Rachel ClarkMarch 5, 2016Hamilton is absolutely incredible even from the last row in the house. Unmissable.

KristenJuly 16, 2014The bathroom situation here is absolutely ridiculous. One women's bathroom for the entire theatre. Make sure to go before you come to the show!
Brita OutzenDecember 27, 2018Know what a coach class airline seat feels like? The seats here feel exactly the same way. Good luck If you’re tall. Only one set of men’s and women’s bathrooms in the basement, so go before the show!
Cat HicksNovember 7, 2015The theater itself has an amazing and long history but logistically getting a 1300 seat house in and out and to the restrooms can be challenging, especially when you're walking on crutches like I was
Yan PAugust 11, 2017The front mezz is a great place to sit if you can't get orchestra seats. If you're in the orchestra above row J, the incline is pretty steep, so you can see well.
Piccy Loke1 week agosmall theatre and can get a bit cramped during peak arrivals and departures. get the box seats for the personal space and view bird’s eye view of entire theatre.
Matt RobertsJuly 2, 2016Be prepared for a theatre overwhelmed by Hamilton success that it can't quite fit everyone in the lobby. Long bathroom, bar and merch queues
Joe SumnerApril 5, 2019Saw Hamilton here and it was fantastic. The seats are very small and there is virtually no leg room between the seats. Overall good experience, however.
Anna BrowneDecember 13, 2016A nice sized theater where every seat has a decent view of the stage. Front row involved a bit of neck craning, but I'll take a little discomfort in exchange for some Hamilton :).
Jim NothnagelApril 20, 2014A new, genuine, beautiful musical. It wouldn't matter if Idina Menzel, Anthony Rapp and LaChanze were in it, the show would be really good. But with them it's fantastic.- ᴡ YaffeSeptember 19, 2015HAMILTON-Phenomenally excellent energizing brilliant storytelling, singing, rapping, lighting, and street smart choreographic excitement wrapped around a moving historical tale of allegorical magic!
Yani ImanSeptember 11, 2014If/Then is a must-see for anyone, especially for young adults just moving to a big city, getting a new job, going into new relationships. It's about the "what ifs" and "what might have beens".
Cindy OlApril 20, 2018Great show but seating a bit tight in an older theater. But no one goes to Broadway for that / the show was phenomenal!
Stefan WhiteApril 23, 2022To get ahead in intermission bathroom lines, “Women”: go to Exit 5 Mid-Theater, “Men”: Exit 7 Mid-Theater. The lines get directed through the wings and back into the theater through those exits,
Netto NevesMarch 20, 2015If you cut your legs you might feel comfortable at this thester. Other than that, "if/then" is a great play. Idina Manzel sings beautifully in a brilliant history of odds and "what ifs".
Betsy BaxterJanuary 13, 2019Due to it being one of the oldest and smallest Broadway theaters, there really is no bad seat. Mezzanine seating is the best here.
Joseph LegastoJune 8, 2018Even at the nose bleed section, the viewing experience was fantastic. I couldn't expect anything more except that the men's restrooms were situated all the way at the bottom.
Tim YoungMay 12, 2017The theatre is very musty -- I started sneezing half way through the show. The lack of bathroom facilities is a pain, but I have to admit they have Disney-esque solutions to ensure orderly flow.
Robyn GrossbergDecember 28, 2015Agree w/other 4sq post that orchestra seats are more like mezzanine, which would be fine except for the partially obstructed view of the main stage, preventing us from seeing char. on elevated set
- David MilbergAugust 25, 2016Great theater, maybe needs some renovations and new seats, but that won't happen for a long time because of Hamilton.
Laura BedrossianSeptember 14, 2013Romeo & Juliet w/Orlando Bloom = fantastic. A superb cast and just a great take/direction. Also, the Pirates of the Caribbean films clearly helped someone prepare for the knife fighting as Romeo...
Bokyung ParkFebruary 2The seats in the theatre seem to need improvement. It’s super cramped and small. I couldn‘t even move my feet throughout the performance.
MJune 20, 2016Ladies, make sure if you're in the orchestra, you walk to the left to head to the bathrooms. Kind of a nightmare at intermission.
Staff PicksDecember 6, 2016Richard Rodgers Theatre was one of the more wished for places throughout 2015’s I Want Somewhere holiday campaign. Where’s your somewhere? Enter to win a bucket list experience. Read more
Nicole HSeptember 11, 2013One of my least favorite theatres. The raised orchestra section makes you feel like you're in the mezzanine
The Style GourmandeOctober 6, 2013Very different, it has a modern take to it. Orlando Bloom was great, a few great shakespearean actors...
IrmaZandl ZandlSlantJuly 21, 2015Hamilton in previews. Opening August 6. Great show - fab music, dialogue, choreography and costumes BUT 30 mins too long.
Christy SpurlockJuly 15, 2016Theatre is beautiful & a great place to catch a Broadway show! Loved it!
Alexander hamilton on Broadway! It's fantastic. Plus, you can easily wait for autographs right near the main entrance.
TKTS BoothsMarch 6, 2014If/Then started performances at the Richard Rodgers. Always check if we have it on the board at TKTS before heading to the box office. We're only a block away!
Josh FerryFebruary 20, 2017This is far and away the greatest show I've ever seen. 5stars for Hamilton!
Marc MendelsonJuly 3, 2014It had a slightly complex plot, yet I truly enjoyed it. Amazed by the performances and the true talent on that stage.
Theater is run down but showing best musical I've seen in a while. Not to be missed "Hamilton"
Denise HSeptember 3, 2016Pay attention to the bathroom locations - there's a serious scrum during intermission when trying to get across the lobby to them.
Cynthia LinOctober 13, 2016A beautifully maintained theater that's presidential and perfect for Hamilton
Calvin MultanenDecember 15, 2015Seats are a bit small but I saw Hamilton so everything else is irrelevant. Go see Hamilton.
Dikran NernekianJanuary 13, 2016Wonderful Hamilton performance in the most uncomfortable seats ever. No space for your knees, feet, elbows.
Nicole SerratoreJuly 19, 2015Steep rake which means front mezzanine preferable to back of orchestra. Note bathrooms are way way downstairs in basement.
- Theater is lousy without an elevator. However Hamilton is playing here which is outstanding
- Betsy BaxterJanuary 13, 2019Extremely tight seats so be prepared to get to know your neighbor and no real leg room. Go to the bathroom before the show or after.
Ariel EstradaApril 10, 2014Incredible show, masterfully directed! Idina and Anthony slay in this show: so wonderful!
