We saw Tammany Hall and had a fantastic time. I had only learned about this show days before starting a short weekend trip to NYC and was able to get tickets for a 3 pm show. I’m pretty obsessed with immersive theater and have seen a lot of productions. This one was so different, and in a good way. For many of them, the story line is vague, left up to your interpretation and dependent on what you experienced. I didn’t feel that was the case here. The storyline was clear and super interesting, based on history. I never knew the details of this time in NYC! Actors were top notch and they used what seemed like every corner of the building as the set, which was decorated to perfection. The way they peel off audience members at random times for a different scene is super fun. I love that complete surprise, not knowing what’s going to come next. I can’t imagine how complicated it must be to time all of that out. While it didn’t bother me, there were a lot of stairs involved as we were ushered to different parts of the set. I’d bet those who are less mobile may be challenged. Overall, it was a great experience and the 90 minutes flew by.
Regarding the Tammany Hall show, nice and talented folks and interesting concept, great space, but excruciatingly boring and super repetitive. Barely anything interesting. Didnt learn a single thing about that historical period, and Im far from an expert on Tammany. I was dying to leave after 20 minutes but didn’t want to be rude. Highlight was the brief singing. Overall a waste of our time and money. Sorry. Granted, this was the second day of the show, before even the official opening. Hopefully it improves.😔
Took my wife in to see Tammany Hall; this was a really fun show! It was especially cool as the venue is on the location of an old Tammany Hall speakeasy. The guy who was playing Mayor Walker was positively Mephistophelean. Definitely a blast, would go again.
Fantastic venue for an intimate show. The bar downstairs is great too.
The production crew is arrogant from the start… this is by far the worst show I’ve ever been to. Consider this the most off-Broadway show you could possibly see with wanna be actors who are definitely spending more time waiting tables then mastering their craft. They ask you to engage but if you do they get upset if u engage them in a way that would challenge any of their supposed improvisational skills. If you want a 1920s experience I might suggest your better off putting on an old movie and drinking a 1920s cocktail at home and save yourself the agony of having to watch wanna be actors with acting skills are on par with a bad high school production of any play. Snooze and everyone has a bad attitude.
Da Vinci and Michelangelo was informative, entertaining, and inspiring. Mr. Rodgers was splendid. I cant count how many times I teared up. BRAVO!Everyone should see this.
Love old theaters, it brings me back into time. The Latina Christmas Special was just what I needed to end the 2019 year. Great job Geoffrey Rivas and the cast Maria Rusell, Diana Yanez and Sandra Valls. Love you guys.
A super fun immersive experience. You will enjoy the one on one and group interactions throughout the night. The actors are amazing and the building is absolutely perfect. Highly recommend!
I appreciated the acting and the complexity of involving the audience. It flowed smoothly from room to room. Like the NYT reviewer, I was a bit befuddled by the plot line, especially the ending. And the vote ultimately was gratuitous. I also was left wondering what I missed, rooms and actors that I did not interact with. All in all, a fun night.
Not my first interactive theater experience, but it was my favorite. The whole thing started as soon as we confirmed our reservation. Nice touch having the actors mingle with guests in the waiting area before bringing them up to the first stage area.
Tammany Hall at Soho playhouse was fresh and fun! Very unique immersive theater experience that utilized the entire building space! I will definitely make the trip to nyc from Baltimore again for one of their shows!
My grandson and I attended together. Enjoyed the immersive experience and interacting with the characters. He thought it was fun and asked great questions at the debate and fully participated in the rooms through which we traveled. The set evoked the 20s. Loved the pre-show with Walker and with Kiki. The debate and the musical review were two of my favorite parts. It was a great way to spend the evening. Will be coming back in December.
. I took my boyfriend to see Josphine a Burlesque Cabernet Dream Play....It was AMAZING! We had abgreat time. We are interested in seeing more plays there.
Had a really fun night out at Tammany Hall! My wife and I got pulled into some private rooms backstage to talk with characters and had a blast! highly recommend!

