However, Genie was the star of the show not Aladdin and Jasmine. Genie was funny and elevated excitement to the show. There were two songs, A Million Miles Away and A Whole New World that were sang together by Aladdin and Jasmine together but both songs were not harmonious or impressive. The seats were very small and the ushers let people in when shows were in progress.

(I love that legend Andre De Shields smiled and made eye contact with me.) Yet another Shubert property, Broadhurst -- named after playwright George Broadhurst -- was built in 1917. The little I saw of the facility wasn't as impressive as other theaters. There's a steep stairway into the basement where the restrooms are. Not adequate for all the theater-goers, though I believe there's a small bathroom on the main floor for those with mobility issues. Staff distributed fans to everyone waiting to enter, which was very cool when used for applause. The "Jellicle Ball" is lively and fun, with spectacular dancing, singing, costumes and makeup. Though I had no interest in the original production of "Cats," my interest in this was piqued when featured on CBS's "Sunday Morning." BTW, if you're eligible to join TDF you might want to look into it to reap deep discounts. If you're visiting from out-of-town, Sardi's, a Broadway institution is directly across the street. Nothing like the Broadway experience!

Needless to say we did not make it for curtain call. However, through Telecharge, we were able to get our tickets reissued via the "no scan" policy. Thankfully on Wednesday, 6/11/25 we made it. The "parking Gods" were on our side because we lucked up on parking and had ample time to stop for a bite to eat. The Broadhurst Theatre is a Broadway theater one of many in the Theater District of Midtown Manhattan. Opened in 1917, the theater has 1,218 seats across two levels and both the facade and the auditorium interior are New York City landmarks. I have seen multiple musicals/plays at this theatre the last in Sept 2023 - The Neil Diamond Musical: A Beautiful Noise (courtesy of Yelp). View from seats (orchestra and front row balcony) was great. With the typical tight seats and minimum leg room, I always find the tight seating perplexing, yes people are generally larger in size now than in the 1800's and even early 1900's. However, at that time the arts were exclusively for the elite and wealthy. Historically speaking the women wore dresses with an abundance of layers and excess fabric. Not to mention huge petticoats under their skirts. How did they sit??? Nonetheless, I digress. Now for the show... Betty Boop is a cartoon character, whom originally appeared in the Talkartoon and Betty Boop film series, which were produced by Fleischer Studios and released by Paramount Pictures between 1930 and 1939. Betty Boop based on and inspired by a Black jazz singer named Esther Jones, also known as Baby Esther. Jones's unique "boop-oop-a-doop" style and stage presence at Harlem's Cotton Club were the primary influences for the character's signature vocalizations and overall persona. While Helen Kane, a white singer, who also claimed inspiration from Jones and even sued the studio stating that Betty Boop was modeled after her. The musical goes between the fictional cartoon world of the 1930's and present day. Addressing topics of acceptance, belief in one's self & creative abilities and love. An enjoyable show with great musical numbers that are very kid/family friendly. Just A Note: -Final performance was 7/13/2025 -"No Scan"policy - if you have tickets to a show that you miss. As long as the tickets were never scanned you can contact the box office for tickets on a future date. Provided that there are available seats.

I particularly LOVE that patrons don't need to cue up on the street outside in all weathers before entry (as is the case with older Broadway theaters), since there's plenty of room inside to wait in their spacious cafe (no purchase required). I saw "An American Daughter" on my most recent visit. Based on certain reviews I was afraid that the play might be a dreary musty feminist rant, but it wasn't. Centered around an upper class woman and her media struggles during an unsuccesful run for Surgeon General, I found the play relevant to our times and fairly humorous. Maybe not my favorite production but certainly worth seeing. Theatre Factoids: Ticket prices are reasonable, and multi-play packages lower the cost even more. Convenient to the M42 and other NYC bus lines as well as various subways.

The theater complex actually has more than one theater in it, but the staff were very friendly and directed us to the correct theater for our performance. Designed by Frank Gehry Architects, the theater space (including the public lobby (which has a cafe/bar and a little shop) is really cool. We grabbed a couple of drinks (created for the performance) on the way into our theater, which were great (no pre-mixed drinks here). Being an off-Broadway theater, the theater space was small and intimate but very comfortable (not a bad seat in the house, since the incline is significant). Then - the production? - great, too. Great stage design (they really made the most out of a small space), great play, great acting, lots of laughs. Overall, it was a great visit, and I'm looking forward to a return visit in the future.

Whoops! I previously said the building houses three theaters. Wrong! Five!…read more Like last time, my experience was five stars. Theatre 4 duplicates my original assessment: comfortable seats, decent leg room, nice stage, good sets, and air conditioning! Theatre 4 is located in the basement, as are two rooms of bathroom stalls. (An elderly man wandered into what I thought was the ladies' room, so maybe the bathrooms are unisex. I personally could care less.) If you arrive early, you might want to wait in the lobby. Not much seating in the basement. The production I saw was nothing short of stellar: "The People Versus Lenny Bruce." If like me, you value First Amendment rights of free speech (kind of timely with the current -- ahem -- administration) you'll find the show impactful. It closes today in Manhattan, but if local troupes stage a production in your area, see it!

Thanks to the modernity, the seats are more spacious and comfortable. You will have an opportunity to enjoy the show in comfort and even stretch out your legs! That Parenting Musical was unexpectedly delightful. Highly recommend if you're looking to laugh your stress away. Two hours an intermission. Even if you don't have kids you will enjoy the wit and lightness of this production. Don't get seats in the first five rows--your neck will hurt from straining to look up on stage. We moved to the fourth row from the back and that gave our necks much needed reprieve. A bar is available for those looking to unwind with some alcoholic libations.

The theater is small and intimate but very comfortable. The bathrooms and a bar can be found downstairs and there wasn't a wait for either during our matinee. The building is beautiful, and its location in Chelsea is convenient for a pre-theater meal! Finally - the production. We saw Indian Princesses, and I really enjoyed the play. They made so much of the set, and the acting was great. It was one of the best plays I've seen in while. I'm signed up for emails from the theater so I don't miss their next great production.
