If we're talking Royal Court, the theatre upstairs is an absolute joy. Teeny tiny and a black box to boot. Saw the best production of Spinning Into Butter there.

But, as I said on a previous thread, my absolute favourite favourite theatre is the Donmar Warehouse.


Nothing precious, plain to see, don't make a fuss over me. Not loud, not soft, but somewhere inbetween. Say sorry, just let it be the word you mean.

Studio 54 of course! I also love the Plymouth, St James, and the Walter Kerr. The comfiest by far was the Gershwin.

I'm gonna have to go with the Public Theater in NYC. I love that there are 5 different spaces there, they're all so beautiful. I've only been in two (Anspacher and Newman), but judging from the two of them, the whole theater must be that nice.

I liked the Henry Miller...because it wasn't glamorous in the least bit, but there was something neat about it...

Agreed about the Nederlander. I love RENT, but I hate that theatre.

Yep, tall long legs right here. I was in the orchestra though. Still not very comfy.

Plymouth and Studio 54
I like The Public even though it's small, it has a cool atmosphere.

I'd like to see Studio 54 sometime. I wish I could have seen Cabaret.

Isn't 54 being renovated for Pacific Overtures? I know all the fun leopard print stuff that gave Cabaret such a wonderful atmosphere was taken out before Assassins, but I think they're going to put in regular seats. The seats there now are ungodly uncomfortable, but it's still a shame.

The tables are what gives Studio 54 so much character. It wont be the same without them

yes! no matter how uncomfortable those damn chairs are..or the line of stools in the last row of the orchestra...the setup of Studio 54 makes it timeless!

I also love the Marquis, Public, and Gershwin theatres!

The Nederlander has no leg room whatsoever. I like the decorating, but those seats... Did I really pay $50 for that? Oh well. Rent is fantastic. :)

Cara - I found the Marquis to have very little character. I loved Millie though.

Isn't the smartest answer to this question: the one with the most leg room?"

Now that that STARLIGHT EXPRESS is gone you can actually see the design og the Apollo Victoria, but I would rahter have STARLIGHT back.
