Beautiful theater! The theater itself is stunning! The seats are so tightly packed together leaving you with barely any leg room. The show itself was five stars! The story is a story that needed to be told and they told the story so brilliantly. Not a bad seat in the house! All seats are good seats in this theater!
Saw Dear Evan Hansen here. Great old little theater. Good seating. Great sound. Highly recommend.
We went to go watch Dear Evan Hansen. Multiple lines when trying to get in. Plenty of volunteers helping people get seated. Bathrooms didnt have a long wait during intermission.
We saw Dear Evan Hansen here. For being such an old building they kept it clean. But people pay a LOT of money to see these productions,and the staff was over all VERY rude! It wouldnt kill them to clean the chairs and carpet!! It was very stuffy in the halls and bathrooms as well. But the musical was amazing!
Saw Dear Evan Hansen. The play was so much better than I had hoped. My only complaint was still being required to wear masks. Small pri e to pay though. Staff was awesome! Drinks were also a bit overpriced but it is what it is when you are a captive audience in New York.
Loved the play we saw, Dear Evan Hanson and the cute theatre. People were super friendly!
We saw Dear Evan Hansen and the performance was incredible. Josh Strobl (as Evan) gave an amazing performance. Both his range and the strength of his voice are impressive. He was able to convey the deep emotional state of the character. I literally had tears streaming down my face at times. Overall and incredible production in a beautiful theater.
We were sitting almost right at the back of the mezzanine and the view was still great and all the staff were really friendly when welcoming everyone.During intermission though, i overheard one employee say to another what do you think about non-binary people? and not in a nice way, thats not a reflection on the establishment but the staff should be careful of whats talked about in front of patrons.
Dear Evan Hansen was wonderful. Theater seating sucks. If you are of average height or above, you’re gonna feel like a sardine in a can. The level of discomfort really detracted from the show.
Show was canceled 25 minutes before the show because the AC is out. It had been out since the night before, but the theater management company didn’t have the respect to tell ticket holders earlier so that we could go to another show. We flew to NYC just for this show. We just bought tickets for tomorrow’s show, willing to forego our tickets for another show, and theater management will not agree to letting ticket holders know earlier in the day tomorrow if the AC is not fixed so this doesn’t happen again. People were in tears. Fire whoever the director of operations is for this theater.
Wonderful Broadway experience. We had cheap seats in the mezzanine and they were excellent!
I saw dear Evan Hansen and absolutely loved I have seen many Broadway shows and this was definitely I wish I could go and see it again 10/10 recommend you see it before September 18th when it leaves Broadway
Debatably one of the best theaters in NYC. Being in the heart of time square, its perfect for when taking guests to a show. I came to see Dear Evan Hansen here recently and had a wonderful experience. My seats, although up top and behind a control booth, couldnt have been any better. I got a perfect view of the entire stage and and overall great time. Obviously the show was incredible itself but the intimacy of the theater only added to making me have a memorable time.
Very nice and well kept theatre! Even in the very back I had a good view of the stage, and the sound system is superb! They use live music for when I went to see Dear Evan Hansen and I would love to come back for more shows. The staff is very friendly and the building is easy to navigate.
Beautiful theatre. I saw Dear Evan Hansen and loved everything about the place. We sat upper level left and still had great views. We could hear everything very clearly. Would definitely go back. Dear Evan Hansen was great also!!
Dear Evan Hansen with an amazing production! The staff of the Music Box Theatre were fantastic and very professional. I will definitely come back when the opportunity comes along again!
They dont do rush tickets but if you queue by 6am youre likely to get standing tickets for that days show. They upgraded up to the orchestra at intermission. Dear Evan Hansen is good, but not worth the $300 the box office are selling the remaining tickets for - certainly worth queuing for standing tickets (they are $42).
Great theatre, great staff. Dear Evan Hansen was tremendous!
Recently saw dear Evan Hansen at this no Frills solid theater. It felt on the smaller side and did not have a opulence of some of the other Broadway theaters I have been to. No complaints about the sound quality or viewing experience during the play.
Saw Dear Evan Hansen here, and the theater is totally awesome. A bit on the smaller side, as far as Broadway Theaters go, but there didnt seem to be a bad seat in the house. I sat in the first row of the mezzanine and dont even think orchestra seats would have been better!
This theatre is amazing. My wife and I saw Dear Evan Hansen last night. We were standing at the back of the theatre which sometimes are cheaper tickets you can get on the day. We actually didnt mind standing for the show! The theatre is stunning and there is a bar down stars with a grand piano which really gives the music box theatre character.
