What happened tonight was not OK. We didn’t do anything wrong and got kicked out. Were told to be quieter once and we became quiet. During the break the usher told us to leave and we didn’t argue at all. He still put his hands on me. When my friend asked to speak to the manager, the usher found her speaking to her, cursed her out, and told her that she «didn’t deserve the right to speak». We didn’t ask to come back it. We didn’t ask for a refund. We just asked for 5 minutes with the manager to hear our perspective and we got cursed out and told we don’t get to speak. No matter how loud we talked, this is not Ok.
Incredible show - so many multi talented artists. The performers work the bars and usher and basically participate in all aspects of your experience. Some of the most flexible, talented singing and dancing folks Ive seen - maximum butt cheeks all around. 10/10 do it! Cocktails are so so so good, too. The Alice in Wonderland performance is through August and is worth catching at least twice.
Always a great spectacle. Creative and fine dancing, acrobatics and singing. Sensual and fun. Suggestive rather than X-rated. We did the VIP seating which features lots of enjoyable food and drink but is a bit far from the stage. If you have sensitive ears you might want to bring ear plugs, since it is a loud performance.
Excellent company in Brooklyn. Watched nutcracker rouge here which was very well executed and presented. Came back to also see Alice in Wonderland and it was even better than previous experience. Had a blast. Excellent actors and singers. Very well executed performances.
Magical atmosphere. I went with my wife and another couple to see the nutcracker rouge. What an incredible show. Entertaining, the cast is professional. Great singing, great performances. My favorite parts were the ending and the tap dancing scene.Get there early and get a cocktail.At some point during the show they will also ask the audience to volunteer to buy them a cocktail....be prepared it you want to volunteer
WOW! What an amazing experience! The venue is tight, romantic, and over the top all at once. Every single person was exceptionally nice and seemed genuinely happy to see and serve you. The performers were all top notch and really went the distance making this show feel intimate and grand at the same time. The performance was entirely captivating, to the point where I didnt want to be bothered taking pictures (although I did a few). Go see Queen Hearts! You will NOT be let down.
This is why you live in New York, so you can see, no, experience remarkable artistic productions and entertainment like this. Imagine opera meets burlesque meets rock concert meets Broadway meets ballet meets Cirque de Soleil, meets variety show... and thats scratching the surface of what I experienced at the two amazing shows Ive seen here. Id go so far as to say, as a fan of all those formats individually, theres no one else bringing the disciplines together, no one else putting on such a creative,entertaining production anywhere else in New York.
Had the pleasure of catching the Queen of Hearts show based on Alice in wonderland my my God was my mind blown! Even went online to find the incredible individuals on social media and found their person music projects which I highly suggest since these preformers INSAINLY TALENTED!! Not only are they great at what they do but also very genuine an inspiring people. Do yourself a favor and go see their shows! (Side note their drinks are excellent and theatre is stunning)
Everything about this experience was absolutely stunning - from the red lighting and thickly sultry aura of the space; to every actor, singer, and server remaining in character and immaculately dressed; to the immense presence of vocalist Nicki B; to the acrobatics and superb choreography of the crew. Front row seats are a must, and this is a show I would happily watch again, and again. Bravo.
Probably my favorite place in NYC right now. It’s like the Brooklyn version of The Box, but without the hassle. The space is amazing and you’re immediately immersed into the experience from the moment you walk in the door. Quintessential NYC and a unique format you won’t find anywhere else in the city.
If I have to describe in few words I would say that this place is magical. Amazing, unexpected, seductive. Came to watch the same show (Nutcracker Rogue) two times in one week. Brought friends second time. They now coming to watch show second time as well and bringing other friends.Absolutely, highly, 100% recommend. Also if you are looking for an exquisite gift for someone, that would be it.However, you need to be comfortable with people of all genders being in strings and partial nudity. This is home of recognition of talent, art, beauty, equality and tolerance. No room for judgment and stereotypes. Be respectful.
I came here to see their production, Queen of Hearts. The theater itself is located in a hip neighborhood of Bushwick where there are great spots for dinner and drinks before the show. The theater has 2 bars with a great selection of drinks, but they are on the pricier side. The show was entertaining and has 2 entre acts, so drink lots of coffee before! Very entertaining and great music.
