Editorial Review for The Box – by Katie Heffernan
In Short
This intimate, intoxicating theater is a two-story collage of lush fabrics, fringes, chandeliers, feathers and curtains, and the colorful stage production recalls the Folies Bergere of 1920s Paris. Marveling the modern-day audiences are forgotten turn-of-the-century virtuoso acts--fire-eaters, knife-throwers, contortionists--accompanied, of course, by lovely little helpers in pasties. Those seated on the main floor become the playthings of performers and beloved drag queen host Raven O. Dinner is equally sensory--beets with goat cheese, veal cheeks and gorgonzola-stuffed pears.

Insider Tips
Know Before You GoTables run an astonishing $600 to $2,000, they don't include dinner, and they're tough to come by.
Where to SitDo what you can to sit downstairs, though views from the balcony are decent--its beautiful bannister is cushioned for unabashed hanging over.
Save MoneyWait in line for standing room at one of the late shows and pay only $25. Or, book a table for the one weekly early show, Saturdays at 7pm, when tickets are $125 and include a prix-fixe dinner. The drawback? The show's less rowdy and risque.
When to GoLate shows begin around 12:30am. Doors open at 11pm on Saturdays and 10pm all other nights.
