I went down to see Annie. I have only seen two other Broadway shows, so I am not very well versed on the shows. The theater itself is what I would expect from the old Broadway theaters; it was extremely tight seating quarters but it was manageable. I am 6' tall, so it was tight, but otherwise I had no... More

Last year I visited this theare and enjoyed a truly fantastic performance of Priscilla Queen of the Desert. Putting the performance to one side (which was absolutely fantastic), the theatre itself offers a spacious and enjoyable environment in which to enjoy a show. Leg and elbow room in the seats is fine and the bar offered a wide selection of... More

We saw "Annie" at this theater. It is a classic theater from vaudeville days. Not a big place. We had orchestra seats, center, fantastic view, for around $70 a ticket.The lobby is small, you if you are early, you may have to wait in line outside for the inside doors to open. Ours did 30 minutes before the show's start... More

Enjoyed 'Annie', though can't beat the original. Major con: our seats were in a balcony box and the usher was not clear on where we were supposed to go. 15 minutes later, usher gets pissy that we're in someone else's seats and nastily banishes us up a hard-to-see stairwell where there is no one around to guide us. Set a... More

We just got back from seeing Annie at the Palace Theatre and I think it was pretty much your standard theatre experience. We were in the 2nd row center mezzanine and we had a wonderful view, the sound was fabulous and you could really hear everything that was said on stage quite clearly. I also liked that form the mezzanine... More

We watched Annie at the Palace Theatre, which was an amazing experience. The lights and sound system were great and the theatre itself was beautiful and classy. There really wasn't much leg room though, which made watching the show a little uncomfortable. I felt really cramped despite only being 5'3' and 120 pounds. It didn't make the experience any less...

I took my 2 boys, 14 and 11 to NYC during the holidays. Wanted to take them to a Broadway show and I thought that Annie was the best fit of my choices. Except that 2 boys who don't like to sit for a long time had an attitude about a show about some "dumb girl". I'm pretty sure that... More

The show was mind blowing! The sets were great and they really brought alive the story. The theater seats were comfortable - better than the seats at new Amsterdam theater. Staff was a little abrupt but I guess they have to be with the massive seating capacity of the place. In terms of prettiness quotient of the theater itself -... More
