Reviews of New Victory Theater
We had a delightful experience here! The price was reasonable and the theater is beautiful. The staff was very helpful! Thank you very much for this excellent experience
Friendly, welcoming children's theatre space. I attended Circus Abyssinia as an adult without children. The staff were welcoming, kind and respectful to the audience members of all ages. They created a very safe environment. And the circus is wonderful. A vibrant talented group of performers. And I bet you'll see some circus stunts you've never seen before! They deserve a sold out house every night.
Oh! And they have free lockers where you can leave your coats and stuff.
A perfect space for young children. My son and I saw Hip Hop Cinderella and he was super engaged! He even bopped his head!!! Well thought out shows in a perfectly sized theater for kids. Looking forward to seeing more shows soon!
We saw Circus Abyssinia, and I was pleasantly surprised, because it was exciting not only for the kids but also for adults! Snake(tiger) lady was my favorite - amazing flexibility! Come early, as they have fun activities for kids downstairs, as well as cafe.
Best to use public transportation, but if you need to drive, look in advance for parking garage deals online.
My family had a great time last night at the Circus Abyssinia: Tulu. The performers were incredible, and we loved the music. Highly recommended!
The circus was great, slight problem with getting the tickets at the box office but everything was taken care of.
We went to see Mr. Poppers Penguins and it was fantastic. Looks like a real theatre but the experience is intended see for kids with pre and post show activities, reasonable snacks, and our tux were just $25 each.
It was a great show. My granddaughter had a blast.
Fantastic performance of The Three Musketeers in a lovely theatre. Staff was so friendly. What a treat!
Lovely small theater. Very ornate and interesting to look around.
An incredible venue for children’s theater - most of which will entertain and mesmerize adults at least a much as little people. They’re breadth of programming is astounding, and they do a lot to support bringing in attendees who can’t usually afford or have access to the theater.
My Children loved it!! Awesome show !
Amazing music and great actors and good backgrounds
Quaint little theater in the heart of Times Square. Great views of the stage all around.
This is one of our family's favorite outings! They bring in fantastic troupes for a wide variety of cultural and artistic experiences that both kids and adults enjoy. Ticket prices and member terms can't be beat, too!
Came here with my son on a school trip it was really nice seeing the magic show
A fabulous theater for all ages but an absolute must for young adults and children. The most recent show we attended was When We Rise Up. A wonderful piece offering a glimpse into the experiences of a diverse group young people entering adulthood during these challenging times. My teen and I discussed the show for hours afterwards.
Lovely venue, friendly staff, great family shows from all over the world.
Great theatre. Has changed through the years, much more colourful and kid friendly. Even has translators for sign language.
Awesome theater for a kid friendly show.
Caitlin Alaimo, the associate house manager absolutely made our experience! The show, Airplay, was lovely, and we really enjoyed it. Caitlin elevated our experience with her professionalism and kindness
Wonderful family theater!!! Great prices.
Engaging kid-friendly entertainment. This is an all time favorite for families. So many shows here are great and the quality of the performances has always been very high and neither adults nor kids were ever disappointed. Every single employee was so nice! We also like the pre and post entertainment! A great place to entertain the whole family!
Great little theatre designed for intimate shows and equipped with modern convenience. Seats are narrow and small, little space between the rows for those over 5.7ft tall...but overall is lovely. Oh..and some chipped paint that may contain led ;) hope they will take care of soon.
What a great way to introduce children to theater! Most of the shows are less than an hour. Longer shows are geared for older children with intermission times noted so you can decide what's appropriate for you little one. Themes are geared for the children but adults will find them just as enchanting and even thought-provoking. Many a times, we've found that we can take some of the ideas for Art and Performance at home. The theater offers amenities like stroller parking and coat lockers for free. Become a member by buying tickets to 3+ shows and you get a discount.
Update: watched Air Play. Theatre has strict covid protocols (check vaccines), masks required. No pre-show activities. Casts masks when interacting with the audience. It was lovely to have a theatre experience that felt safe.
We came here to see the Pout Pout Fish, which our kids enjoyed. There were craft activities to do before the show, which they also enjoyed. I received multiple reminders that there would be before-show activities starting an hour before the show but when we got there the staff wouldn't let anyone in an hour before. It's unclear if this was a one off issue with being ready but there were lots of kids waiting to get in. The show was good but one actor kept having her mic fall off, which made it difficult to hear her. They offer booster seats, which is nice so younger kids don't have to sit on a lap.
