Went to see the play The Sound Inside at Studio54 starring Mary Louise Parker. Going to Studio54 has always been on my bucket list as I was a kid in the heydays of the 54 so getting to be inside the infamous and iconic venue was so much fun!! Whoever renovated the venue did a fantastic job as you would never know it was a nightclub/disco nowadays. The chandeliers featured are from the first and second floors of the theater. The disco ball is in the lobby right when you walk in the door a nostalgic nod to the buildings infamous reputation.

Came here to see Children of a Lesser God play with Joshua Jackson and Lauren Ridloff. Historic theater and bang in middle of Midtown West. Seats were very comfortable and plenty of legroom in Orchestra seats. We were in row K. Bar looked cool too even though we didnt get any drinks. Also saw lifespan of a fact with Daniel Radcliffe in it. Excellent play. Theater is a bit dated if anyone is looking for a more updated feel.

A former iconic disco nightclub, Studio 54 is one of the most – preferred venues on Broadway. It was first opened as the Gallo Opera House. It operated as an entertainment venue under various names until 1942, when CBS began using it as a radio and television studio dubbed Studio 52. It was remade into a club. The Club has achieved a cult status for many reasons and was a popular place for celebrities. However, it was sold in 1980, and was sold, opened and closed several times.Since November 1998, the site has served as a venue for productions of the Roundabout Theatre Company and retains the name Studio 54. A separate restaurant and nightclub, Feinsteins/54 Below, operates in the basement of the building. There’s even a record label there called Studio 54 Music.Probably the venue with the most colorful past, it operates as a musical theater today with a capacity of 1,006. The most notable shows presented on Studio 54’s stage are Kiss Me, Kate; The Sound Inside, Caroline, or Change, Children of a Lesser God, The Lifespan of a Fact, Cabaret, and Assassins.Caroline, or Change was canceled due to the COVID – 19 outbreak, but it really needs to run constantly on Broadway because it deals with issues that are still present around us.

Great show, great time, my old stomping grounds.... almost came to tears.... AND LATIN HISTORY FOR MORONS WAS WONDERFUL EXCELLENT FANTASTIC FULL OF FACTS AND LAUGHTER, WILL DEFINITELY GO AGAIN😁😁🤣😎

Really loved this place! Went to see the play Sweat which was great! The whole place is elegant and has a Cosy vibe. You can buy drinks and snacks at the bar by the entrance and take them with to your seat which is great! The staff was friendly and the facilities in were well kept and clean. Cool spot for an evening out!

Definitely a great theatre for a show. If youre interested in the show thats there, I definitely recommend it. If I lived closer, Id probably have a subscription.

Lifetime of a Fact was a great, topical show. They did a great job with the set and the atmosphere of the theater is great, but the seats are really close together with almost no leg room.

I wish it was 1979 and this place let me in!!

Tha Theresa Raquin was th Best Scenic Design Of A Play ive ever seen before, i was pregnant and little bit it was hard for me but Keira Knightley was wonderful, i will never forget the emotions he acted in reality

This is a review of the theatre. Box office lobby was open at least an hour before curtain during our visit. For an 8pm curtain, the house opens at 7:30pm. If you get here early, there are no benches or seats. Some people tried to sit on these black wooden bases against the wall. The ‘bouncer’ told us it wasn’t safe. He acted more like a bouncer than the welcoming committee. Several elderly patrons who came early left to find a place to sit.Don’t sit on mezzanine EE101 or the corresponding EE102. A black bar will obstruct your view. See pic.

Steep mezzanine meant clear views. Really intimate ambience and split orchestra sections. Kiss me Kate is really wonderful with kelli O hara!

Well done guys .

This theatre has a beautiful interior. The staff is friendly and they manage the influx of people super well! However, it was a bit chilly during the performance.

Very pretty in the inside. Seats were comfy. Good view even from far back (second to last row). Affordable tickets. The show was through roundabout theater, and they have discounted tickets (HIPTIX Program) for people ages 18-35, allowing you to buy up to 2 tickets ( second ticket doesnt have to be for a person aged 18-35), I gave my second ticket to my sister) for $25 each, my mom got a full priced ticket, which was a little over $40 I believe. short walk from times square. We saw Holiday Inn staring Corbin Bleu (high school musical) and Bryce Pinkham. Snack prices were very reasonable, but pay attention to how the line forms, I think I ( completely accidentally) cut people in line (I dont think anyone noticed, as no one said anything to me) and didnt realize until after I made a purchase and stepped out and saw how the line was formed, which made me feel kinda bad. oops! sorry...

Kiss me Kate was wonderful. Kudos to Kelli O’Hara for her amazing vocal power and range and to Corbin Bleu for his fabulous tap dance routines. Cole Porter is still wonderfully clever. Theater has spacious seating. Discount tickets available. Highly recommend.

