A very nice theatre to watch different types of shows here and I can't wait to see more. One thing AI can't change too much.
Such a super fun venue and musical. Purely delightful. The theatre is not so big and I think any seat would be great.
What a great theater! I saw All Out through the lottery and won mezzanine tickets. I've never sat mezzanine and we were row D so I was excited to see. The view was fabulous. The mezzanine was definitely steep but you had a great view from no matter where you were. Just be mindful the seat depth and leg room is minimal. For a 5'6 and also pregnant it was doable for this shorter show but I think for someone taller and maybe a longer show, you may be stiff. They have more bathrooms on the second floor than the first just an FYI. It's a nice small theater!
Went to see Schmigadoon! at the Nederlander theater. The security line moved swiftly despite the staff giving conflicting instructions. The staff inside were very helpful with finding seats. The bathroom stalls are super tiny but very clean. The mezzanine was nice and seats were comfortable. Overall a good experience.
I saw All Out at the Nederlander Theater recently and found my seat in the back of the orchestra level seating to be very comfortable and the view of the stage was also great, even from the back of the orchestra. Truth be told, I wouldn't have sprung for expensive seats on my own, but it is nice to have a good view of the stage every so often.
Won broadway lottery and landed tickets to see this show. Would I go see it again, probably not but I do see the effort behind the writing of the play. It's almost like having the right sense of humor for a show like the Office.. quirky and some dry humor moments and sometimes a little all over the place. The band, however, gets five stars because wow, the vocals the music the energy honestly if the play didn't have the monologues, the music and concert itself would've been enough still maybe this wasn't the right match for me and it could be for someone else..
This theater has been around for a long time. It has two floors and is located near the port authority. The way it was built the bathroom lines usually are long and you have to wait on the staircase when crowded as the line turns and goes up them. There is a small concession stand in the middle of the two bathroom areas. Usually two people are working it at the same time. The staff that work here are nice and helpful. Sound and lighting and the theater experience is wonderful here.
The Venue: Typical vintage Broadway theatre with cramped hard seating, awkward layout. No bathrooms on the first floor - and just a few on the second/third - to accommodate 1,200+ patrons (when fully booked). I saw "Tommy" during a heat wave and the airflow/cooling was woefully adequate; in fact the elderly gentleman sitting next to me had breathing issues causing he and his wife to leave at intermission. A real shame, especially considering what orchestra level seats cost. The Performance: This latest revival of The Who's brilliant rock opera was a mixed bag at best. I love the album and saw the original production 30 yrs ago; IMO this chaotic, emotionally hollow version just couldn't compare. The acting and vocals were generally good, although some performers were better than others at singing on key. (Kudos to Alison Luff's performance of Mrs. Walker!). However, too much was occuring simultaneously on the small stage - e.g. one actor singing, another actor being dragged away by a group of dystopian masked robots and/or being thrown into the air for no apparent reason, with WWII videos playing on the back wall. And I was disappointed by the lack of a real pinball machine on the set this time - after all what were those "crazy flipper fingers" for anyway? Guess it's true that you can't go home again. Doubtful return to the tired Nederlander for any future productions either.
Saw the amazing play The Who's Tommy the Musical at this landmark playhouse Nederlander. First of all the play was just amazing with a cast of outstanding actors and actresses. The music was spectacular with a storyline that is truly profound. Guitarist -Composer -lyricist Pete Townshend is truly epic. This theater is absolutely incredible treasure to see a play, the sound is great. The building itself is just a beautiful piece of New York City.
Nice theater. The seats are comfortable and not too crowded. There are plenty of stalls in the bathroom but the layout is so odd. There are only five sinks and they are crammed in a tight space. You need to queue to get to the sink and then it's a narrow space to exit the restroom.
Saw the Broadway show "Shucked!" Here and although the show was very entertaining, this was not my favorite of Broadway theatres I've been in. The concession and bathroom lines are placed in the most awkward locations. The concession lines are constantly causing jams and people to have to move and the bathroom lines go down the stairs and around the building. Big tip: go before the show because intermission the lines are nuts. Kudos to the drink menu however - very clever from those in charge. Additionally, the singing and the band were great but the volume of the ensemble during big numbers were often drowned out the the band making it hard to understand the lyrics. Overall, an OK theatre but the show was 8/10.
The Nederlander Theater is a typical Broadway theater. There's stairs to the landing with the bar and restrooms. Then stairs to the mezzanine and stairs up and down to our seats up in the nosebleed section. Exiting is the same path going down. The legroom is non existent! What makes up for all this in my eyes is the view of the stage. It was unobstructed. I'd return for another show and I suggest you go see Shucked if you enjoy a funny musical.
It's a smaller theater, chairs we're pretty uncomfortable.. We came to see Shucked, still enjoyed the Broadway show though!
The Nederlander Theatre was very clean and a bit on the smaller side, with narrow seats, but they weren't uncomfortable. Our seats were located in the Mezzanine Section, Row G, stage left, and we had a great view of the stage, with no obstructions at all. The staff were pleasant and got everyone to their seats in a quick and orderly manner. This Broadway show was such a refreshing experience. It was light-hearted and so much fun to explore the town of Schmigadoon. Lively songs like "Corn Pudding" and sentimental tunes like "You Make Me Wanna Sing" definitely kept the audience engaged. Each cast member brought their A-game executing wonderful vocals and spectacular choreography. The staging and props were nicely done, and the seamless transitions between scenes were spot on. It was also exciting to see actress Jennifer Simard, who played Helen Sharp in Death Becomes Her, portraying Mildred Layton. Her voice is so recognizable; I was thrilled to see that she was a part of this production. She is such an awesome talent. There was so much to enjoy about this show I would absolutely go see it again. It was a fun night out that kept my husband and me laughing at every turn. I highly recommend it! read more

