Theater Scorecard
Typical VenueThe Ethel Barrymore Theatre offers good sightlines with a well-raked mezzanine and minimal obstructions, though some box seats have limited views. Sound quality is average, with some reports of less than ideal acoustics. Comfort is typical for a Broadway theater, with decent legroom in some areas. However, facilities are lacking, with only one restroom on the lower level leading to potential congestion.