Beautiful theater. Friendly ushers. The only problem I encountered was that while sitting all the way to one side of the theater, I could smell cigarette smoke coming in from outside. Probably from someone smoking too near to the HVAC intake, but still very annoying.

Wonderful theatre. So many awesome things happen in this space!

Amazing remarkable place!!! NYC 💜

While this Old Grand Dame of a theater was a music club extraordinaire of the past, w lovely decor, it should be better insulated. The orchestra section felt a bit drafty, cold.

Great venue for a play. Children of a lesser God was amazing! Intimate and amazing setting.

The theater is very compacted. Sitting on the top of the balcony still gave us a good view of the whole stage, which is great. But the chairs and sitting space are very tight. Its very difficult and uncomfortable for people with long legs and larger frames.

Amazing performance of The Sound Within. Loved the thought provoking play.

One of Roundabout Theatres Broadway houses. They put on productions of new and revival shows. The staff are very professional and considerate.

Loved the play I went to see (kiss me Kate). Its a very classic studio with a good space.

Went to see John Liguizamo Latin History for Morons was amazing. The theatre was nice and clean. I was up top and saw perfectly. Not bad for last minute back row seats

Very nice theatre. Ive been here a couple of times. The only complaint I have is that the mezzanine seats are very cramped; you have very little leg room.

Even the seats in the higher balcony area have good stage views.

I loved it! Good view from any seats!

The most fabulous and iconic address in New York

Beautiful venue, with excellent staff!!

Beautiful place. Had a great learning time with John Leguizamo.

So I saw Kiss Me Kate here and it was one of the best sounding performances I have been to yet. I wont tell you about the show in particular as you can find tons of info about it with a simple online search. The show was a great experience and I would recommend it for locals or tourists looking for a bit of that Broadway magic that they can reminisce over forever. The vocal performances will simply amaze you. I am pretty sure 2 of the numbers should definitely give this show a couple of Tony nominations. I am not sure how much of this show is a part of the original production but the Direction, Choreography, Music, Set, Lighting, Wardrobe and Cast are simply amazing with a special Shout out to all those support positions as no show can be this good without amazing crew. There was was only one noticeable missed line that was recovered by the performer. The theater Studio 54 was true to its hype. Temperature was comfortable. Ushers were pleasant and helpful as well as clear with any instructions on intermission time and directions for restrooms, and seating. Concessions were about the same as other Broadway theaters 2 bottles of Fiji water and 1 pack of peanuts m&ms were $15.25. The seats while nice and padded had a sinking feeling that those who are vertically challenged may have some issue with the further back you sit on the Orchestra level. Pro tip: if you consider yourself a short person ask for a seat cushion to help elevate yourself, but ask early before the house runs out. Most importantly, have fun!

Kiss me, Kate! - was amazing!

Studio 54 is a national treasure, a beautiful building with a lot of history. As this is the first time I have been to New York I felt it was something I wanted to see, and experience. I saw a play called The Sound Inside, while I was not entirely impressed by the play, the experience as a whole was quite pleasurable. I will recommend to others.

Amazing Kiss Me Kate show. In a classic spot 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Staff super friendly and very accommodating with wheelchair. Thank you

A mid sized theatre so not a typical Broadway location. The acoustics were surprisingly good. The full bar at the back is a nice add on. Our play didnt have an intermission so dont know what type of traffic jam that would create though. Getting everyone out at the end did take longer though than in other theatres.

Old school beautiful theater.

Beautiful classic theatre on Broadway. Friendly and helpful staff.

Great history in this iconic venue

Had an incredible time for John Leguizamos show.

What an iconic place to see a show in NYC! Just stepping inside you can feel the history of this place. Great views from most seats!

Disco ball to theater room

We watched The Sound Inside in this theater. The theater features a large entrance way and plenty of exits. The seats are relatively cramped if you are on the taller side. This is actually a large theater with very steep seating in the mezzanine. This is actually a good thing since someone taller than you sitting in front will not be too big of an issue when watching a performance.

Aside from being the historic Studio 54 club, it is an incredible place to enjoy. Saw Kiss Me Kate here with family and we all had an amazing time. If your just passing through or live in the city you need to do yourself a favor and attend play here. You will have a great time!

Beautiful theatre, great sound, and performance! Kiss Me Kate was PHENOMENAL. I only put four stars because seats in the Mezzanine were terribly uncomfortable and not suitable for tall people, I recognize that I have long legs, but I couldnt even sit forward in my seat because my knees hit right where the other seats in front of me began. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, aside from having to sit sideways in my seat!

