A super funny, unexpectedly poignant and challenging show - and probably not what you think based on the name. One of my favorite off Broadway performances of the year. #vero #theater #nyc

I had not been here since I was in high school. Very nice keep up. The pouches for phones were interesting. They offered wine for purchase when you arrived which was very nice. Bathrooms were clean.

This theater was a nice surprise. The intimate setting makes viewing the stage a welcoming to the experience of the acting or event. (saw a play) Thank you.

You shouldnt need an excuse to visit the village but the Minetta Lane Theater is as good as any. My wife and I just enjoyed a Colin Quinn show here this evening preceded by dinner at a local favorite. The theater provides an intimate and personal venue for the creative arts. This was our third or fourth time visiting...we will return soon.

Great size theater, well run. You have to bag your cell phone though. Make your calls/ texts before entering the building.

An intimate theatre. Fabulous! We say a great show from great seats. The staff was wonderful. We would return. We say “the way she spoke”. The performance was excellent. This performance is a must see!!

I liked the location of the theater is like not even being in the city. I also like the intimacy of the theater. I would like for the No phone policy to be more strictly enforced but otherwise it was great.

Intimate Off-Broadway location for a fantastic performance. Located near NYU and Washington Square Park, there are tons of eateries nearby to grab a bite before or after the show.

It was great! Very welcoming. However, bring snacks, as a candy bar that would be $1 is priced at $4

Warm Friendly Staff. Intimate Theatre. Saw Commons BLUEBIRD MEMORIES. Attended with Carol Maillard and Louise Robinson (Sweet Honey In the Rock). Met Whoopi Goldberg, Dan Katz and Other Great Folks! Still Savoring the Magnificence of the Evening and Commons Outstanding Performance! BRAVO to the ENTIRE TEAM!

Went here to see. The way she spoke with Kate del Castillo. The staff was great. First time seeing a one person show. Kate is an amazing actor. She made me feel the emotion of the people in the story.

Saw Colin Quinn on a whim. Hes not my favorite comic by a long shot but he put on a very good show. The theater itself great. Felt intimate without being crowded and it was a sold out show. Super clean in all respects.

Minetta Lane Theatre is an intimate theater in the heart of the West Village. It seats just over 300 people and was a great venue for the one man show we saw (Colin Quinn: Red State, Blue State). The seats were comfortable, and I am not a slim person. There are plenty of places to grab a drink, a quick bite, a full meal, or a body piercing nearby. Seriously, this aint Broadway!

I love Kate Del Castillo. She is a great actress for The way she spoke.The AC temperature was even, not to cool not too warm.

Review №25

The Minetta Lane theater is right in the heart of the Village. A small cozy theater with plenty to see and do nearby. Close to NYU, Washington Square Park, Sheridan Square, and many food and drink offerings.The last night of Colin Quinns show and he didnt disappoint. A great night of laughing at what otherwise may be the drudgery of politics in the US right now.

Kate Del Camillo was amazing, a performance with tremendous depth. This theater is small, all good seats and outstanding acoustics.

Review №27

While the lights may shine brighter on Broadway and the crowds may flock to get tickets to Hamilton, some of the best theater happens away from the Great White Way. Minetta Lane Theater is tucked away in the West village, putting on off beat plays, one person shows and the whole gamut of theater and performance. Ive been here to see several one man shows including Collin Quinns latest stand up shows.The theater itself is small, barely clocking in at 300 seats. Because of the small square footage, most seats are about the size of an economy airplane seat, packed in one on top of the next. Otherwise the theater is just like many other small to midsize play houses across the city - simple hallways and no ornate dressings on the walls or floors.Overall a very nice place to see a good show without all the hustle and bustle of midtown and Broadway

Seeing Harry Clarke was last minute opportunity- great show! Laughed heartily for great evening.Seats in balony are extremely upright & tight squeeze but glad it didnt stop me. If orchestra seats are better, Id go for that.See this show! Our hotel got our tickets & location was good but seats were a B.

Good, intimate theater. Just beware that if a tall person sits in front of you, the visibility will be very compromised.

Could DEFINITELY use a foul weather awning outside prior to house opening. Clean space. No bad seats; great site-lines. Acoustics are good. Bathrooms downstairs - no line for men; line for women snaked up the stairs into lobby.

Minetta Lane generally has good productions but the venue itself desperately needs renovation. Seats are way too small & uncomfortable - you are literally crammed together.

Small theater, very chill. Saw Red Roses Green Gold and it was pretty cool but you have to like the music of the Grateful Dead.Story was terrible but the performers were amazingly talented - super high energy, great voices, strong instrument skills, and just plan solid artists.3 stars for the story5 stars for the performers

Review №73

Small, old, quaint theater. Sure, the seats have less leg room than an airplane, but thats what you get when every seat is within spitting distance of the stage. High marks for interesting plays and attractive productions that, at least on the evening I went, attract local luminaries like Meryl Streep.

Cool little theater on almost hidden trapdoor street between crazy crowds of McDougal St & 6th Ave. Small intimate place w/ great acoustics. Saw multi-media show The Portal tonight with both live & recorded music and it sounded great, balanced perfectly. Would definitely return to see another show here that I was interested in...Thanks

This was such a nice Intimate Theatre. The seating was comfortable and roomy. Rather large stage. As for the show we saw, Revolution in the Elbow of Ragnar Agnarsson Furniture Painter, yeah not so good. The music was great but the plot was stupid and silly. It had some funny moments but it was bad! However, Ive seen worse! Liked the theatre though.
