Love this theater. I've seen some great shows here. I don't recommend ordering a double bourbon from the bar though. I nearly choked when I heard how much I owed.

Don't worry about good seats here. The mezzanine and balcony both have fantastic views for the price.

They produce some wonderful Broadway shows... but the theatre itself is huge with very uncomfortable seating - both seats and pitch and legroom + overpriced snacks/drinks

One of the best theaters on broadway. Big enough for giant musicals but the seats feel close and intimate to the action.

This legendary theater was home to the original broadway production of "Oklahoma!" and the site of the original Sardi's restaurant.

Massive mezzanine that can feel far from the stage. Best to aim for orchestra if you can.

After seeing Let It Be, go download the album by Graham Alexander on iTunes! Just search for his name. He's the guy that performed Paul McCartney's parts in the show!

Saw "Side Show" here. The seats are cozier than other theaters I've been to in the district.

Great theater and even from the balcony you have a great view.

Great show, LAME foursquare special. Don't waste your time waiting in line for a temp tattoo. Also, if you are taking the kids and are sensitive to swearing, sex and drugs, then proceed with caution.

Something Rotten is hilarious. St. James is a very good theatre. Maybe avoid first few rows, but can't really go wrong.
David BJuly 10, 2014
Fantastic show a NY must do.
BevJanuary 30, 2011
Get there 2 hrs early to get cheap lottery tix! But you'll be in the first 2 rows so watch out for the spit (spit zone). Awesome show!
Melissa CJanuary 30, 2011
Excellent show. A must see....even if you are not a Green Day fan. Very accurate portrayal of misguided youth.

Very nice theater, as most are in NYC.

Best musical I've seen. I couldn't stop laughing.

Can get close seats cheap if you don't mind partial view. Also, if you are a "lottery loser", you can get cheaper seats. Gonna miss BJA as St Jimmy though!
James PetersonJuly 20, 2014
$17 for two waters and candy. At this price It's justifiable to sneak your own in.
JayR CastilloOctober 10, 2010
Excellent show. I just wish Billy Armstrong is playing st Jimmy. The guy singing st Jimmy part sucks. But still love the show.
Elisa KFebruary 14, 2011

Sean SmithNovember 28, 2014

Stretch your legs well before you sit down. There is NO leg room in this old theatre.

Mezzanine seating was great. Awesome, awesome show!

Check in special is stupid. Just a temporary tattoo. Nothing that'll change your life. Not like the panties. That would have been like "hay"

Billy Joe Armstrong was great, amazing show! SEE IT!