Dear Evan Hansen was absolutely amazing. Sad we werent able to see Jordan Fisher but the play was jaw dropping!!!
I tried. Having had a 2k a month Broadway habit a few years ago I decided to go back! They changed all of the shows to be more polite aka took the funny out of broadway. Also, I do not mind wearing a mask and all IF its valid. 1. Asking for 2nd ID for Admissions is OK BUT this means (like at the airport) they actually ask you to lower your make to confirm second ID. Broadway is lacking covid since here as they do not require your mask to be lowered. Also, in the show the woman in our section spoke to everyone as if they were inn 1st grade plus had an obvious comorbidity. If you are going to lecture me about my health please be sure to maintain your own health. Maybe the show will understand that this looks out of place and correct the issue. BUT I doubt it.
We went and saw Dear Evan Hansen. The play was great. The theatre however, must have had the AC break because everyone was sweltering hot during the performance. We sat on the very last row (Row P seats 2 & 4) of the orchestra section and they were amazing seats! They were also cheaper seats than other sections.
Obviously an old theater. Tight seating. Worn carpets. No dividers between urinals. Seats along the outside aisles are a tad obstructed. Good sound system - was able to hear all the words clearly.
Went to see Dear Evan Hansen and really loved it. The theater staff were very kind and helpful, the theater itself is beautiful and clean, and the crowd of people was funneled in and out very gracefully.
Small and intimate. Not a black box theater but simmilar feel despite being quite a bit larger.Saw Dear Even Hansen... Wow!
I loved the Music Box Theatre! The seats were very comfortable and the inside decor was spectacular that it somewhat felt like a castle! And on top of that, Dear Evan Hansen was AMAZING! If you need a good activity or show to see in NYC, DEH is for you!
Dear Evan Hanson was a great show in this excellent Smaller Broadway Theatre!
Loved it! This was my sons 18th birthday gift. Saw Dear Evan Hansen on Ben Platts next to last night. Great show and theatre.
Beautiful venue! Seating is very compact, so be aware. Staff is very accommodating and friendly.
Home of the musical Dear Evan Hansen. The theater itself is nice. Staff in the box office was very friendly. Lobby was tiny.
Not a bad seat in the house! Sat in the back row and still had a great view. Cast came out after the show and signed autographs. Great experience!
Great views of the stage and really nice staff
Was at the theater to see Dear Evan Hansen, the show and sound was fantastic. Smaller theater with a little tighter seating and seats are getting a little old for comfort.
Really nice theater. Great view of the stage. Small but the seats arent as cramped as other Broadway shows. Limited bathrooms. Mens room insanely small. Someones going to see you wee wee when you pee pee lol
Amazing show ! Dear Evan Hansen! Go see it till you can!
I loved the show it was perfect. I was in the second row and the cast was perfection. I had never seen a Broadway play and after this experience I love it. Music is a passion of mine. When I got home I could only listen to the songs I kept singing them repeatedly. It was a dream come true. I even got a souviner. I wish I couldve met the cast in person. All in all I loved the messages the story tells. Hopefully Ill be on that stage singing Waving Through the Window.
Great theater. Efficient staff, you can only exit from the 2nd floor :)
Saw Dear Evan Hansen here.Great Theater!
I loved the old world look Saw Dear Evan Hanson. Loved the play. Very touching. Was crying throughout the show, in a good way. It transported me back in time to a world that was exquisite and full of wonder. Loved it. Definitely would recommend it to anyone looking for such an experience. Enjoyed the whole experience.
Nice theater. We have been able to see several show here, including Dear Evan Hanson, Deuce and Dame Edna. Very easy to get in and out of for performances and wonderful staff.
Loved the show. Good seats and atmosphere.
We saw Dear Evan Hansen from the Orchestra section of this mid-sized theatre. The seats were comfortable, sightlines good and access was ok. The show was great!
Small, old theater. Very organized. There are no bad seats.
Just saw Fear Evan Hansen at the theater. I was candidly worried about Covid - especially since we were seeing the first love show since the most recent shutdown. That said, the staff took every precaution they could to keep the patrons healthy.
Saw Dear Evan Hansen, fantastic show! Had seats that were closer but arrived late and sat in the last row of the theater (no one was seated in the row) and we could still see everything.
A nice venue, a good seat just about anywhere you sit.they have STRICT COVID protocol. If you have minor children, you must provide photo/school id along with proof of vaccination
Amazing! Every seat had a perfect view no matter where you were... staff was very kind. Overall my favorite theater Ive been too
Great venue I saw Dear Evan Hansen here the staff here are really nice and efficient to helping you find your seats. Great show.
