Lovely theatre, the space feels very intimate.

I took my mom to see color purple but was not expecting to enjoy it as much as her. It's an amazing play with incredibly talented cast

The seating is tight in the mezzanine. No leg room up there. Beautiful theater with a friendly staff. The Ferryman is an amazing play.

Great theater, good views from anywhere. Large restrooms in basement. Currently showing 'The Color Purple' - so good!
Stephanie SpannJanuary 8, 2016
There are no bad seats! Depends on where you would like to sit and enjoy the show. Not a huge venue. The show (The Color Purple) is awesome

DON'T buy drinks on stage at intermission. They rush you off as soon as you buy your $13 beer, $14 wine or $5 water. Have a drink on stage BEFORE the show. At least then you can enjoy the jam session.

This show is amazing, different from any other musical experience. Note that bathrooms are down a long flight of stairs, but the bar down there will be much easier to get a drink at!

Once The Musical took a gem of film and turned it into a low brow Chuck Lorre style comedy. If you like Two and a Half Men then thus might be for you. If you love the film Once, skip this.
Christina SquitieriDecember 28, 2018
Saw the Ferryman, which is beyond incredible. See it here!
Vivian LiMay 9, 2013
If you're here for Once go onto the stage before the show & during intermission, where they have a functioning bar set up & the actors start coming onstage.
Amanda ObergJuly 20, 2013
Once the Musical starring Arthur Darvill is incredible. The music is fantastic and it's a different kind of Broadway experience!
Sean MolinDecember 26, 2014
Intimate theater layout, easy to see and hear well from any seat!

The Color purple is a must see if you are in NYC
Mike HopkinsJanuary 25, 2015
Such a beautiful theater. Not a bad seat in the house!
Paul KardousJuly 10, 2017
Intimate theatre with good acoustics and easy to get in and out of.

Once, the musical is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Superb. Exquisite. Go see it--whatever the cost. You'll never be the same.
Polina BogachevaOctober 2, 2013
Once the musical is absolutely fantastic, don't judge it by the film, those two are as far apart as they could possibly be
Monica GoffJuly 13, 2013
You can buy drinks at the bar onstage before the show and during intermission! They also have (expensive) water if you're under 21.
Julia AnnJuly 31, 2013
come early to Once for pre-show performances! this theater also has big bathrooms-it's a broadway miracle!
Carlos GJuly 27, 2016
There is The color Purple. Best show on town and for Tony's
Michael HaaralaSeptember 23, 2016
Small theatre with bad bard and merchandise layout -- But, The Color Purple is fantastic!
Matthew HunterMay 31, 2013
Partial view from the Mezz is pretty good and worth the cheaper price. Don't get partial view Orchestra tickets
Time Out New YorkSeptember 13, 2010
Make sure you see Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson, a musical about the seventh U.S. President with an emo-rock score and an ironic, silly-smart approach. Opens Oct 13.
Courtenay O'ConnellAugust 11, 2013
Rush tickets available each day when box office opens, but get there early for these cheap seats.
Lauren FordJuly 3, 2018
If you’re in the box seats don’t put anything on the velvet. Lest you get screamed at by an usher.
Diana TourvilleSeptember 20, 2013
Make sure to arrive early to watch the pre-performance
Stacey LevineOctober 3, 2010
Go see Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson! It's an amazing show and worth it!!! The music is loud and rocking and it's like a boradway hardcore orgasm!
Michelle GallFebruary 20, 2013
Amazing music! Get here early for a chance to get on stage & buy a beer!!
Annette ShadeMarch 3, 2012
Don't leave the theater during intermission.. Bar is set up on stage and they serve drinks in sippy cups.. Genius!
ChristopherJune 30, 2013
Come early for the real working bar while the cast warms up!
Pat DwyerFebruary 14, 2019

Make sure to look at the decor of this grand old house.

ONCE is frequently listed at TKTS. Stop by and see if you can grab discount tickets up to 50% off day-of!

Excellent show!
Concert Ticket AgencyAugust 29, 2012
Get a second helping of fine art! Check out the twin murals inside, entitled "Lovers of Spain."
Jennifer McCabe DavisFebruary 8, 2014
Pay enough money for the good seats and you too can buy a beer on stage. Sadly we did not have those seats :-(
JoshApril 22, 2012
Once is an amazing show, but be warned- the ushers are the rudest I've ever seen.
Lindsey CohenMay 19, 2014
3rd row seats for Once! Great theatre, great time!
DR GMarch 1, 2015
Nice theatre. But $10 for a coke at the bar? Are you kidding me!? Don't buy anything here - they should be ashamed of themselves.
Allison KaminskiJanuary 31, 2015
Saw "it's only a play"! Martin Short stole the show and was hilarious per usual!
KristenFebruary 20, 2017
I cannot wait to see bandstand here its supposed to be phenomenal!
Richmond EscolarMay 12, 2010

bill m.January 7, 2014
friendliest ushers I've encountered on Broadway
Zx WangNovember 7, 2014
