    The stage

    I love this small intimate theater! Every seat is good! It's not so crowded and the bathroom lines move quickly. lol

    My time at this theatre was one of the most seemless Broadway experiences I've ever had! All of the staff were so kind and the show's production was spectacular. So happy I got to see Maybe Happy Ending here!! Show started on time. Sound quality was great! Optimal lighting and comfortable seating! I definitely recommend to Broadway enjoyers and newbies alike. My seat: Orchestra Right Row M (great view!!!!)

    Gorgeous Broadway Theatre in impecable condition. Easy entry and exit. Wonderful time seeing Maybe Happy Ending. Perfect layout for great views of the show. We had a wonderful time seeing a play at this theatre!

    I purchased balcony seats expecting to feel very far from the stage but the theater was small enough that this wasn't the case, and I ended up having quite an amazing view of the stage. This was great because the set design for Maybe Happy Ending really took this play from being something I would've found entertaining but ultimately forgettable to something truly memorable, and I'm glad I had a great view to take it all in from. Parts of the set were motorized so they would come in and out of the main frame, which I thought was such a creative way to have different settings at once. Whenever characters had flashbacks, there would be a huge hologram that was projected in the area around the main stage, and that, paired with the music just had the audience feeling completely enveloped in the scenes, amplifying every character's emotions. The audience was great, laughing and clapping at the right moments and staying completely silent at others. This is so important with live theater because you want to hear and sense all the subtle breaths and utterances of the characters. I could see that everyone was just as delighted at me during the happy scenes and utterly devastated during the sad ones. Experiencing these feelings collectively is a big part of the fun of seeing a Broadway show. The theater itself, other than being cozy, is gilded and beautiful. I read that it opened in 1907 but has had several renovations over the years. I appreciate that they seem to have preserved the original molding, so you can also feel connected to all who have seen shows here over the last century, collectively holding their breath and sighing with relief at the same moments, just as I experienced at the show I saw here.

    A brief and lovely show. The storyline itself isn't the most original, but I appreciated the nuanced and delicate portrayal of the characters' emotions. I'd recommend this show to locals and those staying in the city for a few months. If you're just taking a short trip to NYC, I think the classics are a better bet.

    I love how intimate this theatre is! We sat on Row G of the mezzanine for Maybe Happy Ending and had a perfect view! The staff are all super friendly and the theatre is easy to navigate!

    Went to see a Broadway play--such a cute AI love story. The theater itself is really nice with great surround sound, and the production and set design were incredible. Scenes shifted seamlessly right in front of me without me even noticing how they did it. My only issue was the seating. The slope isn't very steep, so I had to keep adjusting to see over the person in front of me. There are plenty of restrooms on each floor, which definitely helps during those short intermissions. Overall, I was comfortable and really enjoyed the show. I'd come back for another play--just hoping for a clear view next time.

    I went to see Maybe Happy Ending at the Belasco Theatre (111 W 44th St, New York, NY 10036) and had such a wonderful time. It's a beautiful, tender story about robots, love, and companionship that feels surprisingly real. The broadway show does an incredible job of reflecting how when humans are lacking connection we often turn to technology, routines, and convenience to fill that emotional gap. I went with a friend and while we were seated in the upper level, I honestly wish we had been downstairs in the orchestra section. Our view wasn't the best, and I felt like we may have missed some visual moments because we couldn't see the stage fully. That said the story and performances were still very moving and memorable. Overall, it's a thoughtful, emotional broadway show that stays with you long after you leave the theater it's gentle, bittersweet, and very human. 10/10 recommendation

    Came here to watch Maybe Happy Ending and had the absolute best time! Going through security and getting checked in was a breeze. The ushers were very professional and easily directed us to our seats. I would say the theater is more on the smaller size. But it makes for a cozy intimate feel! The interior is actually stunning. There are so many embellishments on the railings and murals on the walls it really feels like stepping into another time. The musical itself was wonderful. Maybe Happy Ending has a beautiful story. The acting and songs really pull you in. But there's also plenty of light comedic moments. Highly recommend! Afterwards we waited by the stage doors to see if we could catch of glimpse of some of the cast. A few did come out and say hi and sign some stuff. The experience was very organized and very calm. Props to the staff who help manage that part of the show!

