What People Are Saying About Belasco Theatre

This is a beautiful theater built by the famous producer David Belasco in 1907. The structure included an apartment for his personal use, with a peephole for viewing the stage. After his death in 1931, it was said that his ghost had taken over the box seats. Nowadays, Belasco's ghost is usually the only patron: With a few exceptions, this beautiful structure has been dark since the late `70s. If you're lucky enough to see a production here, try and sit in orchestra rows D through J. Clifford Odets' "Waiting For Lefty" and T. S. Eliot's "The Cocktail Party" opened at the Belasco (which has a decorative interior incorporating commissioned Tiffany glass).

We went to the St. James to see The Producers and it made me want to be a regular patron of plays. The accoustics in this theatre were top notch. I didn't even see the orchestra until the play was over, but it sounded like it was all in surround sound. There is not a bad seat in the place; very homey and comfortable. I LOVED it!!!