I saw Dear Evan Hansen last night and it was AMAZING!! 😭😃 Beautiful place
We watched dear evan hansen which by itself was very good, but the theater was very nice
We enjoyed watching Broadway I recommend to add this on your list when you visit Time Square NY
Great theatre! Staff were very help. Sat in the 1 row on the second deck to see DEAR EVAN HANSEN. Amazing show with great seats.
Cozy, well kept theatre. A great experience!
Great theater, nice location good contemporary show.. dear Evan Hansen
Dear Evan Hansen, loved the play. A great place to see a show.
Kind of smallish theater, great sound, plenty of restrooms. Saw Dear Evan Hansen here.
Small and cozy theater. Good staff. If you sit in the front rows, you will miss some of the stuff in the back because the stage is elevated pretty high.
Much too politically correct. Completely obsessed by mask wearing and Pride Month. Total turn-off!
This theater is the perfect size for shows as every seat has a perfect view of the stage.
If I could rate this theatre 1 million stars. I would. my first Broadway show, in my first Broadway theater, with the original Broadway cast was Dear Evan Hansen. Absolutely spectacular incredible memories. Thank you Music Box. I love you.
I didnt love the play , but was personal reasons. Actors were wonderful.
Went to see Dear Evan Hansen Last night with my cousin it was so cool and fun
Yet another amazing Broadway Theater ❤
We paid so much money per ticket for someone’s head to be in my view? The incline for the orchestra seats is definitely not enough and there has probably been enough shows at this theater for this to be known information! It was also quite small for a theater.The show was amazing though. Dear Evan Hansen had songs I still listen to on my own time! Great performance but the theater was not the best.
Dear Evan Hansen is an amazing play currently running at the Music Box Theater. Ben Platt is fantastic - dont miss it. I mean it!!
Not a bad seat in this house. The seats had plenty of room and were comfortable. We sat in the last row of the orchestra right and had a great view of the stage. Bathrooms were small as it is with any theater on broadway. Dear Evan Hansen will probably not be replaced for a while so go see it at this theater as you will not be disappointed. Ushers were very nice and they do have hearing assistance if needed. They do require a Drivers License as a deposit for the device.
Saw Dear Evan Hansen here (amazing show - better than expected). For a Broadway theater it was relatively spacious (slightly more room than other theaters), comfortable seats, beautiful theater, very friendly and helpful staff, and clean bathrooms. Having someone walk around before the show to sell drinks, snacks, and merch rather than only being able to buy from a stand in the lobby was also very nice and convenient.
A small but beautiful theatre. We had amazing seats (3rd row orchestra) to see Dear Evan Hansen. What an unbelievable show. I recommend to everyone. I would definitely see it again. The seating was slightly too close for me. Next time I will pick a farther row. But overall, it was great.
Great theater, my only qualm is that the seating needs to be updated. If you are a large person in weight or height you will be uncomfortable.
Wow Wow Wow Wow Wow. What an incredible experience! The venue is a true NYC gem. We will be back again soon! :-)
This was the best theatre Ive been to. Even the top level with the cheap seats had its own bathroom, water fountain, and merch table. The soft chairs and decent space between the rows made for a thoroughly comfortable experience seeing Dear Evan Hansen.
Sweet little theater, excellent performance of Dear Evan Hansen. One note, there are no elevators and very little assistance above the orchestra level for anyone with a handicap, such as a fractured bone in the foot. My wife and another woman we met during the show were significantly impacted by the steep stairs and lack of awareness.
One of my favorite Broadway theaters, the Music Box was opened a century ago, in 1921, especially to stage house Irving Berlins and Sam H. Harriss Music Box Revue (thus its name). The Music Box is considered one of the smaller venues on Broadway with just 1025 seats. However, its box seats are unusually large and round, so it compensates with comfort.Since the century that it is operating, The Music Box has seen numerous top hits on its stage. Pippin, The Heidi Chronicles, King Charles III, Shuffle Along, or, the Making of the Musical Sensation of 1921 and All That Followed have graced its stage in recent years. The latest addition is the teen super hit Dear Evan Hansen.Evan Hansen, the main protagonist, is a socially anxious teenager, who spends his time in high school with only a couple of his (not so close friends). The suicide of the school bully – Connor, allows him to get closer to his crush – Connor’s sister Zoe. After a long chain of schemes, Evan enters the Murphy family. They nearly adopt him, giving him Connor’s colleague fund along with the attention he craves.But all bad deeds must be punished, so Evan’s meteoric rise with the Murphies ends abruptly. However, he still gets his happy end. And moves on screen. We’re expecting the Dear Evan Hansen movie sometime this year.