Their talent is hypnotizing.Their production approach creates an immersive experience, so it seems like theres not a bad seat in the theater.Although there have been repeats in their repertoire, they modify each show enough from each run that its worth seeing them again the next season its produced.
I go to mostly all XIV shows. Lately I feel like they dont keep up with the story line. Both queen of hearts and nutcracker rouge so much happening thats out of storyline. But great performance and performers. The drinks are in small quantity and very expensive. But yea good and interactive vibes.
Ive been going to their shows for forever and am always blown away. Raunchy, elegant seductive, glamorous and mind blowing. Have never left a show disappointed. Everyone is incredibly talented especially Marci the singing aerlist with her unmatched voice and skills, Storm who may have the most amazing voice I have ever heard off Broadway and the twins who are incredible dancers and the rest of the cast who are so talented it defies description. Cant recommend enough.
I love, love, love this theater and its company. My friend and I first visited for Nutcracker Rouge in January and enjoyed the experience so much that we bought tickets to Queen of Hearts as soon as we got home. Every aspect of the experience here is well thought out and beautifully implemented, and the performers are all amazingly talented (I could watch @operagaga sing opera in Louboutins while spinning and flipping around on an aerial hoop every day and never get bored). We love the front row petite chairs that make the stage your bar rail, but I dont think theres a bad seat in the house. I only wish I had more photos/video, but I end up focusing on the show so much that I forget to pull out my phone.
The entire show was a spectacular beautiful experience. From the moment you enter the door. There were so many unexpected and well choreographed moments. It gave Alice in wonderland a gorgeous fantastic makeover.And if you seen the previous shows, this one was by far the best. You can recognize the performers from the previous shows, and you can see how much they ha e grown and perfected their art. If you want a good time and to share an amazing g experience, then I highly recommend this show.
OH MY GOD! 🙌Théâtre XIV Queen of Hearts was one of the best shows Ive ever seen. Why? Well it is simple...Ive never seen anything like it.Visually this show is gorgeous!The music was unbelievably amazing and through out the show it continually enveloped me and carried me beautifully to the next amazing scene.The cast was phenomenal, beautiful, and absolutely dressed to perfection.The lighting felt as if it were another character in the story adapting to everything around it, including the audience which played its own role.The set? Where do I start? As soon as you walk in you are apart of the show and as you walk throughout this lovely space youre surrounded by a fantastical atmosphere and its inhabitants/cast.This show deserves 5 stars and nothing less.Do not miss out on this rare beauty!
Interesting show! The theatre was so unique and well put together. The singers were amazing - like opera, Grammy, Billboard chart amazing!!! The production of the show and the acrobatics were phenomenal! Would definitely recommend for someone who is looking for a fun date night activity or a big group for a birthday activity or tourists who want Broadway but don’t want to go into the city! FANTASTIC SHOW! Why not a five star? The burlesque show was a little long and I wish you could order more substantial snacks for such a long performance.
Impressive and annoyingly underrated! One of the best shows Ive ever seen. You would think at first its all about nudity and that its cheap. But its not! The choreography is amazing. The performance is shockingly good. The setting is really beautiful. Ill give it a well deserved 5 stars.
A friend recommended this show to me for a well deserved date night celebrating our 10th anniversary. We had such a great time. The show was amazing with a wide variety of acts. All the actors/dancers were phenomenal and gave 110% of their souls. It was so intimate and close that we can admire the highlighter gleaming off their cheekbones. We especially loved all the original tracks sung by some really talented women. The theater created such an ambiance that really embraced the theme and added such a decadent aura. I would recommend this to anyone and can’t wait to go again.
An absolutely amazing performance (Queen of Hearts) in a cosy hugely vibrant theatre atmosphere. With the performers right in front of you the performance is very intimate which is perfect for the nature of this theatre company combining wonderful stage presence with awesome vocal talents into a burlesque performance of in this case the classic story of Alice in Wonderland. This gives the impression of a safe accepting space where everyone is able to be what they are. The talent also runs the theatre and bar and love talking with the audience before and after. They have excellent cocktails which are entirely yummy. We got a couch for two package with champagne and while its a little bit of a budget stretcher for us it gave us a full on New York performance and was worth every cent. The play itself was simply amazing and we loved the venue.
