC.

The Corcoran Group

If you’re coming here on a cold or wet evening, make sure you’re suitable prepared to brave the elements as the lobby is practically non-existent.

Tara R.

See The Glass Menagerie now! Some of the most phenomenal acting I've ever seen.

Small theater . Good view even at the last row of mezzanine
