Lena Horne Theatre — Attraction in New York

Just been to see Six the musical it was fantastic but the evening was so ruined because the theatre was so cold, it didn’t seem to be a general temperature issue more like a freezing draft behind us, it felt like the doors to the street outside was left open in February?? We were in row L 13 rows back from the stage 6 rows in front of the street doors I managed to talk to an usher during the show only because I was sitting at an asile seat on the orchestra floor Row L the usher was down to stop someone filming otherwise I had no chance to talk to anyone because I wouldn’t disturb other audience members by getting up in the middle of the show, it didn’t go unnoticed by everyone that the usher was wearing a giant puffer coat to keep her warm , she told me she would talk to the House Manager ( she seemed to be sincere at the time ) but there was no improvement, other people were slipping on their coats if they were able to without causing a fuss , I couldn’t as I was sitting on mine all I could do was wrap my scarf twice around me it helped a bit but my back was still freezing and beginning to hurt. As I said before the show was fantastic the theatre looked beautiful the seats were as comfortable as you could hope for in a theatre but why the doors were open was beyond comprehension. I spoke to the House Manager after the show ( who was also wearing a very warm looking black coat ) she informed me that no one had told her of any problems I had no reason to doubt her, but the fact was informed or not she should have been aware why were the staff all bundled up in their winter coats inside if there wasn’t a temperature problem, she lady herself was very apologetic, for the temperature, for the the usher not telling her etc etc she told me she would speak to the usher and the house engineer, and inviting us back again another night, but we were tourists from Ireland ( which is itself a cold country so it not like I’m some delicate person unused to the cold ) I am I’m just unused to it inside a full theatre during a show. So what was a night I had been looking forward to for such a long time I booked it in November and it wasn’t cheap total $ 456.30 a lot of money ( well to me anyway I saved a long time for my holiday ) I don’t know if this was a once off or a general problem, my American friends tell me that the country has such a love of aircon that even the winter months the are known to run it full blast. So just be warned, wear your thermals , and pray they close the doors ,failing that ask them if they have any spare big puffer coats...

As a San Franciscan traversing the NYC theater scene, I found the Lena Horne Theater an authentic and charismatic gem nestled amidst the bustling city. Size isn't everything, as they say, and this medium-sized venue truly proves it.

Situated in the mezzanine, I was pleasantly surprised by the clear and intimate view of the stage - a testament to the theater's thoughtful design. Though ticket prices vary across seating, I'd argue the differences in view are slim to none. If you're not keen on paying a premium, rest easy - there doesn't seem to be a bad seat in the house.

The theater itself is an ode to ornate craftsmanship, from the richly detailed box seats to the regal ceiling. The ample shoulder room was an unexpected delight (shoutout to my fellow broad-shouldered comrades), making up for the usual leg space crunch. Did I mention the comfort of the seats and the sparkling cleanliness despite foot traffic? Yes, they nailed that too!

Now, let's talk showtime. "SIX" at the Lena Horne Theater was a sight (and sound) to behold. The excellent acoustics amplified the stellar cast's energy, and the strategic lighting drew us into their world effortlessly.

In sum, the Lena Horne Theater gets a well-deserved four out of five stars from this West Coast visitor. It may not be the showiest venue, but its charm lies in its simplicity and functionality. If you're after a cozy, comfortable, and immersive theater experience, then Lena Horne has...

ve been to six a week ago, and while I very much enjoyed the show and been a fan for an long time, I was spoken to very rudely by an Elderly Woman Usher in the Aisle. I made sure to not take out my phone or record, nonetheless capture any moments while the girls were performing. I’ve been to many shows in the past, and I already know how annoying it is whenever someone gets flashed to not take out their phones.Let alone, I know myself to not Take out my phone. I patiently waited until the very end while everyone was clapping, and the cast posed onstage. She made me go through my camera roll, and demanded very rudely that I go into my recently deleted and fully delete the picture or else I wasn’t allowed to leave the theatre. Of course, I had to and I didn’t wanna make a scene and hold up the people that wanted to leave. I just find it utterly ridiculous that I see people take pictures and even record some Videos and post them in here or on TikTok and there wasn’t any problem. I don’t know where she felt comfortable in demanding that I give up my phone, and she had to personally watch as I delete the picture. I sat in the Mezzaine, Row J, Seat 6. If by chance, the theatre crew sees this, or anyone who has had experiences with the staff or this lady in particular, please share your experience or opinion.

Below is a picture of an example as to what I took a picture of. Of course, I don’t have the actual picture of...