While I'm no Skinny-Minnie, I'm not exactly Two-Ton-Tessie. These seats are so narrow you kinda have to sit with your hands clasped in front of you. Legroom is expectedly tight, but I'm short and not as bothered as other theater-goers. (Talk about bothered .... I'll get to that later.) Nederlander, under a different name, was opened in 1921. If you're prone to vertigo, avoid the balcony. Walking down to our seats, I thought I'd fall if I didn't hold onto the rails. The balcony is steep, called "raked," -- a term new to me. We did however have a good view of the stage which I guess is what prompted the design. Okay, here we go: Theater Etiquette, directed to the two morons sitting behind me. Your seat is the only space you're entitled to. Your pocketbook straps do not belong on my seat. Crackly candy wrappers throughout the show ..... NO! And that raucous laughter. Out-of-control nervous laughter over everything, funny or not. My husband, who never complains said 'this has got to stop.' We missed half the dialogue. When I thought things couldn't get worse a cup hit my back, with some kind of liquid splashed over my new shirt. I'm not gonna tell you what I did next ..... The show "Shmigadoon" is clever and funny. I would have preferred a different venue and most assuredly a different seat. read more

Having watched so many Broadway shows in NYC and at home, this was actually my first time inside Nederlander Theatre. I've also walked by many times but never had a chance to watch something live as Theater District is fairly big. I knew I'd be in town, looked up what shows scheduled this one day. There were only a few musicals that caught my attention. I didn't wanna repeat any of the musicals that was on that night as l've already watched them before. But Shucked I thought would be interesting and since it was an award winning show, it was finally the perfect chance to check this off my bucket list I didn't purchase my ticket in advance, instead I went over right when the box office opened at 10am. Thought I'd first check out Rush Tickets if available. By the time I had head down after breakfast, there were only 3 rush tickets available, one pair and one single ticket. By the time I got there, all 3 rush tickets were sold! No problem, as you still have an opportunity to purchase best seats at best price from the box office. I had a price point in mind, didn't want to sit on the balcony or mezzanine, yet I wanted the best view on Orchestra for that evening. Nederlander Theatre is way bigger than I thought it would be. By far one the bigger theatre's in NYC compared to the small more cozy venue's in and around theater district. Restroom and concession stand were found upstairs. Security when entering just like any theatre with metal detectors and they do request to open up your bags upon entering. read more
I've seen a few shows here. The orchestra section is small but the mezzanine (2nd) level has a good amount of seating and still decent views. The restrooms are small and cause long lines. Staff is a bit too firm at giving orders which is irritating. The stage is small and the audio isn't sufficient; it's far too low. Seats are narrow but comfy. read more
Went to go see Shucked and it was amazingggg and so funny! The Nederlander Theatre was nice and very efficient. When we first arrived the line was sooooooooo long. Once doors were open they got through the line in about 5 minutes. Staff was friendly. My only note was the seats were pretty tight and the incline wasn't steep enough. There was a little girl behind us that had a tough time seeing. Look forward to coming back and seeing another show. read more
Glad to finally make it back to the theatre. The first time I've been to this theatre and the size is on the smaller side. The staff really make lines move efficiently to make sure the crowd keeps moving. The bathroom lines were the quickest I've seen. The seating is on the tighter side probably because the size of the theatre. The acoustics were very good during the performance from the actors to the live orchestra. It was an enjoyable experience and I wouldn't mind going back to see another musical or play in the future. read more
Show: 1.5 stars Actor, Jefferson Mays 5 stars The bathroom 5 stars Came to see A Christmas Carol. This is a one-man show. The show is the classic story narrated by the actor, Jefferson Mays. The actor acts out all the characters and changes his voice while narrating each different character. Not gonna lie, did not love the show. This is also spoken entirely in British English which I had trouble understanding alot of. The multiple character conversation is hard to follow since it is spoken by the same actor with just very subtle changes to voice/demeanor etc. With this said, Jefferson Mays did an amazing performance and I don't think there are many actors that can pull off this show format. In the midst of the show, I visited the women's bathroom and I was completely shocked at what I saw. It had like 25 stalls! ... Which is unheard of in any Broadway theatre or general Manhattan venue. The bathroom is a must visit! read more