Bonjour and KonnichiwaMy name is Keiki also known as ThePandaPhotographerI was at the SOHO Playhouse and I have to say, drinks are a very very limited selection. Not good choices in my professional travel experience.This is New York City so please think about a square foot per dollar in NYC, LOL. The bar area is small and seems the bartender is young and still needs some learning. He screws up on drink.Afterward, we were able to upstairs for a small show, but something about neighbors and the noise. It was a Saturday night and I only stay for about 2 hours with some friends for a party at the Playhouse.I will not visit this place again for the drinks but will visit for shows or entertainment which I wasnt able to attend at this time.
Great set. Great actors. Fun history. Worth the ticket to enjoy this historical and immersive experience. Dress up. It makes it more fun!
Friendly staff. Flexible performance spaces in a 180 year old building
It was such a grand old time. It send you back to 1929 Mayoral election. Prohibition is in full swing, and youre in a speakeasy where things get a little beside the law. Needs just a little bit of polish, but we were there during previews. This show has the potential to be a real stunner!
Fun, a different kind of live theater experience. Being on location in a real way adds to the sense of travelling back in time. A multi sensory serving of NYC history.
I saw Nish Kumar here recently. Great show. Great venue.
Great small-size theatre. We saw Jekyll and Hyde, and it was spectacular. The theatre curates the best shows from Fringe festivals, and it shows. The ticket prices are reasonable, and while the theatre is small and a little dingy, it is such a fun time. Staff is really friendly and enthusiastic. My only complaint is that while there is a bar to wait in downstairs, there is no queue getting ready to enter the theatre so it is cramped, but that is unavoidable and not a deal breaker.
Nice little theater. Very friendly staff. Seats are very comfortable with excellent views from everywhere. It was seat yourself. Small bar and restrooms downstairs. Enjoyed the two actor adaptation of Jekyll and Hyde. Funny with some shocks. I will try to get back here for another show.
I saw Reborning a couple months ago and enjoyed the intimate venue. There is definitely a shift in how involved you get with a performance here. I felt enclosed in a space that captured me. Limited seating so if you are particular about where you want to sit, get there early. Cute theatre, for sure.
The building is going up for sale.Possibly losing theater.This is not great :(Ive worked on a show there for over 10 years.This place is magical.You may enjoy it as a patron, but behind the curtain and before the shows, its always fun. The staff are friendly and professional. Great combination.Some great shows have taken place here.
Intimate space with welcoming staff. Set design and production quality is high for a small theater. Seats are what you would find on Broadway, cushioned, but cramped. Also a bit worn out. In general, space feels dated. But a solid off Broadway venue overall.
Its a small area which can feel a little stuffy but I think it gives for a more intimate close style. We enjoyed watching Daniel Sloss (from row 2!!) and if I had the choice I would always pick somewhere small and quirky like here to see my favorite comedians. Especially when you get the chance to talk with them and take pictures right outside (which can only happen when its a small audience hence a small crowd). I loved this place but I did hear the avoid the restrooms so I cannot speak for that aspect if there are issues.
Small intimate space. I love it. Ive gone to several shows there. Im small person and think the seats are just right. A larger person might feel very cramped. Bathrooms were an experience I would not like to repeat
The immersive experience and interaction, as well as the twists of following one storyline with a cast member, all the while wondering what everyone else is doing and seeing makes for an exciting evening of entertainment!
Ive only been to the Huron Club space located in the basement. But if youre upstairs and need to use the restroom, wed be jostling around each other to get to them.Since Im already on the restrooms let me start there. Three tiny lavatories (I guess thats what you call a toilet in its own room) and a cramped sink area. Theres extra toilet paper in the cabinet under the sink. Dont ask.The stairs are steep and not at all ADA friendly, which is why I felt a strong compulsion to carry one very frail-looking elderly lady up the stairs.The Huron Club looks kinda shoddy to be honest. But given that it used to be a speakeasy for the Tammany Hall crowd, the scuffed up bar and exposed vents in the low-hung ceiling are vintage... yeah, thatll work.But despite its looks and history, the audio/visuals and the lighting are very good. It instantly becomes intimate and cozy.Theres a full-service working bar along most of the right side. Banquette seating along the left. The rest is a flexible combination of cafe tables and chairs. The theater staff are so on top of things, they will balance the table legs without having to be asked.The staff was excellent. At the end of the current show, they open the bar for service. You can order pretty much anything youd find at an average bar. My friend and I got a little too comfortable with that and forgot that this isnt an actual bar and they would like to go home. But they never made us feel intrusive or rushed. Thanks guys!As far as this theater goes, beauty fades but character remains. And this place is steeped in character.