I had an incredible, and I mean incredible, time at a Company XIV show. My guest and I were entertained and grinning from ear to ear from the moment the show began to its ending routine. Everything about the staging and venue inspires creativity. For example, the bar area and drinks were completely redone as an extension of the current show’s theme. I had such a great experience that I would see the same show many times over again, although I simply cannot wait to see other shows by the company as well. It’s unlike anything I’ve seen before: it’s not simply drag, or ballet, or acro, or burlesque, or theater. It’s creativity at its finest!
Are you reading this review because youre pondering whether or not youll enjoy the show at Theater XIV? Hesitant to spend money for fun you might not have? While youre sitting at home reading this, someone else is in your seat having a great time. I experienced Queen of Hearts last night! Its playful, sexy fun and very entertaining. The choreography is awesome and lemme tell ya, these performers WORK. Seriously, what are you waiting for?
This is one of the best spots to go to on a night out for a broadway show. I’ve always loved coming here because their customer service is excellent, and so is their performance. It sucks that my picture won’t be able to do them justice of how creative their theatre and the actors costumes are. I really enjoyed myself here every time I have visited. The seating has always been very comfortable and not traditional at all. The ambiance is beautiful in here because it’s always a mature crowd. I can’t believe that this theatre is not based out of manhattan from how great they are. They serve very good alcoholic beverages, and snacks depending on what you’re looking for. I would recommend their shows because they are totally worth the money and the experience.
I saw Queen of Hearts on a Thursday evening in row H and had THE BEST TIME. The experience starts as soon as you walk in and every detail supports the show and storyline. They beautifully and uniquely told the story of Alice in Wonderland, marrying cabaret with drag with fine arts with amazing vocals and more. I cant recommend this show enough.A few notes (that didnt take away from my experience but are good to know):If youre sensitive to smells, they really go hard on the incense to add to the show, so it can be a bit much.Drinks are ~$17/eachFood is limited to snack items (chips, popcorn, cookies)
* Warning you have to have an open mind before entering. *.As this was my very first public viewing of a burlesque show, I was definitely curious to how everything will play out. I saw Theatre XIVs rendition of Alice in Wonderland. I accept it for what it is, however, my score is 3/5 because I felt as though the shows length was longer than it should be, probably due to the stories tangent nature. The main issue I have is the price, I just dont see why anyone should be paying $200+ for seating in a theatre. I enjoyed the show, and the presentation was great, there were some truly spectacular performances, and the contemporary mix of songs was a nice touch.I recommend a visit!
This show is non-stop brilliance, entertainment, and jaw-dropping talent on stage. All Company XIV shows have been good, but this one beats all. From walking in the room to the last standing ovation -- amazing. The actors give performances that are mind-blowing, scene after scene of this cant get any better...and then it continues to amaze. Too bad I cant give this show 10 stars!
This was fabulous! So much more than I expected! The dancing was so well choreographed and performed, I was really moved. And the acrobatics were so immersive, right over our heads at one point! And all done in heels! Amazing! ! Costumes were wonderfully extravagant and colorful. Music was a mix of the classics and modern. Just overall terrific!!
Amazing, hauntingly sexy space that houses some amazing performances. The show put on here was astounding and the drinks were creative. It really feels like a small theater putting on a powerhouse show. Youll be served a drink by someone one minute, the next minute they are commanding the stage. Cast and crew are professional and approachable. A killer hip date night. Go before everyone else does.
Great show, great performances, great singing, beautiful costumes, some of the drinks were reasonably priced, some werent, but they were yummy. The only issue I had was that they got a bit political during the show, and though I fully support expressing your opinions and whether or not I agree with their views, it distracted me from the show and took me out of the world they were building.
10 out of 5 stars. Its difficult to describe what greets you when you cross the threshold of Company XIV. A mixture of Broadway, burlesque, and street performance come together in an explosion of talent and glitter. Set in an intimate and exquisitely decorated theater, the lines between stage and audience get blurred. Everything combines to produce one of the most unique and fabulous performances in NYC. Stop reading this and go buy tickets.
Incredible experience. The dancers are world class professionals and Marcy Richardson is an award winning opera singer. The beauty of the production and breathtaking moments of acrobatics and arias was beyond description. The venue is great - small and intimate, and there are lots of great restaurants around to grab a bite at before or after the show.