Won Broadway Lottery: $50 per ticket for Mr. Saturday Night. Got lucky with great seats--orchestra, center of the theater--definitely worth it! What a surprising treat of a performance! Such a fun show, even for Gen Z audience like myself. You will laugh and cheer, so if you are looking for an uplifting experience, this is it. Actors are extremely talented and the music draws you in. I was worried that not knowing the history behind this show would be a problem, but it totally wasn't--the plot is independent of any previous stories, so you can relax and enjoy! The theater seats are small, so prepare to be squished and get warm and cozy with your seat neighbors. read more
Mr. Saturday night was good play I love how it had that vintage feel and it was about the career of an aging comedian. The only thing I didn't like was there was a little bit too much profanity used. Kind of overkill on the cursing. After the show Billy Crystal was gracious enough to sign everyone's playbill posters or tickets. He is a germ Afobe because of Covid so if you wanted anything signed you had to wear a mask and the first two rows also had to wear masks. read more
No complaints with this theater. Seats were not too cramped, views were good. I've been here before but it's been a while. This time I saw Shucked. Great performances! Really funny show/musical. I was on the fence about seeing it but really glad I did. read more
ENTRANCE - extremely organized and come down the line to check ID & COVID to speed entrance SEATING - the staff very helpful. But the seats are very tight. It's an older theater when folks were smaller. LOL. Not like me today. ANGLES - we were center orchestra so excellent view. Even the side orchestra is not as sharp an angle as most others. read more

Excellent theater and currently is home to Shucked! Which is a must see show for anyone going to nyc! Alex Newell will blow you away with their range and the storyline with the storytellers will keep you laughing all the way through. It's a progressive comedy that is high energy and well-written. read more
We had a great time watching A Christmas Carol at this theater. It was a one-man's show. How did Jefferson Mays memorize everything? He wrote it! That's why. Anyway, we had a mezzanine seat. Getting to the seat was pretty steep. We went up to the section entrance and down to the seats. The seats are small, and there's no legroom at all. My recent flights had more legroom. Today's movie theaters offer larger and more comfortable seats. Good thing the show was short with no intermission. The sound system was good, the stage decoration was amazing, and the performance was terrific! Regardless of the tiny seat, we enjoyed the show. read more

Opened in 1921, the theatre has a seating capacity of 1,232. Houdini preformed on this stage. Typical of older Broadway theatres, the restrooms tend to be tight with long lines. I sat in the next to last row (Row O) in the center mezzanine, which has an odd quirk as there is a row behind it only accessible by moving through the my row, which actually gave me leg room as there was no seat to my left so patrons could access that back row. My sightline of the stage from way up top was fine. read more
Lucky to see the great Billy Crystal in Mr. Saturday Night at the historic Nederlander Theater. Opened in 1921, as the National Theater seated 1200 people. This Broadway theater, located in Midtown NYC has been host to so many shows. Mr. Saturday Night was adapted from the 1992 film. This musical comedy made me laugh and towards the end made me cry. I waited outside afterwards and Billy Crystal signed my playbill and I took a few photos. read more
This is the worst theater I have been to in Broadway. The seats are so narrow it really doesn't have any leg room. My leg and feet hurts after the show. There's also no place for people to pass through, so there's a lot of disturbance during the show while people need to go to restroom. And also the seats are so close each row, if someone lean forward or if they are tall will block a lot of your view. So your bet will be to have a good decent attendee in front of you. I had a tall person kept moving around so it ruins the show for me. read more
I love the originality of this intimate theatre. It's not so small that you can't maneuver your way to the bathrooms or bars, in fact it's several levels with great views of the stage from any seat in the house. Helpful staff to show us to our seats and generous pours from the bartenders made our Pretty Woman night a fun and memorable one. read more