Excellent theater. We saw Book of Moron and enjoyed the show. Bar is not well-stocked unfortunately.
Have to say the staff were fantastic but a few thing will make sure i never come back here, toilets were a joke with no hand towels or toilet paper but the main issue i had was with the seating, far too small and cramped for anyone over six feet, even now 2 weeks after the show i went to i am still suffering from extreme back pain, as is the other tall person i went with, if you changed the seating so it wasnt like sitting in a primary school class room then you might avoid these issue! but as i said the staff were fantastic and seemed sympathize with me when i asked if there was any better seating for taller people.
Lovely location, but its getting a bit musty and the seats need help. The downstairs bar is sometimes used for shows as well, but its not really suitable -- theres no stage, and its the size of an average living room. Last show I saw there I felt bad for the actress, who probably booked the space from out of town without knowing.
Great theater with bar with full productions weekly
It is a small funky theater where many good performances are put on. The theater is not very wide, but does extend back a ways with many rows. Try not to sit in the very back. There is a good bar in the basement (which is also where the restrooms are located). The building is for sale- hopefully the theater will not be lost if it is sold.
Awesome show. Nice space. Cool historic building. Masks, temperatures taken, social distancing. Wonderful staff. Excellent experience.
Small theatre, with a downstairs bar.Production of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde was good, putting the space to good use and atmospheric. Definitely not on the same scale as the shows on Broadway, but good. Makes for a nice evening out.
Show we saw was great, the complete experience not so much. Its a tight space when you enter, the box office immediately by the door. There was no-one there when we came in, but a few groups of people were crowded in, all waiting to pick up tickets. An employee came up and pretty much trekked at everyone telling them to go downstairs to the bar bc they were blocking the entrance. Down in the bar it was just as cramped bc thats where all the rest of the audience waiting to enter already was.The bar area was a bit dingy. The bartender was funny and nice. Not much space for the number of people they were trying to push down there. Despite the convenience, would rather have a drink a few blocks up.Someone amongst the crowd finally got information and passed word along that if you needed to pick up tickets not to worry just give your name when shattering the theatre. Would have been nice to have that info before hand, or a better system for wait areas.Other than that we enjoyed the visit and if another good show goes there, now that we know how will call works, dont mind going again.
Small and intimate venue. Can get very hot in the summer but every seat in the house is great. Went for a comedy show and was able to see and hear without it being too loud or overwhelming.
Cool, unpretentious venue. Gets very warm by the end of the show so definitely recommend layers. Visited the basement bar for a few pre show drinks before seeing James Acaster who killed it. Will definitely keep an eye on the schedule for future shows. For those interested in a late night cap or meal on the fancy side after a show - its a quick walk to Blue Ribbon which stays open late.
Worst theater experience in the city. Confusing seating chart does not indicate that seats go up against the wall. I had a seat against the wall (thinking it was an aisle) and had a panic attack and had to leave within the first couple minutes of the play (Fleabag) because I couldnt stop crying. They tell you to come early and then seat you late and it is really hot in there. Smallest seats, even a child would be uncomfortable. When folks say its intimate, what they mean is old and gross.
Saw Reborning here. Good show, typical theater. The stage was very nicely set up. We were told that there is a bar downstairs but we didnt make use of it.
This little playhouse hosts many diverse plays, musicals and even experimental performances.Downstairs there is the Huron Club, with a bar and small stage for standup comedy.Ive included a most recent photo of the charming set design and lighting! This is the set for Wild Dogs Under My Skirt....Its Samoan interpretive storytelling, a little bit of history on New Zealands takeover is done via offstage monologue :) I enjoyed it.
Really nice, intimate theatre. Gotta mention that the seats are built in a way that no one was blocking anyones view, which is a rare thing in these older establisents. One star taken down for probably the worst Gin and Tonic I ever had at their bar downstairs, but yaknow 🤷♂️🙃
Nice little theatre. Has a small bar in th basement.
Amazing, small off broadway theater. The venue has a basement bar where you can grab drinks before and after the show. The location is adjacent to a wide range of amazing restaurants and bars (in stark contrast to all the theaters in midtown).