Nice place to see Dear Evan Hansen. Very friendly staff, comfortable seats. The theater is relatively small, so I think its safe to say there are no bad seats in the place. I definitely recommend seeing a show here.
Saw Dear Evan Hansen. Great view even from balcony.
Needs more restrooms. The line at intermission went down the stairs around the corner and down again.
Such an awesome and intimate theatre. We loved seeing Dear Evan Hansen here.
Saw Dear Evan Hansen - theater is small and even the seats in the very back had a great view. Area was clean and staff friendly. My only complaint is they did let several people come in late and the lights distracted from the show. Overall a great experience.
We saw Dear Evan Hansen here and the show was spectacular. The usher who helped us to our seat was very kind and friendly. This theater is smallish for Broadway and feels very intimate which was perfect for this kind of show.
The theater is rusticly charming but not old or shabby. Not too large, so almost every seat is a good seat. Great sound and acoustics for a great performance of Dear Evan Hansen. Small bar, memorabilia shop and restrooms downstairs.
Great theater!!! All of the seats had a great view of the stage. We were in the very back row and could see beautifully. The sound quality was great too. Dear Evan Hansen was amazing!!!
Loved the show. House mgr and merch staff were very kind. What a show and half the cast was understudies. Knocked it out of the park
Not a bad seat in the house. Im 62 and had no problem with leg room. The chairs were comfortable.
We saw Dear Evan Hansen here tonight, it was great, and the theatre was wonderful too.
Saw Dear Evan Hansen here and was fairly comfortable as far as theater seating goes. Short wait to get into the venue and we sat in the orchestra section. Amazing show. No lobby to speak of though. You walk through the front doors and youre in the theater within another 10 steps.
Saw Dear Evan Hansen on the day after Thanksgiving... Everything was amazing.Not a bad seat in the theater... Great view from our seats in the balcony.Extremely happy with everything, convenient restrooms and concessions.
I saw Dear Evan Hansen at this theater. I loved the show, however the theater was sorta small. I understand its new york ,but I would have preferred something more spacious. The sidewalk outside is always super crowded too. Its a pain to leave.
Beautiful, exquisite theatre!! Staff very polite and friendly. Dear Evan Hansen absolutely terrific!! 💙
Small venue with amazing view of stage and great lighting and sound system. Seats are on the smaller scale like in an airplane so maybe opt for aisle seat. Saw Dear Evan Hanson here but at times the orchestra overshadowed the vocals or maybe it was just our seats?Overall, clean and cozy venue.
Very friendly staff, and no bad seat in the place! Saw Dear Evan Hansen here, and it was great. The staff was very helpful for people with disabilities, and seemed to really be on friendly terms with each other as well. It always makes for a positive atmosphere when the staff likes doing their job, and it was visible that they did here.
Theater, Musicals, Shows on Broadway, what more can be said about that!! The name itself, Broadway, says it all; it is simply the best quality acting and performing platform in the World. The interaction between actors and audiences is one of a kind. The reality and the feeling that if you only stretch out your hand, you might reach those stars on stage is impeccable. Theres nothing comparable to A Broadway show. After 10 yrs in NYC, Ive seen quite a few shows, from Jude Law to Al Pacino and frankly, theres no end to the talent out there. Dear Evan Hansen at the Music Box Theater is truly THE BAR this season. The show won the Tony Award for best show, and it is well deserved. From acting through singing, staging, storyline... it is simply out of this world. The whole story is very real and very familiar to a lot of people. You need to be ready, though, for some heavy subject matter. The theater itself is a classical Broadway venue, very well preserved and retained the expected intimacy between actors and audiences. I highly recommend the show as well as Music Box Theater and its future shows!
Ive seen 3 shows in Music Box Theatre so far (The Heidi Chronicles, King Charles III, Dear Evan Hansen). The Theatre is very well built, with very good acoustics. Even from abstracted view seats (from which I saw King Charles III) most of the stage is visible.At the time of writing this review, Dear Evan Hansen is showing at Music Box Theatre. It is an amazing show and I highly recommend it.
