This was an excellent Broadway theatre. My wife and I went to see Kinky Boots which was a phenomenal show. The theatre itself is a decent size, organized, well kept, and friendly/helpful staff.

Overall an excellent experience.

Really really enjoyed the Kinky Boots performance there. The washroom is a bit old-styled, but apart from that, it's a great place! Had a great time even from the nosebleeds in the mezzanine section.