This theater always has interesting shows from all over the country and the world. Recently rap guide to consciousness blew me away. Prior to that I had the pleasure of experiencing Rakugo at SoHo playhouse - traditional Japanese storytelling that is hard pressed to find anywhere outside of Japan. I’m excited by the offerings at SoHo Playhouse and can’t wait to see what’s next!
Great venue but hot as hell. Everything felt slightly sticky. Intimate theater, comfortable but old/small seats. Nice funky bar downstairs but even hotter than up stairs. Friendly staff.
Its a tiny space, so as a musician its a rather difficult place to perform in. When the AC went out, it was particularly uncomfortable to with in, though thats not their fault.Pros: close proximity to the stage in any seat, acoustic sound carries well enough to eshew microphones and speakers, and the crew is super friendly.Cons: musicians and cast will need to be flexible in the backstage area, as it is TINY.
For a small venue, this one has everything you need - a bar, comfortable seats (cushy but tight rows), and good sightlines. My first show there, Rap Guide to Climate Chaos, was super!
We had tickets for tonight. I had purchased online and they are closed for COVID an email would have been nice
This establishment is aweful and should be boycotted widely. My husband and I planned a surprise for our parents. We bought 6 tickets for Ashley Blakers show Goy Friendly. Two days before the show, my grandfather passed away. I called in tears begging for a refund. I explained that we spent more money than we could afford to just lose. At first Lola was understanding and promised to get back to me. Two days later, just am hour ago, at my grandfathers funeral, I got a call from Lola telling me that her general manager (Britt Lafeld) and Ashley Blaker himself!! Said no to my refund. They offered me tickets to another show - all options fell during my grandfathers Shiva call. They wanted us to come to a comedy show in the middle of mourning my grandfather!!! Absolutely disgusting!!!! This is not what we would expect from a small community theater and we should not condone this behavior. #boycottsohoplayhouse
Great small playhouse for limited products that can be very entertaining. The stage is small and seating count us small but comfortable and more personal.Restroom in basement accessable by staircase only.
Intimate playhouse. Great plays. Easy to find. Right across the street from the train. Walking distance to Village hang outs for food and drinks. Great date night, friends or by yourself. I watched to plays and both where extremely good.
It was my first time visiting the Soho Playhouse and i was very impressed. The vibes were excellent. I felt catered to and greatly satisfied with their Customer Service. I will be going back soon to chill and unwind
Josephine Baker story: Small theatre. Good seats. Drinks down at the bar. But the bartender needs to learn how to make margaritas. Worst ever, but best attitude when told we didnt like it.
OMG the show at this venue was hilarious! Very small venue. It gives you a NY feeling all the way...the Latina Christmas show was awesome! I needed a good laughter and I got it...
Hannah Gadsby is a beautiful force of nature. And yes her art is high art! Absolutely transformative experience...Powerful!Its was my first time at your theater. Loved IT Ill be back next Saturday night!
Such a gross place. Our non profit hosted a sold out show at Soho Playhouse and the doorman “Mr. H” spewed sexists & racists comments toward female staff. After letting the manager Brian know, he did nothing except ask if the female employee had “done something” to cause the unprofessional employees rage. We reached out to the board members and they also did nothing but make excuses. With so many venues to choose from I suggest staying far away from such a racist & sexist establishment.
Seats are a little small, but Im bigger than I used to be (arent we all). Bar downstairs was cozy, with great atmosphere and drinks before the show
Bar downstairs was great, Taylor the bartender is fantastic. Bathrooms are a bit small but functional. Theater was comfortable and show was excellent!
Small (cozy) space, but that is to be expected with NYC, haha. I saw a Daniel Sloss show last night, who has a Netflix Special. It was a great experience!! The bar downstairs was overpriced though.
Just been to see James Acaster gig here. This place is everything you want from a comedy venue - well stocked snug bar, intimate venue and the staff are the friendliest/most helpful people Ive met in NYC so far - Steve on the door did us a proper solid getting us in last minute
Cute small theater, I saw Bright Colors and Bold Patterns here it was a hoot such an amazing show. Theres a chill bar downstairs that has liveusic and comedy.
Very intimate settingExcept maybe seats can be arranged so that view isnt blocked when someone tall winds up sitting in frontEnjoyed show
Tooo small. Not even enough leg room for a short person. Book of Moron show was ok.
