Hamilton is absolutely incredible even from the last row in the house. Unmissable.

Kristen

The bathroom situation here is absolutely ridiculous. One women's bathroom for the entire theatre . Make sure to go before you come to the show!

Brita Outzen

Know what a coach class airline seat feels like? The seats here feel exactly the same way. Good luck If you’re tall. Only one set of men’s and women’s bathrooms in the basement , so go before the show!

Cat Hicks

The theater itself has an amazing and long history but logistically getting a 1300 seat house in and out and to the restrooms can be challenging, especially when you're walking on crutches like I was

Yan P

The front mezz is a great place to sit if you can't get orchestra seats . If you're in the orchestra above row J, the incline is pretty steep, so you can see well .

Yani Iman

If/Then is a must-see for anyone, especially for young adults just moving to a big city , getting a new job, going into new relationships. It's about the "what ifs" and "what might have beens".

Anna Browne

A nice sized theater where every seat has a decent view of the stage. Front row involved a bit of neck craning, but I'll take a little discomfort in exchange for some Hamilton :).

HAMILTON-Phenomenally excellent energizing brilliant storytelling, singing, rapping, lighting, and street smart choreographic excitement wrapped around a moving historical tale of allegorical magic!

Piccy Loke

small theatre and can get a bit cramped during peak arrivals and departures. get the box seats for the personal space and view bird’s eye view of entire theatre .

Netto Neves

If you cut your legs you might feel comfortable at this thester. Other than that, "if/then" is a great play. Idina Manzel sings beautifully in a brilliant history of odds and "what ifs".

Cindy Ol

Great show but seating a bit tight in an older theater . But no one goes to Broadway for that / the show was phenomenal!

Stefan White

To get ahead in intermission bathroom lines , “Women”: go to Exit 5 Mid-Theater, “Men”: Exit 7 Mid-Theater. The lines get directed through the wings and back into the theater through those exits,

Matt Roberts

Be prepared for a theatre overwhelmed by Hamilton success that it can't quite fit everyone in the lobby. Long bathroom , bar and merch queues

Laura Bedrossian

Romeo & Juliet w/Orlando Bloom = fantastic. A superb cast and just a great take/direction. Also, the Pirates of the Caribbean films clearly helped someone prepare for the knife fighting as Romeo...

Joe Sumner

Saw Hamilton here and it was fantastic. The seats are very small and there is virtually no leg room between the seats. Overall good experience, however.

Jim Nothnagel

A new, genuine, beautiful musical . It wouldn't matter if Idina Menzel , Anthony Rapp and LaChanze were in it, the show would be really good. But with them it's fantastic.

IrmaZandl ZandlSlant

Hamilton in previews. Opening August 6. Great show - fab music , dialogue, choreography and costumes BUT 30 mins too long.

Joseph Legasto

Even at the nose bleed section, the viewing experience was fantastic. I couldn't expect anything more except that the men's restrooms were situated all the way at the bottom.

Robyn Grossberg

Agree w/other 4sq post that orchestra seats are more like mezzanine, which would be fine except for the partially obstructed view of the main stage, preventing us from seeing char. on elevated set

Christy Spurlock

Theatre is beautiful & a great place to catch a Broadway show! Loved it!

M

Ladies, make sure if you're in the orchestra, you walk to the left to head to the bathrooms . Kind of a nightmare at intermission.

Betsy Baxter

Due to it being one of the oldest and smallest Broadway theaters , there really is no bad seat. Mezzanine seating is the best here.

Marc Mendelson

It had a slightly complex plot, yet I truly enjoyed it. Amazed by the performances and the true talent on that stage.

Mads Marz

Gorgeous venue ! Only one bathroom so be sure to go before or HOLD IT!

TKTS Booths

If/Then started performances at the Richard Rodgers. Always check if we have it on the board at TKTS before heading to the box office . We're only a block away!

Alison Port

Alexander hamilton on Broadway! It's fantastic. Plus, you can easily wait for autographs right near the main entrance.

Eli Sherer

Steep incline means great views everywhere.

David Milberg

Great theater , maybe needs some renovations and new seats, but that won't happen for a long time because of Hamilton .

Josh Ferry

This is far and away the greatest show I've ever seen. 5stars for Hamilton !

Amanda Vinci

Hamilton is the best performance of anything, ever

Tim Young

The theatre is very musty -- I started sneezing half way through the show. The lack of bathroom facilities is a pain, but I have to admit they have Disney-esque solutions to ensure orderly flow.

Nicole H

One of my least favorite theatres . The raised orchestra section makes you feel like you're in the mezzanine

Ken Schafer

The lobby is claustrophobic but the theatre itself is lovely.

The Style Gourmande

Very different, it has a modern take to it. Orlando Bloom was great, a few great shakespearean actors...

Cynthia Lin

A beautifully maintained theater that's presidential and perfect for Hamilton

Tracy Krupitzer

Mezz seats are cramped but the view is great, even from the sides.

Jackie Hague

Hamilton ! Phenomenal. Beautiful stadium style seating in this theater .

Bokyung Park

The seats in the theatre seem to need improvement. It’s super cramped and small. I couldn‘t even move my feet throughout the performance .

Kendal Cockrel

Theatre is crazy cramped but Hamilton was amazing.

Dikran Nernekian

Wonderful Hamilton performance in the most uncomfortable seats ever. No space for your knees, feet, elbows.

Arlene Murphy

Theater is run down but showing best musical I've seen in a while. Not to be missed "Hamilton "

Eneida Selina Santos

My mom is taking me to see this play after all what I went through with my breast cancer survey. Good to go out and see something different

James Stolz

Hamilton was more than I'd hoped for. So good!!

Maria Cadavid

Excellent love it love the Theatre .

Denise H

Pay attention to the bathroom locations - there's a serious scrum during intermission when trying to get across the lobby to them.

Betsy Baxter

Extremely tight seats so be prepared to get to know your neighbor and no real leg room. Go to the bathroom before the show or after.

Calvin Multanen

Seats are a bit small but I saw Hamilton so everything else is irrelevant. Go see Hamilton .

Andy Sorrentino

Nice theater but shittiest seats ever

Alper Besen

It is kind of Hollywood version of a musical but amazing casting and set design!