The show was well executed and the staff courteous, but the seats are just about the most uncomfortable ones Ive sat in at a New York show. I could see just fine from my spot in the mezzanine, but Im only 57 and my knees were touching the seat in front of me. I am not a big person, but I barely had room to move and couldnt get comfortable. Id probably try to avoid this theater next time around unless it had an absolute must-see show in it.

Heard so much about this place growing up and man I wish I was here during its heyday. Its still a pretty cool place to check out. Gotta say the acoustics in this place sounds amazing by the way.

Wow wow wow! What an amazing venue, and great company! Saw them performing Holiday Inn, was absolutely extraordinary! Fun, amusing, great dancing, music (loved the orchestra musicians being in different locations, watching the conductor on a little small privet video screen BTW), stage and costumes. Beautiful directing work. The iconic venue is so beautifully designed, with a lot of attention to details. Enjoyed every moment of it, thank you!

First time in this theater. Very unique! I like the hardwood floors in the house as opposed to carpeted aisles. Sound system is very good.

Fabulous show, great venu!!

Very nice theater. Bathrooms are clean. It’s really Awesome to be apart of history. The balcony is really high up. The incline is pretty steep. You might want to bring some binoculars.

Saw Daniel Radcliffe in a Lifespan of a Fact. Had a great time. We sat in the balcony in the first row on the far left side. Had a good view. The middle balcony area has limited views due to the sound bar and lighting control located there just FYI when picking seats.

Legendary

Smallish but wonderful theater. I think every seat has a good view. Have loved every show Ive seen there. Many restaurants nearby.

Great show playing now... Kiss Me Kate with the fabulous Kelli OHara! Seats in the theatre are the typical torture. Beautiful theatre and always great to support Roundabout Theatre.

We went to see the show She Loved Me last weekend and it was spectacular! I was totally speechless afterwards. The acting, set, orchestra, costumes, lighting, it was all on point. We loved everything about the show, but the venue wasnt our favorite. The rows of seats were so close together that I couldnt sit straight and I am only 6 feet tall. We were on the upper mezzanine and it was noticeably warmer than it was down in the orchestra seating. That being said, every single seat in the theater had a wonderful view of the set. I was so impressed by that.

I saw Danielle Ratcliffe

This is a great theater company. We saw Kiss Me Kate and it was amazing. Well worth it. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of the performance.

😘 me Kate is was a wonderful show but I almost walked out at intermission because the seat had absolutely NO leg room. Ive sat in some pretty tight spots before in these ancient Broadway theaters but this was egregious. I had to contort my body and jam my knees into the seat in front of me to be about to even even sit down. Other theatergoers nearly a foot shorter than me had trouble with the amount of leg room.

Saw KISS ME KATE here. Excellent show. Comfortable seating and good sight lines. Enjoyed attending this venue for the first time.

Love this theater.

Old disco turned into a Theatre. Originally renovated for the revival of Cabaret it still has the leopard carpet and black walls of the Kit Kat Klub. Operated by the Roundabout group it has good acoustics and sight lines. A good place to see a show.

The seats are small and your knees are guaranteed to be in the persons back in front of you. The bathrooms are upstairs (I believe there was an accessible one on the main level). The ambiance was nice. Drinks were outrageously expensive. We saw Lifespan of A Fact. It was hilarious!

Not much to see, but very historic!

Beautiful theater venue. Seeing The Lifespan of a Fact certainly contributed to this glowing review, but the location truly is fantastic. If the mezzanine seating rows were not so narrow, I would have found a way to give a 6 star rating.

Great venue. Great show. The Sound Inside. Both actors have amazing talent

Show was good I liked it. Studio 54 was nice, could use more womens rooms always and my mom couldnt hear the show which was disappointing an we didnt know until after the show.

Great character in this theater. The mezzanine is quite steep for better views. There is VERY little space in the rows for any leg room.

Lots of history in this place. Saw Cabaret here.

This Roundabout Theater venue is a favorite. The stage is lower than other Broadway theaters and there is no orchestra pit, creating a more intimate setting for the prime seats. It is used mainly for musicals.

Saw a great production of The Lifespan of a Fact, from up in the nosebleed section. Aside from the fact that the rows of seats are way too close together, the theater is an intimate space, which affords great sightlines and easy listening. Roundabout has a good venue.

The orchestra feels so close to the stage, very intimate :) and the front mezzanine seats are fantastic too, enough elevation between rows so your view is never obstructed. Great ambience and decor, great acoustics. No complaints.

Great theater experience from the quality of the performance, through seating layout and acoustics. My wife and I went to see Kiss Me Kate yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed the show.

Saw Daniel Radcliffe in The Lifespan of a Fact here. The theater was very clean and well maintained. Such a great experience.