    I saw "Maybe Happy Ending" last week at this theater and had a terrific experience. My friend and I sat in the last row of the orchestra section, row P. This was perfect for us as my friend and I are both on the taller side and we didn't have to worry about blocking the views of patrons behind us. This theater opened in 1907 and was created by David Belasco with a living room in mind. It indeed felt intimate and I loved feeling so close to the musical and actors on stage. I would not hesitate to see a show here again.

    As an Angeleno, this theatre really gave me the same vibes as The Pantages Theatre. That is to say an old timey picture palace that was converted into a live theatre venue. The interior design is absolutely stunning. It truly feels like it is there to show how beautiful and important live theatre is. I also really appreciated the box seats they had off to the side. It just gives a timeless feeling to the whole place. You walk into the theatre and you are just transported back to a time when going to the theatre was a huge event. The theatre is short/narrow, but tall allowing a lot of guests to come in. I will say, however, that we were up near the top and while we could see the entire stage area, the particular show we saw ('Maybe Happy Ending') had some times when the actors move forward to almost a sub stage area that was cut off by railing. So just keep that in mind. The seats are also very close to each other so if you are tall like me (6 ft) you might find yourself cramped in a bit & struggling to either stay comfortable or help adjust to let people walk by your seat. Beyond that, however, we had an absolutely fantastic visit to this theatre. We got in quickly, were able to get concessions fast, and after the show the merch line was manned by just one employee who did a fantastic job of keeping the line going, even when guests weren't sure what they wanted to buy. I would highly recommend seeing a show at the Belasco. However, I would maybe say spring for the lower/closer seats to ensure you are able to see all of the action no matter where on the stage it takes place.

    The whole experience and the organized manner was amazing for tonight!!! The interior design is beautiful with a sense of history attached and I really enjoyed the seats we had. I don't think there was a bad seat in the whole theater whatsoever. A great perspective view by all. Now the show on the other hand blew me away!!!! Maybe A Happy Ending was heartfelt and transitioned to real emotions from a human perspective. I cried at least three times and the smart interactive staging was very NOW. That alone should get a separate award in my book. Yes, Yes, and MORE YES!!! #Magical#HeartWarming#Innovative #Emmotional Must see

    Beautiful theater and pretty small. Security went smoothly. Seats are cramped like other broadway theaters. Would absolutely recommend maybe happy ending. Such a unique broadway show and really made me feel emotional.

    For Girl from North Country I would like to know if the last row of center mezzanine is worth it? Thinking about that or Row D or E in center mezz TY

    I think view would be great. I sat ROW G in Center Mezzanine. Show is mixed bag. Great music but relates very little to the story which is underwritten.

    What’s the deal with the boxes? I can’t find them on a seat map of the theater. Looking at the stage, is Box A on the right side of the theater? What about Box E? Is it an Upper Box? I called Telecharge and they don’t seem to know either.

    Hello Jen: I'd be happy to help you.… 

    For Network, Orchestra Left Row P Seats 15,17, is the left side of the play going to be difficult to see?

    You may miss what happens in the back of the stage makeup room behind the control booth. Not a lot happens there. There are monitors everywhere in the theater and the big screen on stage will help with that. Otherwise you will be fine.

    Is the theater "looped" so I can use my own enabled hearing aids? Don J.

