Vivian Beaumont Theater — Attraction in New York

This theater is a little confusing to get to. Solely because of its location and the fact that so many places and things surrounding it, its hard to know which entrance is for the theater and not something else. I literally walked into the staff section accidentally and had to have someone help me get to the ticket station. They need more signs and arrows directing people from the sidewalk. The entrance for this theater is up some stairs and once your in, you have to go down a level to get to the theater and ticket booth.

This theater is absolutely beautiful. They do have a consession stand that sells sodas, juice, beer, wine, etc. They also have candy as well. They accept cards and apple/google pay as well. All of the beverages come in a travel cup with the logo of the show your seeing. This helps to avoid spills.

I personally went here to see "The Old Man and the Pool". It was a really great show. The seats were nice however, they are a little close together. The seats feel like they are the equivalent of economy seats on a plane. I am a very short person and my knees did hurt because i felt like the seats in front were too close. The theater isn't super big but it is a nice size. It was really clean inside and staff was friendly.

I loved coming here and cant wait to see additional shows here. The area is beautiful so if you have time to walk around and take a few...

I attended McNeal’s play with high hopes, but what unfolded was a surprisingly tepid affair. Despite the grand potential of its themes, the narrative wandered aimlessly, as if unsure of its own purpose. Perhaps this explains why a number of audience members in prime seating succumbed to the most telling review of all—sleep.

And then there’s Robert Downey Jr., stepping out of the Ironman suit but, regrettably, not out of the character’s shadow. Downey delivers a performance that feels curiously flat, almost as if he’s still trapped in Tony Stark’s world, unable or unwilling to shed the cocky bravado that worked so well in film but falls short on stage. The nuanced complexities required of this role are left unexplored, rendering his portrayal lackluster and one-note, a bland presence in a production that needed much more from its star.

The Vivian Beaumont Theater is, as ever, a gem among New York’s venues, offering a perfectly balanced space where every seat feels intimately connected to the action on stage. The sound and sightlines are pristine, which makes it all the more frustrating when the production itself fails to engage.

It’s a shame, given the promise of the venue and the potential of the play, but what should have been an engaging evening left much...

How come a Broadway theater cannot be located on Broadway? This confused me as a kid. The Vivian Beaumont Theater is a Broadway theater located in the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts complex at 150 West 65th Street on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Compared to the rest, the Vivian Beaumont Theater can be considered a rather young venue. It was officially opened on October 21, 1965. It has a solid seating capacity of 1,200. The Vivian Beaumont differs from traditional Broadway theaters because of its use of stadium seating and its thrust stage configuration. It the last years, the Vivian Beaumont Theater has seen some amazing shows like The King and I, Oslo; Junk, My Fair Lady, The Great Society. Flying Over Sunset. Flying Over Sunset was the last show that was presented before the global lockdown. However, the most impactful show in the venue’s recent history is My Fair Lady. It tells the story of Eliza Doolittle, a flower girl who takes speech lessons from professor Henry Higgins, a phonetician, so that she may pass as a lady. The show revolves around Higgins’ struggles in teaching Eliza proper speech. Still he outdoes himself and manages to turn her into a fair lady, even gaining the interest of a respected fair gentleman in...
