The Alice Griffin Jewel Box Theatre — Attraction in New York

Posting this review a few months later. I originally went December 2023

The Theater: What a cute, intimate theater! I love the overall space and there seemed to be an addition theater in there as well. I also liked the waiting area space too, where you could grab a drink at the bar before the show.

About the show: Talk about walking in blind! I went into this experience completely blind, and didn't look up what the show was about at all. It was my friend's birthday, and I just decided to take him along with me. When we sat and started watching the show, it was definitely not what I expected. It was like watching a funky, psychedelic, Bill Nye the science guy, Vsauce from YouTube Mashup.

To be honest, I think the reason why I ended up enjoying it as much as I did is because I really believed in Patrick Olson himself. You can tell that this feels like his life work and he is 1000% believing in this project and is so grateful that folks are coming in and watching it. He had something so very infectious about his personality that made me enjoy what I was watching. The singers were also top-notch.

Every song was a new lesson, which made for an interesting format. It's started with a philosophical monologue that one into a song. I feel like if I knew the music beforehand, I would've enjoyed it more, but hey, that's on me being blind going into it.

Overall, I liked it. Because I like watching science videos I particularly enjoyed it but if you're not super into science, it might not be for you and that's OK. Even if you aren't into science like that, it makes for very...

Intimate theater that I can not imagine a bad view from any seat. The only picture I took inside was the view from my seat. I am 5'8" and average build and had plenty of seat and leg room. The bathrooms were large, clean, and well-stocked. There are elevators available if you require them.

Pictures were not permitted during the performance. I did not take as many helpful pictures at this theater as I would have normally. The show, Emergence by Patrick Olsen, had me overflowing with the joy and love he speaks of. I did get to shake his hand and tell him I was aware. It's always a pleasure finding another.

Please, go see this show whether you understand what I am babbling about or not. If you are awake, you will enjoy meeting a fellow understanding soul. If you wonder what I am going on and on about, you just might get a glimpse and leave with that child-like wonder and the understanding of pure joy and pure love.

Love always ❤️ Remember who...

It is the worst place to ever get into performing. They will lie to you and say that they openings then turn around and say we have started new management and all the rules and stuff have changed. Do not go to this place to even remotely perform. They do not respect the art form of entertaining. It says is accommodated under age but then once you email them and ask them they turn around and say no.

If you guys are going to want performers who sell out tickets constantly you can not sit there and think like a immature child and lie all the time. Or you will never make any...
