For three tickets with taxes, it was just over $300. We were told we'd find out which show on the day of (Saturday) at 11 am, but on Friday night, we got an email from the theatre saying they were excited to see us. Our "spin" landed us 3 tickets in the center of row F for Spamalot. The show was absolutely hysterical. Thanks to Broadway Roulette for making this seamless. We had a great time.

Broadway Roulette is a great way to see a random show and save money (usually) in the process. The…read moreprocess is easy. You choose if you want to see a play or musical or both. You get the option to cross off a few titles you do not want to see or maybe you have seen before. You can pay an additional fee if you would like to cross off more. For me, because I've seen so many shows, I went with that option. I still ended up getting a show I've seen before, but that's okay because it turned out to be an amazing experience seeing it on Broadway. I've always experienced the national tours. Once you have an account though and use it you won't get duplicate shows. So the next time I visit New York it's work a shot. The seats were decent enough but I'm semi skeptical because the price of the ticket almost comes out to what you would pay at the box office anyways so how much are you truly saving? There are different ways to have your experience, and you can upgrade if you prefer orchestra seats. The cool thing is the anticipation of not finding out what show you're going to see until the morning of. Overall I would do it again though.

I loved it. If you are in New York, this is one of the attractions that you must do. It is well worth the price. New York is known for the musical shows. Some of the popular ones include: The Lion King Moulin Rouge! The Musical Wicked The Phantom of the Opera (this is a classic) Chicago and etc. I got my ticket last min so this is not an activity that requires advance booking.

You're indoors, which already puts it miles ahead of the Times Square location, especially when it's freezing outside. The space feels calm and well organized, with plenty of room to stand without being crushed by a crowd. It's clean, bright, and has a welcoming atmosphere that makes waiting in line feel a lot less painful. There's even a piano in the lobby area that's occasionally played, which adds a nice touch while the line moves forward at a steady pace. The whole experience is smoother and more civilized than the Midtown location. If you want discounted Broadway tickets without the chaos, cold, or sensory overload of Times Square, this is absolutely the better choice.

TKTS Lincoln Center is great! The main perk of this location is that the booth and waiting area are…read moreindoor. Of course as the line gets longer, it extends outside the building. It moves slower than TKTS Times Square because there are fewer ticket windows open. In my opinion, it is worth going early if there is a specific show you want tickets for. And it is helpful to look at what was on the board the previous day, to get a sense of what shows may be available so that you know what to ask for.

The challenges, puzzles, and games really make you think--you definitely have to process the clues carefully! There are multiple levels to complete, and throughout the experience you're asked questions that determine what type of agent you are, which was a really cool touch. It was challenging, but in the best way. Now that I understand how everything works, I definitely want to go back and do it again to see if I can do even better! If you're looking for something interactive, different, and a lot of fun, I highly recommend checking this place out. We'll definitely be back!

We take a yearly trip to NYC, so he always signs up. This year, we scored and got tickets. We actually signed up for two days and got into both. Mon had the better guest lists (at least in our opinion) so we gave up the other tix. It's a process to get in, so nothing too surprising. The earlier you get there, the more of a chance you will sit closer. All in all, we were out by around 6:30pm. Tho they did add a game that was going to air on a another day with I believe the One Piece cast? A good experience if you are into talk shows.

(Click on my Substack for more Baumbach thoughts including my brief interaction with the auteur, as awkward as many of his finest scenes). You may have heard about the successful company that helped destroy movie theaters by pivoting to "content" meant to promote purchases of high-end TVs and nice couches. (Related, I went to Best Buy and didn't recognize anything. Is that a thermostat? A stereo? A smart garden hose?) This company was so successful, that after Knives Out was heralded as single-handedly reviving non-Marvel film, its sequel was withheld from the theaters it allegedly saved. (BTW, if you were planning to tell me to watch the amazing 53-part Quibi streaming series about The Golden Age Of Hollywood, don't bother). But after Netflix helped destroy theaters, it did a nice thing. It's one of those ironic moments like the purse-snatcher scene in Jay Kelly. It signed a lease that helped the Paris avoid the fate of the Ziegfeld and a million others, in a world where the AMC theaters that destroyed all the independents have been suffering themselves. So, while it was vile that Netflix thought Roma should be seen on TVs, it was nice of them to show it at the Paris, especially for the unusually vibrant sound. I saw Train Dreams Saturday. I suppose, like the kid in Squid and The Whale, I am a philistine. I wish I could praise its morose existentialism but I'm not quite on board. However, I did appreciate the majesty of the northwestern fires and falling trees in this venue. There was no assigned seating; not sure if this is just temporary, but if they keep that policy I might be obliged to overlook Netflix's evil and upgrade to 5 stars.

It was built by the French distributor Pathé as a showcase for the film industry and opened its doors at 4 West 58th Street on September 13, 1948. Located across the street from the iconic Plaza Hotel, north, and Bergdorf Goodman, south, it is Manhattan's only remaining single-screen cinema, and largest movie theater with 535 seats. The elegant theater, with its distinctive Arte Moderne style became a première cinema venue for the best films from around the world. Over time many hits such as: Zefirelli's 'Romeo and Juliet' 1968 (Italy), 'A Room With a View' 1985 by James Ivory (UK) , et le film 'Belle de Jour' 1967 (France) directed by Luis Buñuel, were introduced to the United States with an introductory theatrical run at our beloved Paris. Currently, the streaming platform, Netflix operates the cinema giving new life to the ultimate landmark of New York's multi-cultural movie theatre attendees. As Netflix's New York flagship theater, the Paris is the home to exclusive theatrical engagements, premières, special events, retrospectives, filmmaker & actors live appearances, while offering a wide range of unique screenings and noteworthy Q&A discussions. The Paris is truly New York's première movie palace for cinema lovers! Merci beaucoup. Enjoy!