With my girlfriend,I attended Dear Evan Hansen last night (February 2nd). The show was fantastic, we really enjoyed it - well worth seeing.We had an unfortunate incident with one of the members of staff; this woman appeared to be in her early to mid thirties, has blond hair and was running the merchandise stand upstairs next to the entrance to the mezzo seating section. My girlfriend wanted to buy the music score to the musical and was looking at several of the book and t-shirts on sale. The sales representative refused to let her look at one of the books, kept gesturing to give the first one back, clearing her throat and staring at my girlfriend, making her feel very uncomfortable. The sales representative did not ask directly to give the book back or state anything my girlfriend was doing was incorrect. There was no one else waiting in line, my girlfriend was not rude and didnt cause any trouble - I was there the entire time and was shocked to see the sales representatives behavior; the woman was behaving as if my girlfriend was trying to steal from the stand which clearly was not the case. All the rest of the staff was very pleasant and we were very thankful for that.At the end of the show, we went to the bottom floor and purchased the merchandise from the pleasant, helpful woman there. I am writing this review in the hope that this feedback will reach someone who can speak with this sales representative and ask them to behavior more appropriately in future. The encounter was very unpleasant and left us feeling uncomfortable for a good portion of the show, which was very sad. Especially considering the topic of the show, I would hate to see this repeated.Thank you for your time,Peter
Beautiful old theater. Wonderful seating for everyone to get a good view of the stage. I am not sure there is a bad seat in the house. We saw Dear Evan Hansen and it was great!
I was lucky enough to be able to tour the backstage areas of the theater. Its a great little house in the heart of the Theater District with the Tony award-winning play on stage. Good luck trying to buy tickets to Dear Evan Hansen , though.
Went to see Dear Evan Hansen and the show was fantastic. The story occurs in present day amongst high school students who communicate almost exclusively using technology and social media. I initially considered it non-traditional Broadway. Amazingly, The staging, visual tech, lighting, musical ensemble, all the performers, sound engineering and the entire production really came together to present an unbelievable audience experience
I saw dear Evan Hansen with my son! The show was great and the theater looks very vintage!The employees are friendly and kindly! The price is ok!There is only one point. You von hear the noise from the street, when a truck sets back in the near neighborhood or an emergency vehicle switch on there siren in the front!
Beautiful theatre, nicely sized so the show really feels like an intimate experience!
The play was amazing, well coordinated, their voices were good, I was totally blown away.
Loved Dear Evan Hansen. The partial obstructed seating in row A on the left was a great value
The seats are really comfortable but wish I had a little extra leg space. Great performance!
Great venue, super comfortable seats, staff and show!
Dear Evan Hansen is my favorite on Broadway
Dear Evan Hansen was fantastic, the theater is gorgeous! We had partial view seats and could see everything!! My only complaint was that the seats are VERY narrow. Otherwise it was perfect!
We saw Dear Evan Hansen and it was awesome. I did this for my 2 teenage daughters and didnt expect to enjoy it. I thought it was great. Truly. The theater itself was fine. Not a bad seat in the house.
Im divided on this theatre. Its small size is conducive to the intimate subject matter of the play, however by the second act I was getting really uncomfortable because the seats are packed together. We were also in the last row of the orchestra section right up against a back wall. Also, I think they sell standing only area tickets and my wife felt someones hands touch her hair from behind (a mistake, I hope).But every angle gives you a great view of the play. If you Google it, you will see that the right and left sides of each section have a partially obstructed view of the stage, however all the action takes place in the center so that wont be an issue. They offer free wifi also, but it was spotty. Bathroom is nice, but waits can be long. Get there on time because they dont allow late seating. Dear Evan Hansen is amazing so that makes me forget about all the negatives.Enjoy!
Great air, not stuffy with beautiful views from anywhere in the theater. Only issue is that the seats are small in width and also not enough leg room. 56 and my hips were killing me in an attempt to keep my legs jammed in. I had the aisle seat so I can only imagine others issues and taller individuals.
A fairly intimate space - a bit of a squeeze in the seats. Good sight lines to the whole stage from all over. Our experience was enhanced as we were there to see the wonderful Dear Evan Hansen!
Nice theatre. I watched Dear Evan Hansen (which was amazing!) here, and while the seat was comfortable, there’s this awkward railing thingy at the edge of each row that may obscure your view at the mezzanine rows.
Incredible performance of Dear Evan Hansen. One of the best shows Ive seen on Broadway and the talent is superb. We sat in the mezzanine and the view was great.