Very nice place. The inside is amazing and the show is amazing . The seats are COMFORTABLE AND THE PLACE IS DRESSED UP ATTIRE . please dont be like me and wear super casual it doesnt look right.

Saw Kiss Me Kate there. Beautiful theater and a first rate performance.They need more womens toilets because the intermission is short and the line was long...but that is my only complaint.

Legendary spot and incredible shows but youd think for $275 seats, youd get some heat. The place was freezing inside.Im only going in the spring or summertime because that cold was redicuous... This was second row upfront seats. Oh well thank goodness the show was great...

Glad to see the original deco architect & disco ball! Theater seats are tight, but good view of the stage. Drinks at the bar are heavily priced, but there are plenty of great bars/lounges surrounding Studio 54.

Studio 54 has had quite a history whether for: legitimate theater, television or as a very famous nightclub and back to legitimate theater. It houses many great Broadway theater productions. However, the theater itself is a bit grungy. It is about time it was given some tender loving care and brought back to its original glory.

Wish I was just posting this from the after life, after just discovering google maps and remembering my times here in its heyday. Unfortunately its modern day, and I saw a play here, a good play, but it was nothing like I was hoping it would be...

Great Venus to watch a show. Seats had plenty of room, great view of the stage. We sat center mezzanine 6 rows back for Latin History for Morons. Also was great that the mezzanine had own bar and bathroom.

What a beautiful theatre with great details like leopard print carpeting. Its very large but warning to people with long legs...the seats are impossibly cramped.

I am not old enough to remember this place from its earliest incarnation as a TV studio, but I am old enough to remember it from its days as a disco. Nowadays, its interesting to see it as one of Roundabouts main theaters, beginning with its role as part of the backdrop for their reversal of Cabaret. Its a decent, if somewhat awkwardly designed, place to see a show, and I suppose it is as convenient or inconvenient as any other Broadway theater.

Great theater. Much more intimate tha. The larger Times Square playhouses. Kiss me Kate was Fabulous!

Show was the best Ive seen. Seats were tight, but go see Kiss Me Kate. You will NOT be disappointed!

I saw Latin history for Morons here, John Leguizamo is everything!!! The staff at studio 54 is very nice, the bartenders super sweet and they poor a stiff drink which is nice. The seat are comfy for a long show and overall it was a delightful night!!!

Studio 54, having been THE place to be and be seen in its club heyday, is now an staple as a venue for excellent New York City theater. Each seat has a fine view and quality performances are what Ive experienced here.

Easy access from subway. All seats have good views of the stage. Update infrared listening devices available.

We had a blast the other night, only if we turn back time and take it back to the 70s when this place was happening. Nonetheless we still had a blast lol

Saw Lifespan of a Fact. The play was awesome. However, I’m rating the venue low due to the comfort of their seats. I am a 6’6” guy and there was no way for me to sit without manspreading.

The show was great, John Leguizamo is the man! But the theater seats are very small for a large man like myself. Make sure you carefully select what seats you sit in because they are very very small. Even for my wife who is only 5 foot 4 she had a very hard time sitting in the seats in the balcony area.

Beautiful theater with so much history to see a very amazing play.

Lovely small theatre. Great sight lines and wonderful acoustics

A great intimate venue to watch a play. I watched the revival of Kiss Me Kate there a few weeks ago and had a great time.

As soon as I found out I was going to NYC I knew I had to go to a theatre, I managed to get a front row seat for Therese Raquin.On entering the building I was amazed at the decor and beautiful character of the theatre. It is very classy, shabby chic and I just couldnt wait to get inside! Very heavy beautiful chandeliers in the foyer were delightful too stare at whilst waiting in line. The staff on site were very friendly, not too aggressive as some can be seen by security. LOnce inside I was amazed how I felt like I was the only one in the room, it was so relaxing. Seats very comfy and drinks/snacks not too over priced.I had the most amazing time and it will be one day i will never forget.Thank you

Fantastic theater! Just went to see Cabaret today and was amazed by the decor, architecture and the way its been preserved after all these years. I couldnt help to imagine the good days of Studio 54! Would go back there anytime for a play, party or anything. Maybe they want to improve the restrooms situation, thats the only thing I didnt like as I had to wait in line for a long time.

This theater is now the stage for great plays and musicals put on by the Roundabout. The Roundabout about is a group which puts on about six or seven productions every year. Currently Studio 54 is presenting the play Children of a Lesser God. The cast is wonderful.

Saw Children of a Lesser God. Zero leg room in balconies. Looked like not much in orchestra either. Great production and cast. Entire cast came out and gave signatures and took pictures with attendees.

Shows do not disappoint. What a historic theater