We were in town for a family event and we always try to see a show. This was our first time at the New Victory Theater, but it will not be our last.
Before the show, my daughter and I were sent downstairs to play. They had a number of activities to keep her interested. The show -- a performance by the Australian group "Gravity and Other Myths" -- was short (45 minutes) but absolutely breathtaking and fantastic. I'd see them over and over anytime anywhere.
After the show, we went back downstairs and my daughter got to meet the performers and get their autographs.
I highly recommend both the theater and their excellent staff as well as the group Gravity and Other Myths.
Best kids' theater! Great international troupes perform here! Children are involved with the show from the moment they get in the lobby. New modern design of the infrastructure and a lovely space with gifts related to the shows. You can also get few small things to eat and drink.
Great theater with interesting and constantly changing productions for kids. I've brought my daughter (3.5 yo) here three times and each time she is fascinated by the performance. And so am I. Beautiful, sweet, engaging shows for little ones
We went to see kids show. Pretty good as it was nicely organised.
The New Victory presents work for children and family audiences year-round, programming a full season of theater, dance, puppetry, circus, opera, physical theater and other types of performance art from around the world. In 2012, The New Victory Theater received a special Drama Desk Award for “providing enchanting, sophisticated theater that appeals to the child in all of us, and for nurturing a love of theater in young people.”
The venue changed multiple names during its very long life on Broadway. It has been active since 1900 and was known as Theatre Republic, the Belasco Theatre, Republic Theatre, and Minsky's Burlesque.
New Victory Theater is the oldest active venue and a worthy one of the name “Temple of Melpomene”. When it first opened it had a stunning interior featuring marble stairways, carved balustrades, and a gilded dome. An orchestra pit, a modern stage, and a new lighting system were later added in the 1920s and even once featured a roof garden. The theater’s facade is identifiable by its grand staircase and ornate lampposts.
The New Victory didn’t have a glorious fate throughout the years. It served as a burlesque house, and then as an adult cinema. However, it was renovated in 1995 as a part of the large-scale revitalization of the area. It is now managed by New 42nd Street as a non-profit which puts on plays year-round for young audiences.
The New Victory is an all time favorite for our family. We have seen many shows here and the quality of the performances has always been very high and neither adults nor kids were ever disappointed. We also like the pre and post entertainment and the meet the performers past the show a lot
This is a beautifully restored little children's theater in the heart of Times Square. It is well thought out with pre-show activities for the children that relate to the show, stroller parking outside the theater seating area, child friendly snacks, booster cushions for the seats and a limited # of lockers for use. The bathrooms are clean and modern, but can get crowded especially after the show. We had a great view of the stage from our orchestra seats, and I am sure the view from the balcony was also good because it is a small theater. Staff was friendly and helpful. We also enjoyed the historical photos of Times Square and the theater in the 70's, 80's and 90's. The quality of the show (Air Play) was excellent and entertaining for adults as well as children. It easily reminded me of the beauty of simplicity and wonder of being a child. I would have given 5 stars except for the fact that it felt a little crowded in the lobby pre-show and the activities could have been better attended to by the staff who didn't really engage the children.
A must place to take your kids to see a show. Regularly. Over the years we have seen many unforgettable shows, some ok shows, but never disappointed. They also have a separate space to run shows for small children. Short programs, intimate atmosphere. Highly advised if live in NYC or just visiting.
The place was cozy and the performance we watched was wonderful for family. All staffs were helpful and kind.
This theater has a variety of shows for children and families. Warm and inviting location. They have free lockers to use during performances, and an area for everyone to meet the performers. A fun place.
Amazing kids theatre programming. Consistently high quality shows that are not painful for the adults to sit through. Tips: get a booster seat downstairs before the performance for your little ones, and pre-order you intermission snacks from your usher. It will save you easily 10 min of standing in line later and then rushing your kids to "eat faster!"
Wish our we had a theater like this close to home. Engaging kid-friendly entertainment. Every single employee was so nice! Pre show food and games in lower level. Great time with the family!!
Great kid friendly spot. The performance we saw had pre show activities for kids. The lounge modern an comfortable and the theater is a well maintaned classic. Good seat leg room .