    I can write many reasons to see Hamilton, the Broadway musical…read more 1. The lyrics resonates depth with meaning. 2. The music is a blend that draws heavily of hip-hop, rap, R&B, soul, pop, and traditional Broadway show tunes. Modernized to 2015 era. Theatre patrons will not fall asleep. Theatre patrons will not be bored. Your ticket price paid is worth the theatrical experience. 3. It is based on the biography Alexander Hamilton, one of the Founding Fathers of the United States who was an instrumental supporter of the U.S. Constitution who fought alongside President George Washington in the Revolutionary War. His work laid the foundation of America whose face is worthy to be depicted on the U.S. $10.00 bill. 4. It depicts history of Hamilton's journey beginning as a Caribbean immigrant rising to America's first Secretary of the Treasury. It is deeply rooted in New York City history. It depicts American history of the opposition fight for independence and creation Independence of United States of America. He is buried in Trinity Church, Financial District, Lower Manhattan, NYC. It also narrates Aaron Burr's rivalry and jealously Hamilton's strong ambition, brilliance, and determination to rise. "Hamilton wrote the other 51!" Running time: about 2 hours and 45 minutes including a 15 minute intermission. I went to the room where it happens. I write this review like I was running out of time. Yesterday is a memory. Today is an opportunity. Tomorrow is not promised. Non-stop. Keep writing! I tell my story of my experience. It was exciting, lively and upbeat which does takes you back in time of Revolutionary America in 18th century period clothing with modern language and modern music. Ticket prices are highly extortionate! Tickets starts $127.00 to $155.00 for upper balcony or standard face-value seats. My rear orchestra center ticket was an astonishing extortionate $228.00! Hamilton, the Broadway musical makes use of the Richard Rodgers Theatre's double-nested rotating stage (turntables) prominently to create a dynamic, continuous movement and cinematic flow. I wish I saw the 2015 original cast Alexander Hamilton (Lin-Manuel Miranda) and Aaron Burr (Leslie Odom Jr.). Wait for it. Forward, eleven (11) years later I am now seeing it in 2026. I now have another Playbill and Broadway show ticket to add to my growing Playbill collection. Casting is non-white actors as the Founding Fathers of the United States and other historical figures for inclusion and equality. As per Lin-Manuel Miranda, songwriter, actor, and producer who described Hamilton: "America then, as told by America now." There is no traditional stage curtain for this Broadway show, but it did start and end on time - on point. There are 34 musical numbers total (17 musical numbers in each Act). The narrative is almost entirely sung and rapped through, thus, the numbers flow directly into each other without the traditional pause to segue in-between numbers. There is very little dialogue for spoken word as I would like a mix. There are occasional expletive explicit laden lyrical lines/ verses depicting strong explicit language "goddamnit." This includes uncensored F-word during the indiscretion of Hamilton's affair. "Cabinet Battle #1" & "Cabinet Battle #2" feature insults and harsher colloquial terms as "pain in the ass" and "shit." There are other numbers where expletive explicit laden lyrical embedded are "bastard" and "whore." Surely, my teddy bears speak more eloquently than thee! The costumes replicate 18th century Revolutionary era including U.S. founding fathers in white linen or lace cravats. My predilection for Hamilton musical numbers are: Satisfied Wait For It That Would Be Enough Yorktown (The World Turned Upside Down) Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story Live with intention. My passions and interests entice me to pursue more to look around. "When everyone who loves me has died" this I can absolutely relate. "Death does not discriminate. It takes and it takes and it takes. I am the one thing in life I can control. I am an original." These versus resonate depth for meaning. Rise Up!

I absolutely refused to see a double-day / two-part play show format 5+ hours to be left hanging and return another day/time as it was originally produced, but this has changed which is my reason to see it years later in 2026. This Broadway play does not play John Williams' film score "Hedwig's Theme" as I had desirable hoped. I do believe in magic. I saw Tom Felton perform his originated role as Draco Malfoy from the film franchise. As per "New York Theatre Guide" Tom Felton reprise his role as Draco Malfoy now through January 3, 2027! Run time: 2 hours and 55 minutes, with one intermission. One word: WOW! The narrative was at first somewhat difficult to follow especially the Time-Turner Effect scenes of what exactly did Albus Potter and Scorpius Malfoy changed or prevent from occurring? The set design, staging for quickly moving set, props by swirling long robes without revealing stage hands' faces, costumes are great and resonantly brought the viewer into J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter world as an adult nineteen (19) years after J.K. Rowling's final novel, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" of Harry, Ron and Hermione. The special effects including character swap Polyjuice Potion, including Dementors menacing floating near the audience and aerialist stunts in duels were amazing. I particularly like the special effects from Time-Turner for use of projection mapping high-powered projectors cast warping, liquid-like visual distortions; acoustic design low-frequency sound waves and the entire set appear to bend, stretch, and ripple effect like a disturbed puddle reverberating into the auditorium. The clocks placed in the corners of the stage spun rapidly. WOW. Voldemort's half-daughter leaves "invisible" scribbles on a bookshelf to be decoded by a black light above the audience visible on the ceiling and balcony facade projected throughout the auditorium walls in an eerie shade of green which garnered a lot of oohs from the audience including myself. Hot air emitting from Scorpius' ears after he eats candy is very amusingly humorous. The narrative does include and bring back old characters as the cruel villain, apathetic Dolores Umbridge and the wailing angst Moaning Myrtle and Cedric Diggory. Moaning Myrtle's costume was not true to the book as her hair is not in pigtails and she is not wearing the Hogwarts uniform. Draco Malfoy's iconic film line: "Scared, Potter?" and Harry Potter's response "you wish" are spoken resonate an echo in this Broadway play from the film.

