It is a cozy theatre. Most of the plays are really good. I had the chance to watch Dear Evan Hansen there and it was amazing. I also watched some great plays there. What I like the most is that the actors are always great, delivering amazing and breath taking performances. I recommend to buy the season tickets​ package. The staff is friendly and respectful. The customer service is also good and the representatives help you with any problem you could have.

Saw Torch Song last weekend and fell in love with this little theatre! Friendly staff and not a bad seat in the house. Stage photo is from seat N103. Bartender was incredibly nice! Oh and Michael Urie will knock your socks off!

Do not be l late! I was 10 minutes late so I had to for the entire show in the back. I saw were gonna die, an off Broadway half concert/half play. The venue was nice. There are large windows that face the street, letting in loud sounds from outside. The show was too short with no story arc, but the music was fantastic.

For a modern built theater, the Tony Kiser theater is sadly cramped and reminiscent of a high school auditorium.The risers are plenty steep, so no one will block your view, but the leg room leaves a lot to be desired. I was able to place my knees on either side of the bowed seat back. Its forced manspreading for anyone of average height. Or else, like the person behind me, you will be constantly moving the chair in front of you as you struggle to find a comfortable position.The rows are loooong. So you will be forcing a lot of people to get up as you make your way to the middle.THE THEATER IS COLD. Do yourself a favor and bring a sweater even on a 90° day. Dont be like the woman in front constantly telling her companion how cold she was, loudly, before finally giving up and leaving before the play was half over. Youve been warned!

A charming show in an intimate venue. I always feel like I am up close and personal at this theater. I just saw The Underlying Chris. I am reminded that we should look beyond the facade to see the person.

This is a really nice venue. Basically, no bad seats, pretty steeply graded. The show we saw had beautiful sets and very innovative use of projections. They have a nice area for eating and drinking before the show and during intermission. And there are actually multiple, working, clean bathroom stalls in the womens restroom.

Love the theater there is not a bad seat in the house.... I am now a member as I love the shows produced there. Thank you for great theater experiences!!

2nd Stage Theater company is innovative, creative and supports new talent! They are terrific and present at the Kiser.

Always quality theater. If you want to have a good evening this is a great option.

The play for Man from Nebraska was great, the seats were close enough to see the details and hear clearly. The people there were very nice and courteous too!

What a beautiful theater. Great location, challenging and entertaining shows. Excellent all around!

Gteat place for avant-garde theater! Many have moved to Bdwy.

Cute small/intimate there. Easy there access.

Came to see Days of Rage. Off-Broadway theaters can be a toss up, but this one was great. Very friendly staff, comfortable seats, good offerings at the bar, and excellent set up and acoustics. It’s close to Times Sq so it’s easily accessible by public transit as well (I would not recommend driving around that area, since it is so touristy and busy all the time). I would definitely come back for another show!

The theater is comfortable and the cafe had some good options of you need a quick nibble.

Great studio theatre, just off times sq, nice raked seating, has a cafe/bar area

A problem. I am hatd of hearing and rely on headsets when I attend plays. I was given a headset that did not work. When I asked for a replacement, I was told none was available. I was told the system was old and needed to be replaced. I had taken a bus from NJ to attend and was shown the exit without even a voucher or accomodation to see the play at a future date. No refund either. I would like to attend plays here, but such shabby treatment and the inability to hear the actors makes this impossible. Very upset.

I love it! So nice!

Excellent play. I could go see the Temtations again. Theatre was very convenient. Enough stalls in ladys room. Wish there had been an elevator in this building, I hurt my leg, so it was very tuff walking up stairs. Wish all the theatres had elevators.

2nd Dtage always has interesting theater choices, guaranteed to be thought provoking.

Saw the play Mary Page Marlowe... Wonderful cast, great play!The seats were comfortable but not too comfortable (you dont want to fall asleep!) And amazingly enough, you cant hear any outside street noise!Nice little café and clean restrooms!