Oldest working theater in NYC, apparently. We saw "Ajijak" (great show) and sat right at the back of the balcony in the middle. My fear of heights started playing up as it's VERY high. The elevated seating is very steep, but I was engaged enough by the show and the clear view that I was able to forget the fear.
The theater also has a downstairs area for kid-focused activities, as well as a café - although, it was closed when we went down after the show. Very nice vibe in this theater, as you would hope, since its focus is children and family friendly entertainment. Recommended!
What a fabulous evening we had attending "Velocity" last night. The show was incredible. So entertaining it had me at the edge of my seat so I wouldn't miss any steps. We were privileged to see all of you at your best! Thank you for all your hard work.
Very lovely theater. I am blessed to be performing there this year, 3/25/22 - 4/3/22
The place itself is really nice. I love the entire setup of the theater and the fact that it partners with schools so they could go see shows at a discount. If there was one show there for a long time- The place would be much more sucessful, but it only accompanies touring theatre acts. So, if you are in nyc and are looking for something inexpensive and fun, The New Vic is for you
Amazing stories and actors[&actresses]. It's also a beautiful building in a great location. The staff were very polite and getting in was fast! Highly recommend coming here, you'll definitely enjoy it.
Have gone to a handful of children shows over the past few months. Many of the shows have been really entertaining. Chotto Desh was remarkable! The kids love coming here early for the pre-show activities that are based on the show playing that day. Shows are not too long and they try to make some of the shows interactive.
+ They have free lockers!!
Would have loved to see Emmett Otter's Jugband Christmas play, but it was cancelled due to COVID precautions. I like their mission and will be back to support them.
Great place for tourists and locals alike. During the summer there are street fairs and you can get broadway tickets on the cheap. Lots of places to eat nearby with outside seating free for everyone. This is great to rest your feet after a long day of walking or to watch people (characters) walk by you.
As expected its extra busy during the summer months with all the tourists. If you're looking for a somewhat calmer vibe (but not really), go during the off season.
Great theatre for kids with great varieties of programs. Very well organized, very friendly staff. Pre-show activities are a big bonus too, keep the kids excited and engaged.
Their productions are geared towards children and are all amazing. I have never been disappointed
We went to see Mr. Poppers Penguins and it was fantastic. Looks like a real theatre
The show was fabulous and very creatively done. However the stairs to the balcony level Were very steep. Also the railing in the balcony level is very low allowing one to fall possibly 60 ft to the lowest level
Came here to see Around the World in 80 Days. The show was really cute and lots of fun. The staff were very cheerful and helpful. I'd definitely attend a show here again!
Theater is geared toward educational presentations. A small intimate space with a warm and inviting atmosphere. Excellent student staff. Please support this effort toward education in the arts.
I got a free ticket to come see Bello the Clown in "Bello Mania". I guess he's graduated from the Ringling Bros. to his own headline show. The show is great for small, properly socialized kids. Even the ones that want to run around, climb on the seats and scream will settle down once the show gets going. After the Intermission... all bets are off.
The show is special enough to keep adults entertained as well. The man is a consummate acrobat. Even if you get seats in the second balcony, where I was seated, towards the end of the show you too will get pretty close and personal with Bello.
There are other performers as well, including Bello's daughter, Annaliese, and a Bronx cowboy named Angelo Iodice. Hey. Don't roll your eyes. They used to have a stables on Pelham Parkway. There are plenty of cowboy in the Bronx.
As I stated earlier, after the Intermission all bets are off. At least up in the balcony where I was. It became musical chairs, sanctioned by the staff and it almost cost them a star. But if I had wanted to move, it would have been a plus, so I'll leave it as it is. The Intermission is timed perfectly for twitchy little ones with small bladders.
Oh, and please don't bring your sticky sodas and drink boxes into the theater like they ask you not to. The floors are fully carpeted and kids have accidents. Water dries. Apple juice attracts critters. Of course some heathens not only brought in contraband but had the nerve to leave it on the floor. You just can't take some people anywhere nice.
And for that reason, pay the extra money for Orchestra seats. If you do, you have a good chance of being asked on stage. But if you're going to be a spoil sport.... don't sit in the first couple of rows.
Overall, the venue is nice, clean and well maintained, and the staff is very friendly. Even when asking people not to eat in the theater. Really. If you can't follow simple instructions, keep your ghetto ass at home.
::Well that escalated...::
I must say I enjoy the shows here more than my 8-year old kid. Great shows and great place for kids. Highly recommended!