If you want to get these stand-by tickets I'd recommend arriving as close to 8am as you can, because every ticket is numbered and they can only fit so many people into the studio (they will always try to fill it). If I recall correctly the tickets said to come back to 30 rock at 3:15 but note - if you arrive a bit later, say 3:30, it won't effect your chances of getting in - the most you can do to increase your chances to see a show that day by walking in is to get there at 8am when they first start giving out the numbered stand-by tickets. Also, while they say you cant bring in bags, I had a smaller sized north face backpack and my friend had a large plastic bag and a small purse. If your number gets you in to see the show that day, you will pass through security like at an airport. Everything is extremely orderly and organized, the only stressful part is 'am I going to get in to see the show or did I just spend an hour and a half of my day for nothing.' My friend and I just got in under the wire, with the guy behind us being the very last person to stand-by for this day's show (there were about 56 stand-by visitors accepted that day). You will have an opportunity to use a bathroom before you sit for the filming, so don't be concerned about that. If you're a fan of TV or of Fallon you might prepare a question or two to ask him, he took a number of questions from the audience. The funniest one was 'are you going to use that entire bit you just did' because Jimmy and Drew Brees spitting pumpkin seeds went on far, far, FAR too long, about 3? minutes, which was about 2:45 longer than it needed to be. Jimmy was quick with the 'no, that's going to be edited down.'

    Come From Away is one of the best shows I've seen on Broadway…read more The show is amazing! 90 minutes of pure entertainment. It's a musical about the 911 flights that had to land in Newfoundland. It hits all the emotions in a short time. I found myself laughing, falling in love with the characters and even felt a tear here and there. There's no intermission, so before you know it the shows over. I paid full price through American Express but when my husband came to join me a week later, we were able to get tickets at the TKS booth in Times Square for $75 a piece ( which was more than half off what I paid the first time!) and for both shows I was able to sit center orchestra 6 rows back. Totally enjoyable both times. The music was great and the actors were even better. I highly recommend this show. If you're in NYC between 1/18 - 2/13/22 check out NYC Broadway Week -they're offering 2 for 1 tickets on some great shows and this is one of them.

    So after the 9/11 Attack the US Airspace was immediately closed. And airplanes already in the air…read morewere instructed to land at the nearest airports. About 38 planes and a total of 6,000 passengers from all over the world landed in a small airport called Gander, Newfoundland in Canada. Gander is this tiny town in Canada so the locals there had to quickly figure out how to accommodate all these people. Come From Away tells such a warm - hearted and inspiring story about how the folks in Gander welcomed these travelers into their homes for about 4 days. It's such an emotional yet powerful play about humans helping humans from all over the world . Our lives gets interrupted, but at some point we must continue living no matter how tough things get. Highly recommend going to see this show when in NYC if you are a history kinda person. Had a great time blogging on Friday, January 14, 2022 at 7PM EST. I'd sat in Row J - Seat 116. FYI, no matter where you sit in the theater you'll have an incredible view of the stage. This play was about 100 minutes with no intermission.
