We purchased 'partial viewing' tickets so I was a little worried. I needn't have been we didn't miss any of the action and I would buy these again, at $55 a ticket these are a steal! As for the show I thought it was amazing, I can't wait to see it again in london some time soon

Big theater, great spectacle venue. Wonderful production. Drinks expensive but would be okay if bartenders weren't condescending.

Our seats were great, there were plenty of ushers to guide you where you needed to be. The singing, the acting, and the costumes were spectacular. We loved it!

Theater was nice. My seat was not comfortable though. At intermission, RUN to the bathrooms. There will be long lines for both men and women. They push so much of their Wicked memorbilia that you feel like you are in a flea market. Not the theaters fault, but don't plan on catching a cab when the show gets out at... More

I felt comfortable, it was a very nice theather with a amazing show (Wicked). I can't say anything against it, as I don't know how good the other Broadway theatres are. But as a tourist, it was amazing experience and I wasn't tired from sitting in their chair for 2.5 hours...

The Gershwin is categorized as a Broadway theater. Your hotel may have show coupons. Or go to TKTS booth in Times Square to see what's on sale -- then get a coffee and get on line to chat with tourists and New Yorkers about what's the best show to see.
