Theater is ok, stage is just a stage, it's not transformed for the show much. I saw the show"dancing" and I really didn't like it to say the least.
A small but great theater to see musicals or larger scale plays at, centrally located in the Broadway theater district. Generally great sight lines. Check with the box office to find out how raked (steep) the stage is, or seats in the first several rows will give you an obstructed view.
Dancin was pure joy and entertainment. The cast is magnificent and oh so talented.
Theater nice clean 2 bathrooms for both genders. Seats were small, and the rows two close together . This is likely in older theaters. We sat in orchestra 2 row from back left, and everyone was complaining about the cold air blowing on our heads and necks from behind had to where hat and coats. The last 2 rows were up on the small platform, so viewing the show was better. Show was Dancin
Watched Dear Evan Hansen 2 days ago at the Music Box. I liked how the theatre wasn’t too large which gives you a sense of intimacy with the show.
I would agree that anywhere you sit in this theatre should be fine since the venue isn’t large. We stayed at the rear orchestra and we have nothing to complain about.
My only observation is we had to line up before the show for a food 15 to 20 minutes and since the show was full it was a long line. But maybe just expect that.

A very nice theatre with a good amount of leg room, even in the Mezzanine. A great, unobscured view from Row J of the Mezzanine. Even from this spot, we weren’t too far away. The bathrooms are a little small and therefore accumulate a very long line so I would recommend using it before or after the show.
a very intimate theater so regardless of your seating, you will still have a somewhat decent view. lovely set design (moving set parts, screens, live orchestra on the top corner). came here for the Dear Evan Hansen show and let me just warn you, BRING TISSUE PAPER (and refill during the intermission) cause you're going to need it!!!
Been here before but attended the Dear Evan Hansen Broadway Show tonight.
It is so great to be back in NYC for a Broadway show! The venue is clean and rather large. The staff is friendly and helpful!
Surprisingly enough, the orchestra seats are very comfortable with enough leg room and you don’t feel like you are a sardine sitting next to people.
The sound is perfect! I was seated in D6 and for this show, the seat was perfect! I could see the entire stage and what was going on!
On a side note regarding the show - great acting! A modern plot. It was good, but I’m not sure it deserved all the awards it received!
Covid-19 Protocol - Mask at all times in theater. Must show vaccination card.
