George Street Playhouse — Attraction in New Brunswick

AVOID THIS PLACE! Notorious for putting on low budget versions of productions. The tickets come at a beyond premium price ($125 - for comparison, Broadway tickets cost $75 or less even), but the production is anything but. We saw 'The Shark is Broken'. The play is about JAWS. Before the play even started, the person speaking upfront beforehand who seemed to have some role in the production stupidly said "I haven't even seen Jaws". We were baffled. This was the first major red flag.

The production starts and it is 3 dudes arguing, that's it. No set changes. No jokes. The props (or should I say, singular "prop") were bare minimum, and after about 20 minutes we had had enough. I asked the person at the front if we could have a refund, and to top things off, they were very rude to me. A snarky grin and a "Ohhh no no, we don't do refunds".

AVOID. THIS. THEATER. Grab a train into Manhattan for cheap and see an actually good, award winning play for half the price.

By the way - they kept pushing back the "debut night", and when we finally got to go, the very small theater wasn't even all the way full. The warning signs were obvious, you can feel it when you walk in. We were waiting on this, and to describe our experience even as a 'huge disappointment' is a massive understatement. I would give George St 0...

First the bad news. Good luck finding the place. No signs on building indicating it is the George St. Playhouse. When I suggested better signage I was told it is the PAC. Then why do the tickets say George St. Playhouse? And why is the theater called George St. Playhouse? The actual theaters inside aren't even called George St Theater. And why is there nothing on the building indicating it is the PAC. Floor mats say it when you look down walking in. And, there is no sign or Marquis indicating what is currently playing. And on line there are two addresses, 9 Livingston Ave. and 11 Livingston Ave. Go figure. Not a very nice response from desk staff. Frustrating. The good news is that the production of Midwives was wonderful. Great writing, great sets, lighting and sound. The theater itself is beautiful, lots of leg room and comfortable seats. Small and intimate theater. If you're going to the George St. Theater, it is right next to the States Theater. Wish...

I went to see ‘the Shark is Broken’ last weekend. Horrible experience and 125$ I’ll never get back. The host meant to kick off the show was cynical and unfunny; capping it off he proudly stated he had never seen Jaws and basically talked down to the audience for watching fictional movies. The play itself was boring, 99 of it was just the characters arguing. Me and my friends walked out before the half way mark. We were refused a refund and only after an exchange of emails we were offered tickets to another show. After our experience we would much rather have our money back then go through the same thing again. Terrible experience, this venue really needs to get their...
