Nice theater which has been updated. Came here to see a soldiers play and enjoyed it. Great story and excellent acting. Theater is right on 42nd street. We sat in mezzanine and were in 3rd row with full views. Had a good time.

Very nice and comfortable theatre. Came here to see David Alan Grier and Blair Underwood in a Soldiers Play. Great performance by all and loved seeing these two actors in person. The theatre has comfortable seats and a good layout design. Staff was helpful.

We saw A Soldiers Play here and had seats in the 1st row of the balcony. The seats were comfortable(Im 65) and it looked like you could see from any seat in the house.It was a great place to see a show.

Very nice place. I’ll come many times in the future. Always walking in Times Square and we just came inside of this beautiful theatre to find a good show, a warm place, good price, drinks... I recommend this place 100%

Great venue in the heart of Times Square. Have seen several plays here and have enjoyed the experience. Just saw A Soldiers Play. Would recommend any show here that wets your palette..

My seat was great. A lot of the performers seemed to speaking directly to me. Plus, I had room to stretch my legs. The best part was the question and answer period after the show. I have never experienced that type of interaction with a theater cast. Great job being interpersonal and authentic. Please see A Soldiers Play.

This theatre is perfect! Very clean and bathrooms on multiple floors allowing you to go during intermission without the long excessive lines. Recently saw A Soliders Play and it was phenomenal! Id give it 10 stars if I could.

We saw A Soldiers Play headlining David Alan Grier and Blair Underwood. Since we came in out of the rain with umbrellas, the theater offered plastic umbrella bags. Check in was easy, and seating was also easy. We were in the upstairs mezzanine (stair and elevator access) in the middle. So we excused ourselves about 21 times to get to our seats. Excellent view of the stage. All actors projected their voices well. The theater seating allows one to be close to the stage to enjoy the facial expressions of each actor.

A beautiful theater with comfortable seats. If you arrive early, then there is a lounge on the fifth floor with plenty of seats and concessions. We were in the last row and still had a decent view.

Beautiful, if aging, theatre. The ceiling has gorgeous painted stars. Only complaint is the seating is a little tight, with not much room for leg movement. Staff were great.

Lovely theater with a 5th floor penthouse and a lower level lounge. Smaller and more intimate located a 1/2 block from the Port Authority on 42nd street. Near Times Square. We saw A Soldiers Play by the Roundabout Theater. Excellent play, excellent theater. The night we went there was a talk before the play that was very insightful.

First time visiting this theatre and it is quite beautiful. I loved the layout and design. We had seats in the upper right mezzanine but I still felt very comfortable and had a good view. The intricate details along the ceiling were impressive. Staff was courteous and helpful. Bathroom near top floor was only one stall so I think they should remodel to fit more. I had to walk down a couple flights of stairs to get to the bottom level bathrooms. There are elevators but they were too packed.

A bit small but pretty cool place. Mezzanine seats are placed pretty well so the person in front of you doesnt block your views.

Review №36

The show was great from what I saw, but I had a partial view seat. Discounted of course, but it really was an almost no view seat!. I had to stand the whole time to see anything at all. That was very disappointing. I would not have paid for that seat if I knew. I have purchased partial view seats before, but could always see 75% of the stage. I could see nothing from this theatres partial view, and Im tall!

This theater was poorly design. Our seats are on the second floor its long narrow rose that can only be entered from each end! Ugh... NIGHTMARE. Also the seats are so close together and theres absolutely no leg room. By the intermission my knees and ankle were in such pain I couldnt wait for the opportunity to stand up straight

I enjoyed the play and the work a lot. The ushers were terrific.Having one long very long aisle way I have never liked. And it stops me from coming there as often as Id like. For one thing, God forbid , if theres ever a fire to get through the aisle way would be impossible. Im sure you have something to help with that. But, also every time someone gets up to go to the bathroom they have to go through a really long way and lots of people that have to stand up over and over again. And when people are just being seated and then again at intermission its nonstop up and down to let people go by.I have a bad back and standing up over and over again was ridiculous. But everything else was fine.

Saw Book of Mormon here, it was amazing. The stage and theatre is not massive so you can get a really good view. We sat in right orchestra 3rd row, which was awesome. Youre off to the side but its cheaper and you get to see the actors faces.

Wow, what a find? Five (5) stories of wonderfulment, yet a lovely, small, and quaint venue. The fifth floor in particular is a great event space, with small bar, where many pre-performance lectures are held. $$ out of $$$$$ using the TixToday (or similar App). I would recommend the American Airlines Theatre.

The largest of the Roundabout Theater Companys three stages, three American Airlines Theatre is a beautifully restored place, and an excellent place to see a play. The sightlines and sound are good, the little lounge upstairs is nice. Maybe a bit better food options would be a plus. Otherwise, all good.

Came here for a Roundabout show and was really pleased. I was in the third-to-last row and still had an excellent view – each row is quite a bit higher than the one in front of it so there’s no risk of not being able to see if you’re behind a tall person. The leg room is quite decent too.

I just saw Tom Stoppards Travesties here. I thought the place is huge, and we were seated somewhere at the orchestra near the stage. Nice, huge performance space. And I was happy they had the exit doors opened right after the show was over. Were on the street as quickly as possible.