Visibility of the stage is wonderful. However the exits are difficult to get to if the people in front are slow.

Good theater . Thanks for the invite

Saw “Make Believe” - very good.

Saw a production of Tracey Letts’s Mary Page Marlowe. The house staff and ushers could not have been more pleasant and helpful. The decor is interesting. Would definitely continue to see shows here.

You can see good from any seat.

Real cute theater with the friendliest staff. Have sat first row and last row, had a perfect view either way. The chairs however are so uncomfortable. If you know youre coming here, take a few spin classes in preparation to numb yourself to the pain.

I love this theather. Tiny cozy not a bad seat in the house.

There are no bad seats in this theater, plus the Cafe area is clean and roomy.

Wonderful venue, was fortunate to attend a hilarious, witty play called Straight White Men -- dont worry its much better than it sounds. Otherwise, the facilities, service and any ancillary features are amazing.

A great venue for new and innovative theatre. The Kickstart for Dear Evan Hansen, Next to Normal and Dogfight.

Creative shows, showcasing diverse perspectives. Highly recommend the subscription package. It has allowed us to see many great plays that we ordinarily would not seek out.

Small, intimate theatre showing off Broadway shows that if successful will move to Broadway. Tickets are inexpensive and the intimate setting makes the show a great experience in all seating areas.

Kool little Theatre. Id go back.

Great theater space. Friendly and helpful staff. Reasonably priced tickets.

Very nice space for an off-broadway theatre

Great theater! Love their new house

The theater itself was fine. Reasonably comfortable seats, good sight lines and acoustics. Staff we encountered were pleasant. Just off 8th Avenue so not a hike like some of the other off-Broadway theaters farther west.

Great place to work. Love running shows here.

Second Stage does excellent plays here.

Beautiful theatre, very well run, with good choice of plays and top-notch performances

Cozy theater with a fully stocked bar/lounge. Get there early to enjoy it

Second Stage has long been one of New Yorks most important non-profit theatres, producing both important new works, like the hit Dear Evan Hansen, and splendid revivals, like the current Torch Song. I am delighted and proud to be a long-term subscriber.

Its NYCs small off Broadway theatre. No matter where you sit, you get to experience the magic of a live theatre. Whats not to like?

Its a nice off Broadway theatre that has a great ambiance. I loved the fact that it was a bank and you can see the original door.

Great theater. Good sightlines from every seat. Intimate theater experience with top notch professional productions.

We saw Ernest Shackleton Loves Me. The play was great and the venue was small and intimate. Every seat was a good seat.

Great theater, great view from any seat in theater

Love me some 2econd Stage! Always on the cutting edge of contemporary drama

Nice intimate theater experience

Wonderful production of Torch Song. Great space and comfortable seating.

Love this theater, very reasonable pricing. I saw Between Riverside and Crazy great play. I wasnt thrilled with Smart People.

Im hard of hearing. They have a very old system that is not customer friendly. They are shutting down and moving. Hopefully, they will improve the sound system.

Great theater that does both really interesting new work and great revivals. Their current production of The Last Five Years is spectacular.

The home of the Second Stage. Always something worthwhile on their schedule.

Wonderfully small intimate theater.

Loved seeing Smart People here. Excellent play and the theater was cozy.

Nice little theatre

Great theater, centrally located, & right across the street from a subway entrance!

What used to be an old bank has been cleverly converted into a modern day performance space with stadium style seating, great sightlines and a nice bar.

Good legroom but the seat was uncomfortable by the end of the 2nd act

Always a good time. :)

Best place to see great shows before they go to Broadway

Lovely small theater. Box office is in a repurposed bank vault!

Good. Days of Rage...go see it

Great theatre company in a nice theatre. Good programming

Good Off-Broadway theater, nicely staged and great quality of sound

I am hearing impaired I sat in row F I struggled to hear.

Good luck getting a reply!

Have yet to see a bad show there. I highly recommend it.