Tiny performance venue and bar in the basement of the Soho Playhouse. Great for solo shows and other intimate performances. Its a full bar thats a good place to hangout before or after the show upstairs.
Small, intimate theater. Great place to feel liked you are part of the show. No bad seats in the house.
So far 3 enjoyable shows by Summer in 2019 and at least 2 were from some Fringe Festivals in Hollywood & beyond... Jekyll & Hyde was an awesome at minimizing the multi-character into a two-hander with wonderful and quick character changes Plus a malleable get minimalistic set, all used to great humor and from Vancouver, Reborning with nuanced & dynamic performances in a not-so-very-ordinary subject matter... Ill definitely be back!!!
Don’t buy your tickets from Soho Playhouse, they are literally half the price on todaytix
Great theatre. If you are not interested in musical teatro and bussiness productions.. in turn, if you are interested in theatre.. soho playhouse is your place. Rapper Baba Brinkman specially recommended.
Enjoyed both shows I saw here. Very simple bar downstairs, theater is now paperless and seating is pretty comfortable
Two live theater stages. Currently seeing a number of plays there as part of an alt Fringe fest. Good place for simple shows.
Saw the Imbible which was a hilarious /history lesson on how alcohol was made. Very funny cast and great actors not to mention their voices when they sang could put me to sleep but in a relaxing positive way.
Historic venue ,4 floors. Great show lineup!
Enjoyed the play but the venue is very small. My knees were touching the chair in front of me. The bathroom was tiny.
Play was amazing. Actress had me in tears. Small room. Seats are not spacious. Close to chairs in front of you.
Very fun - historic building and sets were amazing!
One man show. Bob Dubac did a great job for 80 minutes. Very innovative.
Great small venue. Bar in basement. Seat pitch very tight, tall people need an aisle seat.
Latina Christmas Special was sooooo amazing.
Short run shows, great performances. One or two person acts usually. Always enjoyed. Always appreciated.
Great performance by Robert dubac. Very small theater
It’s a cute theater. It needs a bit of love but it’s a small room and there is no bad seats.
Small and Cozy theatre house. Can get very crowded and confusing very quickly. Still, its great watching a show there.
Hit or miss on the performances and quality of the atmosphere. When its lit its lit but there isnt much of an in between or consistant flow of good nigbts.
Went to see The Imbible: a spirited history of drinking. Super fun, they serve drinks during the show, and you learn a thing or two!
My mother and I had a fantastic time at this immersive experience of the election of a lifetime.
A nice small intimate theater, seats kind of tight.
Really nice neighborhood Charming little place whatever youre going to see there Im sure it will be worth it
Always a great show. Intimate black box, not a bad seat in the house!!
Cool bar downstairs. Gets warm in the theater.
This was a fabulous immersive experience. Filled with history, intrigue, corruption, twists and turns.
See Fleabag! amazing show. theatre is tiny and has the world’s smallest seats, but the show is worth it. shoutout to Phoebe 🤙🏾
Nice small theater with a diversity of voices sharing their stories. Shout out to Latina Christmas Special!!
Love their programming but the seats are very uncomfortable with less leg room than a small plane. Very, very dusty.
Nice intimate theatre with friendly staff. I saw Bright Colors and Bold Patterns and laughed the entire time!
Friendly little theatre with plenty of bar staff. Great off Broadway shows
LOVELY HOSTESSINTRIGUING SHOWVERY FAIRLY PRICED FOR THE AREA ITS INCLEAN TIDY RESTROOM WITHOUT A LONG WAIT TO GET IN IT EITHER.CONVIENIENTLY LOCATED FOR FOLKS COMING IN FROM STATEN ISLAND OR NEW JERSEY
DINGY...SEATS TOO SMALL AND UNCOMFORTABLE.THEY WERE LATE SEATING US FOR OUR SHOW.ON THE BRIGHTER SIDE...THE PLAY WAS SUPER FUNNY AND THEY HAVE A NICE DIMLY LIT BAR DOWNSTAIRS NEAR THE RESTROOMS.SO,OVER ALL IT WAS OK BUT NOT THE BEST.
Small but shows are unique with a bar at entrance. Love!
