Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Gorgeous, gorgeous theatre, and How To Dance In Ohio was PERFECT! The staff, the architecture and the show were all top notch.

I saw Goodnight Oscar at the Belasco theater yesterday afternoon, August 2, 2023. It should have been clearly stated on the ticket that Mezzanine row A seat 111 was obstructed view. I purposely bought the ticket so there wouldn't be anyone blocking my view of the stage. No where on the ticket did it say that the rail literally blocks half of the stage. I was forced to strain to see the stage for the entire length of the show.

Belasco Theatre sits on the corner of 44th and Sixth Avenue. Nice old style theatre with a good selection of materials. Recommended.

This may be the prettiest theater in New York that no one ever visits. The ceilings, art and architecture all around are grand. And the staff are experienced, warm and personable. Maybe you have to work in one of the big theaters and yell at 100 people per night to lose your humanity, But we were grateful for these kind folk.

This is a beautiful old theater. The interior is stunning as you can see from pictures others have posted. Saw "Girl From the North Country" and was positively impressed. The singers were very good, particularly the man who played Elias Burke and the woman who played Mrs. Nielsen. The song structure was a bit choppy with some well-known songs being reduced almost to snippets. I was also hoping to hear more of Dylan's most familiar music instead of more obscure songs. I liked the complex plot and the way the various characters' stories were interwoven. Overall, I'm very glad I got to see it.

The Belasco Theatre is a beautiful venue with great acoustics. Whatever play you see here, you will marvel at the theater.

I wanted to review GIRL FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY, which is now in previews and opens in early March. As I write this, there is one review of the show on Trip Advisor, and it is unfavorable. My experience was entirely the opposite. This is a beautiful show!

Bob Dylan’s music has been repurposed and rearranged (as the artist himself has done frequently) and woven through the bittersweet story of a boarding house and its guests during the Great Depression. While the play is very funny at times, it packs a tragic punch. This is not a show for the MAMMA MIA crowd who want to tap their feet and smile and avoid the world’s problems. Rather, it’s like an Arthur Miller play scored by the 20th century’s greatest songwriter. It will break your heart. It will make you think. You won’t see flashy dance numbers or witless spectacle.

The performances were excellent. The staging was smart and effective. This is one of the best shows I’ve ever seen.

The songs of Bob Dylan have never been treated so poorly. The woman next to me was bringing a friend of hers to the theater for the first time and had to tell him this is what awful theatre is like and not to give up. There was barely any applause and no standing ovation. People left at intermission. The woman on the other side of me was nodding off. For a show about the depression it was depressing.

We were staying next door in the Millennium Premier Hotel, and were happily surprised that Network (with 'Breaking Bad' actor Bryan Cranston) was playing in this Theatre. Big disappointment, however, when we saw the ticket prices on internet...
Next morning we passed by around 9 am and people were queuing in front of the Belasco entrance. We found out that they were in line for last minute tickets, including standing tickets which can't be bought online. Great idea, and approx. 1h later we had a standing ticket after the last seating row for 40 USD - a bargain. Ok, you have to stand for +2h but view is still great (I would say even better than the last few seating rows). This Theatre feels very old, authentic and cosy. With big screens you could easily follow all the action. And yes... the play itself was absolutely great.

Beautiful theatre and cozy. I love that about NYC theatres - they are small and cozy and not huge. No matter where you sit you've got a great seat. The Belasco is just off the beaten path by a smidge but close to great restaurants and all the insanity of Times Square.

Choose a partial view seat for network on the right side and missed maybe 1 or 2 scenes... but if you’re on the far side you will miss a lot as there are columns that also obstruct. But Network is NOT worth the price... Bryan Cranston was amazing but the tickets are too expensive
