What theater on Broadway do you always enjoy walking into and just staring at until the curtain opens?
I'm going with The Palace. So big. So pretty. So palace-like.

Studio 54. It's such a dump, but such a sense of history in that place.
The Gerswhin is so comfortable -- I like that.
Love the interior of the St. James. I still laugh when I remember that they put blindfolds on all the busts for A Funny Thing Happened. . .

I adore Studio 54, it's goregous inside.
(...but it's hard for me not to like the place where SITPWG is playing! I saw a local production of it in an art gallery - beautiful!)

I love the Booth just because some of the shows I just absolutely loved played there. Same goes for the Lyceum.
I also love the Eugene O'Neill, sort of for the same reason, and sort of because I think it's so pretty inside. The Brooks Atkinson, too.
#15re: What's Your Favorite Broadway Theater?
Posted: 6/5/08 at 12:49pmThe Longacre is gorgeous. I also love the Walter Kerr, St. James, and Hirschfeld.

Majestic for sentimental reasons.
But for physical reasons
New Amsterdam
Winter Garden (it's such an odd auditorium, so wide and low)
and I actually like the Minskoff and the Gershwin, although i prefer the Minskoff's interior

The Mark Hellinger!
I just know that one day we will all be able to walk in there again and see a Broadway show in the most sublime surroundings!
Some of the Tony award clips on the DVD collection, 'Broadways Lost Treasures' are filmed in this gorgeous cathedral!

Posted: 6/5/08 at 1:00pmThe New Amsterdam is absolutely beautiful. Too bad there will never be a non-Disney show there.

The Hirschfeld because it's so intimate and comfortable.
The Neil Simon mostly for sentimental reasons.
New Amsterdam because it so beautiful.
I love The Minskoff because it is so comfortable, even though the interior of the actual theatre is very bleak and plain. I love walking around the "lobby" and looking down at Times Square during intermission.
The St. James because of the historical value of it.

Posted: 6/5/08 at 1:12pmi love the artistic feeling of the nederlander. i could look at the mosaics around the stage and throughout the lobby forever.

Hirschfeld, for its intimacy, beauty, and for sentimental reasons.
New Amsterdam for its beauty and personal reasons.
I also like the Barrymore and O'Neill for different reasons, probably the shows I saw and the experience.
Also, the Beaumont is nice for the stadium style seating, the stage, and of course some of the amazing shows they have done there.