Small venue but neat and clean. Had a great time watching Oy Hey in a Manger.
Good threat in SoHo. I visited a one person Broadway show. It was great. Theater feels cozy.
I saw the Imbible, a show about the history of drinking, and its even in a space that is part of said history! The show was lots of fun!
The shows are amazing but the seats are demonically uncomfortable and unaccommodating for different bodied people
A larger than black box theater with a bar in the basement. A decent off Broadway house with a long history.
Great little place. They need to keep bar open before, during and after shows.
Seeing the one man show was spectacular, this play should be on Broadway, and definately expanded.
They have some great shows and staff but the main theater and the lounge are old and cramped
Small theater. You can get drinks there and bring them to the show
Wonderful venue for original theater pieces, comedy, magic, variety arts...!
Great intimate place to see a show. There are no bad seats.
Great location in SOHO for an off broadway theater. Right near the A,C lines too. Went to see The Imbible here.
A fun, informative and timely show with outstanding talent.
Small theatre with no bad seats. Great to see Baba Brinkman here.
Great digs. Saw a fun play with great talent. All seats great. Fun NY spot
Amazing 1 man show! Great staff and bar downstairs!
Fun time in this intimate venue, with Puddles Pity Party. Great show!
Lovely space to see off Broadway productions. Nostalgic in its old NY vibe.
Seats and rows are very tight and uncomfortable. The theare is right off of the 2 subway stop Spring Street.
Small intimate play house, with a bar downstairs. Attended a stand up show.
Went to see Happy birthday Doug. Fun little theatre. Cozy.

2022-07-08Soho Playhouse is one of NYCs best off-broadway theaters. I was here a few weeks ago to see a play, and there was a comedy show starting in their downstairs club after. My date and I were offered free admission cause we came from the upstairs show and Im glad we stayed. The comics were funny and the club has this awesome speakeasy vibe. It was a wonderful evening and I look forward to coming back.

2022-06-11Excellent spot to catch a play or live act. Small and cozy, you feel so close to the stage.

2022-09-20Definitely a great spot to see a very good comedian, Daniel Sloss (hed get 11 stars if it would let me). Even the back of the room is pretty dang close to the stage.The bar has a pretty decent selection of local beers (in cans).Big downside is that they really pack in the seats. Im not a huge guy at six feet tall but I was folded into my chair like origami. Maybe its tighter towards the back where I was but I strongly urge anyone taller than me to get there early and try and snag a spot with some leg room.

2022-05-03I thought Alex Edelman was brilliant. In my opinion he is a masterful story teller for a smart, thinking audience. His timing is impeccable, he’s quick witted, and good natured. He’s an observer of human nature and had a message for us all, of goodness and optimism, that came through between the laughs. This was really the best thing I’ve seen in many years!

2022-06-14Great little venue for a comedy show. The bar was decently stocked and staff was fairly friendly. Definitely would not be considered accessible but if thats not a factor its a great night out.
Review №6
2022-07-14Cute, vintage speakeasy downstairs has comedy shows twice a week. A hidden gem!
Review №7
2022-03-20An intimate theater where every seat is at least good and almost every seat is excellent. Arrive early and go downstairs to have a cocktail before the show. The lounge is intimate with a friendly bar staff.
Review №8
2020-03-03You do not need to get here early for a show if your show is in the theater upstairs. They shuffle you into a dark, dank basement until the show starts. The downstairs bartender was delightful and pleasant however the roach that crawled across the bar and across the floor was definitely off putting. Front row seats were not necessary for the theater upstairs and frankly too close to the stage. Opt for the second row or third for the best view and it is extremely dusty inside so be wary of that if you have allergies. Small quaint venue. Best bet is waiting outside until its time to go in rather than the downstairs bar, theres no windows or ventilation and it gets way too crowded. Good luck!

2021-11-28Loved “Tammany Hall.” Brilliantly cast, written, directed, and choreographed, with surprises at every turn. If you went twice, you’d have an entirely different experience. Audience participation at its best—nothing coercive or awkward, you’re just warmly invited into the narrative. It might just bring out your own improv skills, too. Highly recommended!

2022-07-23Much to do about #NYCArts #NYC Enjoyed seeing the ensemble performance of Port Chicago 50.
