It made my daughter cry (in a good way)
When Christopher Jackson walked on stage, my 18 year old daughter burst into tears and did not stop crying. She loves Hamilton and it was such a joy to watch her enjoy this show that she holds so dear to her heart. It was a highlight of our trip to NYC.

Best broadway show I have ever seen.
The lighting, the props, everything was spectacular. I went with my grandparents who have not seen Harry Potter and they absolutely loved it. Truly a show for everyone.

It could not have been better!
We enjoyed every part of the play. The music, amazing vocals, costumes, fabulous dancers, excellent choreography, we could go on and on. We had not seen a broadway play in years. This was a wonderful way to get back into it!

The cast was amazing. We had a fire alarm go off during the show and they handled it all like professionals. I’m amazed at the vocals and acting ability of this crew. I would definitely go again.
A couple scenes could be scary for small

Good but could be more broadway
The talent is undeniably good. When you go to a Broadway show you expect to feel as if you are in the show yourself the show could have had more when it comes to costume and set design. Overall, the talent was beautiful the music was on point. However, the show itself was very basic for being on Broadway.

What a Broadway Show is.
It’s everything that you would want in a Broadway production. Amazing sets, costumes, production, talent, and music. It’s not the type of show that is thought-provoking; it’s entertaining and fun. And in a historical theater. It’s all here

AMAZING Cast - Oct 2026
An all star cast delivering terrific performances! I envy all those who have never watched Hadestown before and happen upon this cast as their first viewing of the story that is told over and over again. Legends Norbert Leo Butz and Amber Iman shine as Hermes and Persephone. Ben Davis is a cool, imposing Hades. Jasmin and Kayko remind me of Eva and Reeve!

Best Show I've Seen
This was my 5th Broadway show this year and was without a doubt my favorite (Hadestown, Lion King, Rocky Horror, and Wicked were the other shows for reference). I was absolutely moved to tears by the performance and the stage direction was equally amazing, having a more "traditional" feel with props serving multiple uses like a stationary car being used as a couch and bed in some scenes or simulating a train car with a few wooden planks really gave it a classic theatre feel. And despite only seeing the show in the last month the cast album will definitely be a top contender on my spotify wrapped for the year.
I will say, I haven't read The Outsiders in more than a decade so I can't attest to how well avid lovers of the book will feel about some plot differences in the show, but I have no doubt that they will still find the performance absolutely amazing and heartbreaking. I truly can't wait to see this show again.

Staging, voices, plot what more could you want??
This show has everything you need in a Broadway show. The harmonies are unreal. The use of set so innovative. The actors make the characters come alive. And it’s just a good time.

Some of the best special effects on Broadway!
This show blows my mind every time. It’s heartwarming, yet terrifying. It’s funny, yet heartbreaking. Everything i love about stranger things is in this show. The story is so detailed and helps you understand the Netflix show so much more. I love this show, I’m so heartbroken that it’s leaving Broadway!

About Our Broadway Show Reviews
Broadway reviews give theatergoers valuable insight into what to expect before purchasing tickets.
Reading both customer reviews and professional critic reviews helps paint a complete picture of a show’s performances, production quality, and overall audience experience.
Whether you’re deciding between a long-running musical or a brand-new play, reviews are one of the best tools for making an informed choice.
Why Verified Customer Reviews Matter
Our customer reviews are written by verified ticket buyers, ensuring that every opinion comes from someone who has actually attended the show.
These authentic Broadway reviews highlight everything from standout performances to theater comfort, giving you real feedback you can trust.
Unlike unverified sources, our platform makes it clear which comments are genuine, helping you sort through opinions with confidence.
The Value of Professional Critic Perspectives
Critic reviews, on the other hand, offer professional perspectives on direction, writing, acting, and staging.
By comparing critic commentary with verified customer feedback, you’ll see how a show resonates both with audiences and experts.
This balanced approach makes it easier to decide whether a show is right for you, whether you’re planning your first Broadway trip or adding another production to your must-see list.