To spoil all wow, wow, wow, amazing reviews I would like say I didnt enjoy the show(Nutcracker) that much. Place is all smoked up with burning incense (sort of like used in Ortodox Churches), it gets very uncomfortable and hard to breathe for that reason. I did enjoy some of performances, but is it a play? musical? ballet? circus? all that mix of performances make absolutely no sense if you combine it into one show. There is no plot, no story, no emphasize for any character and you dont get too fascinated with performances because again, this show doesnt know what it is. This kind of entertainment is definitely not for everyone. Im giving it 3 starts because I believe artists are doing their jobs really well, but for reasons mentioned above Im taking out 2 stars.
Offensively decadent and outrageously brilliant in every respect possible. I never really understood this art form until now, and now totally get it...Beyond the obvious talent and abilities of the entire cast, the costumes, make-up, lighting and direction merit particular note....And the enjoyment and energy displayed by the dancers was so evident...it was a real celebration of talent.I would be going large with a show like that on a global tour.I acknowledge that I am massively exuberant, but please bear in mind that I have travelled from Derbyshire UK, where the only extravaganza we have is the annual dry stone wall building competition.If I was to find one point to criticise then I would clearly be someone with too much time on their hands.Well done to all...
A friend and I went to see Cinderella at the theater and I was taken aback by how much fun I had. The play was remarkable. Contortionists, acrobats, men in ladies lingerie... What more can one ask for? The entire ensemble was amazing. And dont get me started on the Fairy Godmother. Her voice was from the heavens. The theater wasnt too big nor too small. It was the perfect size and provided an intimate atmosphere so everyone was able to get in the zone and really enjoy the intricacies of this kinky rendition of Cinderella. I look forward to returning to the space and seeing what other great plays are put on in the future.
Recently saw Nutcracker Rogue. Truly incredible experience from the minute you walk in the door. Seductive, exquisite, sensual. Singing, dancing, acrobatic hoop work. There is sexual content so if are offended by things relating to sex, I would recommend you skip it. But, if you want to be blown away by great performances and see fantasy come to life, check out their show!
This show was amazing and so worth the trip out to Brooklyn. It was a notch above Cirque Du Soleil in how thorough the experience was. From the moment you walk into the venue, you’re already part of this other world that Théâtre XIV has created.The performances were stunning in how intimate yet risqué they were. Every performer has their own performance super power, which really made it an evening full of powerful moments (not like the usual broadway formula where there one or two “wow” moments).
Amazing performances, beautifully designed space, excellent sound design, but bring earplugs as it can get to hearing-damage levels. Note: if you sit in the front row you are in mini-chairs tucked under the edge of the stage, putting you intensely close to the action, and definitely in the splash zone. Not great for tall people, or the shy.
Perfect! One word to describe everything. Cheers to the Creative Director, Dancers and everyone in the team. Magnificent and very creative choreography! As a dancer, I salute this dance company. Love every bit of the performance. Costumes are fabulous! Ok! I cant stop saying good things. Lol. Keep it up!!! Ill definitely watch another performance again.
Théâtre XIVs Queen of Hearts show was magnificent to behold. Its as though they threw immersive theatre, burlesque, circus, and dance into a cocktail shaker and garnished it with glittering costumes and gorgeous trappings and props. The performers are exceptionally talented and the show held quite a few surprises. Perfect for a date night: get a cozy couch in a good spot near the stage and get all dolled up.
This is by far, the BEST Company of Dancers, Singers, & entertainers with exceptional choreography & attention to every detail⭐ I have been to Moulin Rouge in Paris & Cirque de Soleil in Vegas & this Company captures my attention more than both of those put together!⭐ So much so, that I have revisited their shows almost every season for the last 4yrs! Truly a night You will never forget!⭐
I thought the production was amazing. Drinks were really well flavored and generous with the alcohol.My only disappointing moment came at midway break as my partner was asked to stop taking photos with a digital camera which is why I took off a star.While I dont argue a venue having a right to ask people to not engage in photography, we were actually asked to take photos and post them on the internet. I didnt understand the issue or what the difference was between taking a photo with a phone or a camera (both with no flash).Was very dissapointing and put a damper on the evening being that we timed our trip from Australia to New York to actually be able to see the show once we became aware that the season was extended.