This review is for the theater and the show, Dear Evan Hanson. The venue was great. Staff was friendly, courteous and professional. View from seats are unobstructed and other than the extreme wings the seating provides adequate view of the performance. Bathrooms are downstairs and are clean and adequate in size to accommodate intermission needs. Some have reviewed the roominess of the seating negativily. I would say the are average for any venue. If you are large or tall, you may find the seating inadequate, otherwise its fine.The show presents some powerful issues in a modern way. The topics and and language may not be appropriate for the youngest of viewers. Taking teens, even young teens, should be fine and may prevoke valuable discussions. There is the topic of suicide, but also a theme of inclusiveness, which is certainly a common theme in entertainment. Overall, the performance was good. Our party felt the musical numbers were good, not great. The acting was very good and the chemistry among the cast members was very good. Emotional scenes were presented very powerful and evoked high emotions from the audience. Without spoiling the story, the bottom of the second act felt as if it was severely underdeveloped. There is a revelation made that just hangs there and seems as if a third act should have been devoted to issue.Good show, good performance and good venue. Its not going to blow you away, but you will enjoy the experience.
The theater is gorgeous, and makes for an incredible theater experience! We sat in the first row of the balcony, and the views were perfect. Leg room is tight, so taller people may want to find an aisle seat.
Saw Dear Evan Hansen here. Nice little theater but bathrooms are tiny so lines are long. Pretty limited as far as concessions - I saw just one guy in the hallway selling some drinks and snacks.
Good view of stage anywhere you sit
The following is possibly the most overused cliche ever, but if you only see one play this year, this is it. Dear Evan Hansen tore my heart out, then put it back in, in better shape than before. The entire cast is remarkable, not the least of which is the actor who plays title role, Andrew Barth Feldman, who is a remarkable young actor and a phenomenal singer.
Great theatre and great show. Prices for drinks are eye watering though.
The Music Box is a perfect theatre for an intimate show experience. Every seat in the house has a magnificent view. Dear Evan Hansen was the experience of my lifetime on Broadway. Do yourself a favor of your life and GO see it!!!
Music Box Theatre is great for the most important reason for patrons... Great sight lines from seat in the house. We love seating in the last row in the mezzanine. You can see and hear perfectly. We rate a theater highly if these sight lines allow you an unobstructed view of the stage.
Was here to see Dear Evan Hansen, and the theatre is nice. The staff is great at getting everyone to their seats. Refreshments are overpriced, but thats to be expected at any venue.
The seat layout was strange at first, with the stage a bit higher than most other theaters to which Ive been. still, the experience was joyful and evocative, the styling of the place was warm and charismatic, and the staff was both helpful and unobtrusive. oh and the play was excellent also. 😁
Very nice theater!Evan Hansen was good 👍
We saw a musical at this theater. The seating is a little closer because it is an older theater but by what I could see every seat had good visibility. We sat in the first row of the balcany and the seats were wonderful. All in all a very pleasant experience.
Awesome place, Dear Evan Hansen was an awesome show. I heard it would be good but it was better than expected. Tbe theater itself had a wonderful character and classic detail.
Staff rude and ignorant. Poor crowd and facility management. Dear Evan Hansen was worth the trip though. It’s an unforgettable experience that draws you in and draws you closer together. The entire cast was amazing.
The Music Box Theatre is a great place to see a show. The size is great. It is not so big so their are lots of great seats with good sight lines. The soundsystem and acoustics are excellent, too. The staff was friendly and helpful.
Beautiful theater not far from Times Square and right next to the Marriott Marquis. Additionally, Dear Evan Hansen is one of the most amazing musicals to grace the city of New York and Broadway.
Quaint, small theatre. All the seats seem like good seats as youre always fairly close to the stage. The slant of the seats isnt quite steep enough on the orchestra level and you can end up blocked by the heads of the row in front of you though.
Avoid in Summer! We went to a show last night and the theatre was exceptionally warm and incredibly uncomfortable. The temperature of the theatre and inadequate air conditioning ruined the show we had spent hundreds of dollars on. The theatre was otherwise fine so would probably be ok unless its Summer. I suggest the theatre spend some of the enormous money coming through to update its terrible facilities.
Wonderful venue with great acoustics! Dear Evan Hansen is there now.... Its an exceptional show! The best Ive seen in years!!
Very spacious and the staff is really nice. Inside, its maintained really properly and the experience was really really good.
Very small theatre; not a bad seat anywhere. Staff are exceedingly patient. Dear Evan Hansen is a transcendent work of musical and narrative genius.
Great experience. This is one of the smaller theaters so every seat has a great view of the stage. We saw Dear Evan Hanson which was a great play.
