ℳ𝒶𝓎♍September 4, 2018Broadway's best! Home to some of the most iconic musicals of all time. Splurge and spend a little more on your seats, you'll appreciate you did when you see how far away the back row is from the stageUpvoted Mar 12
I've seen it 3 times on Broadway and 2 soon to be 3 on tour. Highly recommend Wicked. It's funny and well pretty much amazing! The current broadway leads Katie Rose Clarke and Teal Wicks are amazing!!
Richard RevillaMay 15, 2016Currently playing Wicked. Awesome show in a modern theater. Seats are very comfortable and the interior sets add to the shows experience.
Ruslan RussNovember 11, 2016Very well organized, great stage, music. Drinks and souvenirs are great, too :) Seriously nothing to dislike. Only thing - leftmost and rightmost seats are slightly off-view
Nico ParkerFebruary 12, 2019I had wanted to see Wicked for a long time before I went, and I was not disappointed. It was incredible. The music is great, the story is great. I definitely recommend it.
Andrew CSeptember 23, 2016So many unappreciative theatre-goers, wow - dude in front of us was, texting 80% of the show and usher asked him multiple times to stop... theatre itself is absolutely beautiful & so big!!! GREAT SHOW
Wendy ForemanJanuary 21, 2014Awesome show, just as I had hoped. We sat towards the very back mezzanine and our view was splendid. I don't think there is a bad seat in the house.
Ailie ChangMay 7, 2015Wicked is one of my favorites! Kara Lindsay is the best Glinda I've seen so far. I had Center Orchestra seats in row N. They were perfect!
Bruna GabriellaApril 15, 2012This is such a beautiful theater! Great and comfortable seats. Splurge on a front/center orchestra if you can afford it, but really, there isn't a bad seat in the house.
Yan PFebruary 3, 2017If you sit in row Q on the orchestra sides, you have lots of legroom. Since this is a newer theater, it's not as cramped as the older ones.
Trae FOctober 15, 2016Wicked! This is a large theater so keep that in mind when purchasing tickets. Sat in the 3rd row mezzanine but I wouldn't go much further back than that.- Diane Franklin KelloggApril 22, 2017wonderful place. You can see pretty well from every seat. We got there 15 minutes before the play started and had plenty of time.
Mariama RentoyAugust 26, 2014It was my first time to watch and I wasn't disappointed I found it every bit as magical as I imagined or hoped it would be! if I could, I would watch this time and time again!
Rhea BurkeFebruary 2, 2020Play was awesome, getting tickets at center mezzanine was best decision, no one impeding sight!
Shane GrahamNovember 5, 2016It wasn't as great as some of the Theatre experiences I have had in New York but if was a fun time with my family!- Kasey BDecember 12, 2012Wicked is spectacular - from the cast, the set & Stephen Schwartz's musical genius!! We loved every minute of the show & look forward to seeing it again. Jackie Burns & Alli Mauzey are perfectly cast!
Chrissy NickelJanuary 18, 2015Beautiful theater. Sound could be a little better up top. Beautiful collection on second floor of theater items
Jade LongstaffJanuary 26, 2014Amazing theater and show (Wicked). It was really cold inside the theater though so I would suggest keeping your jackets with you for warmth.
Gigi DennisApril 5, 2014I love this play I could watch it everyday of I could!! Christine Dwyer who plays Elphaba is really sweet and awesome!!
RachelNovember 8, 2015Saw Wicked here. It's a larger theater with many levels. They sell cocktails and the seats are comfy!
Rynee ScottOctober 22, 2020Well-arranged, great stage, great music. Only thing-there are slightly off-view leftmost and rightmost seats.- Bruna GabriellaApril 15, 2012If you are going to see Wicked by yourself, buy your ticket the same day or the day before the performance and you'll get premium seats at regular price.
Maribel EscobosaFebruary 13, 2014Lindsay Mendez is an excellent Singer and a great actress!! She gives elphaba her own twist...
Ingrid HartmanAugust 8, 2013Really amazing singing but the plot just seems like it is weirdly being forced into the Wizard of Oz story and it doesn't quite work somehow. Call me old fashioned, but I preferred Anything Goes :D
Norman EllisSeptember 11, 2015Beautiful theater! Great sight lines and spacious seats. Practically stadium seating.

Jassonn WilliamsMay 19, 2014Awesome play. There is an electronic listing that appears in times square for matinee performances look for this and then see it again but GO see it!
Arlene MurphyJanuary 3, 2014This theatre is home to annual lists of performers who were outstanding in their fields. The memorabilia is simply marvelous to look at.
Janice LeungSeptember 20, 2013$30 lottery tickets!! Be there 2.5 hours before the show if you want to join the lottery. Sometimes there are great offers from box office, don't hesitate to ask.
AnthonyMarch 17, 2016Defy gravity! A spacious theatre like no other. Buy a drink and receive a commemorative cup.
Sunny N.May 25, 2011Grab a drink across the street at that thai spot (Raspberry mojitos) before you check out "Wicked" Awesome show! Jennifer DiNoia and Laura Woyasz are the best. (Glinda and Elphaba)
Sandy GillJuly 5, 2014Behind the Emerald Curtain is a must do/see for any fan of Wicked, or theatre in general!!!- Toad MushroomFebruary 1, 2014absolutely AMAZING show. loved the bittersweet twist on the story - you can't help but love elphaba.
Steven PopekSeptember 3, 2016Saw "Wicked", and enjoyed the steller performance. And being on Broadway, what a better experience, to see where the great, perform!

HISTORYApril 8, 2010The theatre is named after famous composer George Gershwin & lyricist Ira Gershwin. It has the highest seating capacity of any Broadway theatre with 1,933 seats.
Dan GreenleafJuly 26, 2013Fabulous show. Arrive early so you have time to check out all the photos of past stars in the lobby.
Jessica JApril 15, 2012Glozmapolitian (raspberry stoli & strawberry pucker) is good but if you ask for a double be ready to shell out $32.
Michele BarnettFebruary 26, 2012Lines for ladies room are out of control at intermission. This likely goes for all shows, but be sure to hit the ladies room before u hit the theatre.- smith riderApril 15, 2021Drinks and souvenirs are excellent. Stunning performance, just as I had hoped.