THE best time in NYC! Truly. Every single new show is more sexy, fun, seductive, intoxicating and addictive than the last. Sadly, its not for the prudish nor bigoted heart. Luckily, its for everyone else who knows how to have a great time, and craves great entertainment that leaves you breathless.Imagine being transported to the Moulin Rouge in Paris. Except, you only have to come to Bushwick. There, you will step into a world of fantasy, beauty, astounding artistry and deliciously decadent delights. Dont say I didnt warn you: you will want to come and come again.
Show was great however......today I received a call from my bank asking me if I placed a charge on my debit card for Mc Donalds for $37.85 in San Diego.....I live in NY. I of course answered no. The last charge was at their bar in the theatre. The bank told me that within minutes after the purchase at the bar, feelers went out searching my cards status. These people are thieves!!! See the show but use cash!!!? Very disappointed!
First time in NYC...Got to see Kinky Boots and To Kill a Mockingbird on Broadway, which was life-changing. Had FAR more fun watching (experiencing) Company XIVs take on the Nutcracker. From the moment you walk in the door, this is an experience you will NEVER forget. Dont want to share photos it go into details...It would only spoil the fun!
Experienced this refreshing rendition of Cinderella with my fiancé. Location is Williamsburg, and we enjoyed a day out in the area with this as the main event.The genius is expressing a household tale in burlesque AND ballet! We were sooo very captivated immediately on entering the French budoir themed venue and mingling with the performers.Everything made for a very immersive experience, the theatre was even fragranced! The drink selection was also fun… they sell a version of Absinthe :)We hope there are other productions in the near future and we plan of seeing this show again.
Not for kids, but every show these guys put on is so amazing, I dare anyone to look away. Theyre the crossroads of avant garde and classic as choreographer Austin McCormick obviously knows the rules and breaks them with abandon. They have over-the-top rococo costumes, unique musical arrangements, and non-traditional casting (imagine Cinderallas stepmother played by a male dancer or a matador played by a woman); but the performers are clearly classically trained (said male dancer performs adagios, retires, and amazing acrobatics... in heels! Or said matador is suspended by her legs, upside down on a ring, singing an aria... and does not miss a note!) Whether its Cinderella, Snow White, The Nutcracker, Paris (from Greek mythology), or even Ferdinand the bull, these Olympic caliber performers will give you a jaw-dropping, amazingly-choreographed performance thats naughty but never sleazy.
Its truly amazing to find such a diverse crowd in this theater performance place.Quite intimite and simply reminds me of an undeground bar with a Parisian feel and flair.The program presented was professionally done with talent amazing costumes,special numbers with.staff who were welcoming and friendly,the ambience is certainly captivating and leaves a lasting visual memory long after you have left tje place.I wanna be a rabbit living in that hole!My friends had a super great time and could not wait to see the next program,this place puts Buswick on the MAP!
If you buy tickets for this show you better hope you dont have a family emergency I got vip tickets for my husbands birthday unfortunately our granddaughter came 2 weeks early after numerous phone calls we ask if we could have dates changed they were unwilling to help us I did not ask for a refund for the over $300 tickets we only wanted to come the next week they were not willing to do anything I actually live in the community this theater is in such a shame will not recommend
I got tickets for my husbands birthday unfortunately our granddaughter arrived 2 weeks early and we had to rush to north Carolina I contacted the theater and ask to change dates they were unwilling to change our tickets for the next week such a shame was not able to get refunded or dates changed what a waste of over $300.00 and this theater is in my community such a shame will diffinetly not recommend

2022-01-24Just saw the Nutcracker Rouge... Cant put in words how amazing the performance was! Cant wait for next one Seven Sins. Not only do the performers preform they also run the background. Going back happily. I can be pricy but totally worth the price and experience. Just make sure you leave any biass at the door. This is very friendly place!

Its an extravaganza for your senses.. absolutely mesmorizing.. breaks all barriers when it comes to intimacy between audience and performers, costumes, talent... jaw dropping! Definitely worth the price.

2022-06-17The show was very sensual, the artists had unbelievable skills, and the choreography was excellent. If youve never experienced a burlesque circus, come see an amazing one. If you have, then you know what to expect and youre in for a treat.