The theater was done up beautifully! We saw Dear Evan Hansen and loved it- they did an amazing job with the lighting, music, choreography, casting, everything!
Great theater! Its small enough that there are no bad seats. Dear Evan Hansen performance was amazing!
Really nice, smallish Broadway Theater with good view throughout. Not a bad seat in the house.Dear Evan Hansen was very good.
We were here for Dear Evan Hansen. Nicely designed theatre - all the seats have workable views - although they could use some more bathrooms for the intermission rush.
Very nice, small theater in the heart of Manhattans theater district. Comfy seats and a stage low enough for front row guests to be able to see entire stage. Concessions and bathrooms are downstairs which may be a problem for some.
Had the privilege to see Dear Evan Hansen at Music Box. The intimate setting was superb for this show and it made for an unforgettable experience for us. Facility is small and clean and well worth the ticket price.
Dear Evan Hanson is an awesome show dealing with teen suicide. You will be moved. Cast was incredible. However, leg room is very tight at theater
This is a beautiful theater built in 1920. Only 860 seats, so every one is a good one. Go and see a musical...it will be a wonderful experience. Its in mid town Manhattan so there are lots of restaurants and stores to explore.
Dear Evan Hansen....no words. ❤️ life changing experience.
We had box seats for Dear Evan Hansen. We were warned the view was partially obstructed, but other than having to lean out a bit to see the extreme left side of the stage there were no issues whatever. Now that Ive been inside I can see there are no poor seats. Even the back row of the mezzanine/balcony was close enough to the stage to be a premium seat.
Great sight lines from nearly any seat watching Dear Evan Hansen (H5 Mezzanine level)
So we saw Dear Evan Hanson (which was like a 10 out of 5 stars). The theatre itself was fine, but we had a partial view and there seemed to be a lot of partial view seating.
Dear evan Hansen. My first broadway show and for sure not my last! 10/10
I went there to see dear Evan Hansen. It was quite good!
Great small (for Broadway) theater. There are no bad seats in this theater. Even the box seats have terrific views of the stage. Have watched 3 shows so far and theyve been great!
Great entertainment. Did not like that people were allowed to purchase tickets and stand behind us, and yes we were on the last row on the main floor. I just believe I paid good money, for people to be breathing down my neck, thus 3 stars.
Employees are welcoming...they even let us stand inside waiting for the doors to open on thiscold and windy Saturday.
Theater is charming. Dear Evan Hansen was powerful and far exceeded my expectations. The songs were impactful and great poetry!
Currently Dear Evan Hansen plays here and it is one of the best shows Ive ever seen. Theatre is kinda small so no seat is too far.
Cozy and intimate theater. Dear Evan Hansen was an amazing show.
Not much more I can say that hasnt already been said. Beautiful theater.
Great venue. We had the good fortune of center orchestra seating, but its fairly small and it didnt look like there were any seats that were bad. Sound quality was high as well.
Great show, nice theatre with good spacing
Saw a play last night. Summertime and it was warm outside. The temperature inside was even warmer for the first half of the show. Many people were uncomfortable, using their copy of the playbill as a personal fan. The cooling came on in the second half, much to our relief. The heat unfortunately spoilt the show.
Small theater but could see pretty well from the balcony.
One of the smaller Broadway theaters, the Music Box is cozy if not exactly comfortable. There are nicer, more well finished theaters, but this one has bathrooms in convenient locations (not just in the basement like some others) and even from row J in the mezzanine, you have good views of the stage.
Well done, touching! Voices & acting excellent.
This place is amazing. The show was amazing as well. We really enjoyed the enitre night. We came a little late and the staff was as great about letting us watch from the back until we could sneak into our seats. Drinks were expensive but strong and worth it.
Very good theatre and weve seen some wonderful shows there. I know the theatre you goto is determined by the show you want to see, but the staff is very friendly. It was odd that they didnt post prices at the merch stands for some reason. I cant remember ever seeing that before (even for previous shows at the Music Box). Hopefully, theyll fix that soon - maybe they were recently raised.
Great theater to see a play
VERY intimate. Not only is Dear Evan Hansen worth the five stars by itself, but the theater itself is beautiful and a wonderful place to watch a show, not to mention historic.
One of Broadways more recognizable theaters, its got great views from almost everywhere. Balcony gives a really good perspective on things. As with most old theaters on Broadway, seats are a bit snug.
Cute little theater, though the seats did not have much leg room
Smaller theater on Broadway. Comfortable seats. Good acoustics. Saw Dear Evan Hansen. Very enjoyable story.