My whole family loves this theatre, so much I'm a member. They always have a variety of great shows, mostly for families, at affordable prices!
our fave place to see family friendly theater! and we love how nice the theater facilities are (lockers, stroller parking lot, etc.) and the pre show and post show kids activities
If you are in NYC and have children you MUST catch a show at New Victory. Their productions are geared towards children and are all amazing. I have never been disappointed
Amazing, intimate. Sat in oehestra seating, excellent views. Everything clean and renovated but still the old theater feel. Love this theater. Just left from seeing Ajijak on Turtle Island. AMAZING
Best performers from around the world. A must for kids and family. Been going there for many years, always entertaining for children and adults. Highly recommended!
Really enjoyable performances for young kids. The prices are very reasonable and it is both a wonderful way to expose children to the theatre and also support the arts.
Our favorite family theater in New York - all performances we saw there were excellent, and I also love their book store
I liked the venue. It is small and quaint. It is hard to imagine any of the seats are "bad." Great venue to expose young people to the theater.
Being an usher for the New Victory Theater for the past year has been the most wonderful experience I've ever had because seeing the grandparents and kids laugh and have fun watching the shows , put a very big smile on face.
One of the best places to see kids plays in NYC. They specialize in it so they get the best of the best. We go to about three shows there every season.
Hreat spot for kids and the young at heart. Superb and sensitive programming and great fun stuff happening here as well. Reasonable ticket prices and easy access. A gem!
Awesome theatre to bring young theatre goers to, but even the shows targeted to the youngest audience members are entertaining for parents and older siblings
Great space for kids shows, attentive staff and excellent extra touches, like booster seats for the little ones.
Great Broadway Shows for families and kids!
Great venue and excellent assortment of entertaining acts for kids and families. Highly recommend for kids of all ages!
A must to bring your kids and get them interested in theater. Prices are very fair considering that this is right in the heart of Times Square.
One of a kind high level programming for children that every parent should schedule if they want their child to benefit from the variety of performing arts as they grow.
Small but very nice theater off time square.
Great programming for kids. Booster seats for little ones. Plus snack bar does NOT gouge on pricing.
The New Victory Theater
This theater is beautiful. It was built in
1900. You should come here. You will enjoy everything they offer.
Very friendly staff. Place seems well run. Seen 3 shows there & had a great time each time.
what i really loved the most was that every thing is opened every time! want to eat something at midnight, ok, you will find something! All the stores are more charming here, because of all the lights and the beautiful view! You should visit it by the nigth
Class trip with my son's school turned out to be really fun. All the children loved seeing The Pout Pout Fish!
Great family theater and for anyone who enjoys great affordable shows. Fun, vibrant and welcoming.
Great place with a nice variety of shows for kids. Very involved with the community. Great people. All good.
Classic old theatre and the views are great, even from the last row. Only problem is narrow stairways and no lobby on balcony level.
Awesome show place off Broadway
Wonderful staff, very efficient in getting the students off the bus and seated. Great show and liked the Q & A with preformers afterwards.
Amazing venue for family; a,must-see
If visiting The Big Apple. Your kids will love, love, love it!
Theater was clean and easy to navigate in and out of. Atmosphere inside was cozy yet comfortable.
The shows are great. If you buy for at least 3 shows you get discount

Actors work hard to tell there story on stage. Inrespect the arts. May theater live on forever.
It's always a treat to see a show at the New Vic. Everything is kid-friendly, but nothing is dumbed down.

Lindaaa, sensational day or night is wonderful. It's no wonder that it draws so much attention from so many people in the world. Coming to New York and not going there is like not coming. You will love the view and the pictures you will take will be wonderful too. There are many restaurants, pubs and it's close to 5th avenue so there's no reason not to stop by.
It's great, it's super clean, the food options are great for kids because they're kind of healthy, they also play with the kids while they wait for the plays. It's great
A theater in the heart of Broadway designed to be a child-friendly experience. They have cultural presentations and entertainment.
Beautiful accommodation, nice staff, the location of the hotel is in a quiet street but 100 meters from bustling Athens. Excellent breakfast. Everything you need, the staff will help with a smile
It was hard, but will you live with that strength?
Ufffff the most excellent the joy of that street is a vibe of great joy and variety for all tastes.
Theater in the heart of New York #LetsGuide
Very pretty
It was an extraordinary show!
Uff what elegance of a city is beautiful