Saw one man to guvnors here and had a great time. cute theatre but not small. great staff that are very welcoming and helpful. they usually get great shows to come here so it is a good idea to keep up with this place excited for Pippin!
Saw Dear Evan Hansen. The first half was enough. The second half was just more of the clichéd same. Single mum doing her best (why not a single dad?). Father figure sharing baseball mitt. Father owns lawyers practice while wife doesnt have a job worth mentioning. Expensive drinks. Simple looking theatre.
What a great small theater, all the seats have great views and a great vibe.
One of the only theatres on broadway with decent box seats. So far most of the shows Ive seen there are good. The bathroom facilities are great which is amazing considering most theatre struggle with long lines at ladies rooms. Also one of the few theatres with a water fountain in the lobby.
As with most NYC theaters, the seats are tight and if a tall person is in front of you, youre up for a challenge to see. In addition, the AC was too cold, so you need to bring a sweater in the summer even when it is 90 outside. Youre also going to wait in line at the restrooms.
Went and saw Dear Evan Hansen, it was totally amazing. Totally recomend checking out if your looking for a powerful musical experience from amazing actors.
Came here for Pippin (2013). Its a medium sized theater. My seat was in the last row to the rear, but I still got a clear view of the full stage. There are some nice accents to the architecture here, and I liked the old school drinking fountain on the second floor. The mens room is pretty small here though, so the wait could be a while during intermission.
Truly enjoyed Dear Evan Hansen! Seats are very tight but offer a pretty good view, even in the far back.
Dear Evan Hansen is back and it was great! Dont miss it!!
Run down facilities and a facade that was not decorated to match the very modern show we saw: Dear Evan Hansen. The show itself was amazing though.
Beautiful intimate theater with absolutely no bad seats! The staff is very friendly and helpful. Just dont order a glass (cup) of wine $$$$$ :)
Great theater, also its rather small. So if you get seats alllll the way in the back dont fret because youll be able to see just fine. The people that worked there were nice too
Great experience... I recommend TKTS... I got a great seat.
We missed Ben Platt by a few weeks, or so my kids said. This is inconsequential since I don’t know kid’s programming.The high school plot is around confidence, acceptance and how far one will go to be acknowledged, music is cute. My kids were pleased so it is 5🌟. Way too long 2.5hrs . I was hoping to leave at Intermission yet my 11 year said this was not an option. Good on her!
Nice theatre, just 2 things I didnt like...why do they have to cool down the theatre when its snowing outside? And the legroom is not good for tall people, luckily I had an aisleseat so I could stretch my legs!
The staff are very efficient and friendly. Sound and lighting is very good. Dear Evan Hansen is an amazing show!
Beautiful theater, lovely size for intimate shows. FYI Dear Evan Hansen is the best show ever!!!
Excellent theatre...not a bad seat in the house
Music Box is a great venue for a play. Small enough where there isnt a bad seat on the house but not too small.If you have the opportunity this one place to be sure to visit.
Went to see Dear Evan Hansen and the show was fantastic. The seating is a little tight,but I am a bit over 6 foot tall.
Dear Evan Hansen was the best Broadway I have seen. Jordan Fisher stole my heart with his performance.

2022-05-16A 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 youre going to need it!!!

2022-03-30Been 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.

2022-03-01Beautiful theater on Broadway! We saw Dear Evan Hansen here, which was absolutely fantastic! The staff and ushers were extremely kind and helpful to us when we were finding our seats. The security check was very quick and efficient, better than some of the other theaters Ive been to. Overall an amazing experience!

2022-07-24A 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.

2022-02-06This theatre is a very nice venue on Broadway — I saw Dear Evan Hansen here and I was very happy with the experience.The staff were very helpful, and the seats were quite comfortable. I would be happy to return for another performance in the near future!

2022-07-25Watched 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.

2022-04-01Incredible intimate theater. Dear Evan Hansen was spectacular. The sound was probably the best sounding theater Ive ever been in. There was plenty of leg room on the seats, nice and they were very comfortable too. I cant wait to go back again!

2022-03-04Seats are quite comfortable with sufficient legroom even for a long legged person (62). Lounge space downstairs was not heavily crowded during intermission and had some nice space with comfortable chairs for preshow. Sized well for the show (Dear Evan Hansen) - definitely happy to visit again.

2022-02-23Every theater in NY, including this is serious about the virus. Your ID must match your excelsior pass. Lines move quickly and the staff is very efficient.
