This little playhouse hosts many diverse plays, musicals and even experimental performances.Downstairs there is the Huron Club, with a bar and small stage for standup comedy.Ive included a most recent photo of the charming set design and lighting! This is the set for Wild Dogs Under My Skirt....Its Samoan interpretive storytelling, a little bit of history on New Zealands takeover is done via offstage monologue :) I enjoyed it.

The building is going up for sale.Possibly losing theater.This is not great :(Ive worked on a show there for over 10 years.This place is magical.You may enjoy it as a patron, but behind the curtain and before the shows, its always fun. The staff are friendly and professional. Great combination.Some great shows have taken place here.

Great theater with bar with full productions weekly

I saw Reborning a couple months ago and enjoyed the intimate venue. There is definitely a shift in how involved you get with a performance here. I felt enclosed in a space that captured me. Limited seating so if you are particular about where you want to sit, get there early. Cute theatre, for sure.

Great small-size theatre. We saw Jekyll and Hyde, and it was spectacular. The theatre curates the best shows from Fringe festivals, and it shows. The ticket prices are reasonable, and while the theatre is small and a little dingy, it is such a fun time. Staff is really friendly and enthusiastic. My only complaint is that while there is a bar to wait in downstairs, there is no queue getting ready to enter the theatre so it is cramped, but that is unavoidable and not a deal breaker.

OMG the show at this venue was hilarious! Very small venue. It gives you a NY feeling all the way...the Latina Christmas show was awesome! I needed a good laughter and I got it...

Very intimate settingExcept maybe seats can be arranged so that view isnt blocked when someone tall winds up sitting in frontEnjoyed show

Always a great show. Intimate black box, not a bad seat in the house!!

Short run shows, great performances. One or two person acts usually. Always enjoyed. Always appreciated.

A Nice and intimate setting. Love the little bar downstairs too.

Always when I need to make myself more enlighten I go to Playhouse and watch their deep meaning performances.

Love old theaters, it brings me back into time. The Latina Christmas Special was just what I needed to end the 2019 year. Great job Geoffrey Rivas and the cast Maria Rusell, Diana Yanez and Sandra Valls. Love you guys.

Went to see Happy birthday Doug. Fun little theatre. Cozy.

Small (cozy) space, but that is to be expected with NYC, haha. I saw a Daniel Sloss show last night, who has a Netflix Special. It was a great experience!! The bar downstairs was overpriced though.

This theatre is so small I felt claustrophobic sitting in my seat watching a comedy show, and I’m not a big person. I was told by one of the comedians that the place has been run down compared to what a great space it used to be. Sad on the owner’s part.

Really nice, intimate theatre. Gotta mention that the seats are built in a way that no one was blocking anyones view, which is a rare thing in these older establisents. One star taken down for probably the worst Gin and Tonic I ever had at their bar downstairs, but yaknow

Nice little theater. Very friendly staff. Seats are very comfortable with excellent views from everywhere. It was seat yourself. Small bar and restrooms downstairs. Enjoyed the two actor adaptation of Jekyll and Hyde. Funny with some shocks. I will try to get back here for another show.

Small and Cozy theatre house. Can get very crowded and confusing very quickly. Still, its great watching a show there.

Nice small theater with a diversity of voices sharing their stories. Shout out to Latina Christmas Special!!

Small theatre, with a downstairs bar.Production of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde was good, putting the space to good use and atmospheric. Definitely not on the same scale as the shows on Broadway, but good. Makes for a nice evening out.

This establishment is aweful and should be boycotted widely. My husband and I planned a surprise for our parents. We bought 6 tickets for Ashley Blakers show Goy Friendly. Two days before the show, my grandfather passed away. I called in tears begging for a refund. I explained that we spent more money than we could afford to just lose. At first Lola was understanding and promised to get back to me. Two days later, just am hour ago, at my grandfathers funeral, I got a call from Lola telling me that her general manager (Britt Lafeld) and Ashley Blaker himself!! Said no to my refund. They offered me tickets to another show - all options fell during my grandfathers Shiva call. They wanted us to come to a comedy show in the middle of mourning my grandfather!!! Absolutely disgusting!!!! This is not what we would expect from a small community theater and we should not condone this behavior. #boycottsohoplayhouse

Great small venue. Bar in basement. Seat pitch very tight, tall people need an aisle seat.

Small intimate space. I love it. Ive gone to several shows there. Im small person and think the seats are just right. A larger person might feel very cramped. Bathrooms were an experience I would not like to repeat

Have to say the staff were fantastic but a few thing will make sure i never come back here, toilets were a joke with no hand towels or toilet paper but the main issue i had was with the seating, far too small and cramped for anyone over six feet, even now 2 weeks after the show i went to i am still suffering from extreme back pain, as is the other tall person i went with, if you changed the seating so it wasnt like sitting in a primary school class room then you might avoid these issue! but as i said the staff were fantastic and seemed sympathize with me when i asked if there was any better seating for taller people.

Intimate space with welcoming staff. Set design and production quality is high for a small theater. Seats are what you would find on Broadway, cushioned, but cramped. Also a bit worn out. In general, space feels dated. But a solid off Broadway venue overall.

Small and intimate venue. Can get very hot in the summer but every seat in the house is great. Went for a comedy show and was able to see and hear without it being too loud or overwhelming.

Latina Christmas Special was sooooo amazing.

Saw Reborning here. Good show, typical theater. The stage was very nicely set up. We were told that there is a bar downstairs but we didnt make use of it.

Loved the show I saw there Ashley Blaker

Very cozy theater with innovative conedy schticks.

. I took my boyfriend to see Josphine a Burlesque Cabernet Dream Play....It was AMAZING! We had abgreat time. We are interested in seeing more plays there.

Hit or miss on the performances and quality of the atmosphere. When its lit its lit but there isnt much of an in between or consistant flow of good nigbts.

Great show. Nice venue

Small but shows are unique with a bar at entrance. Love!

Nice little theatre. Has a small bar in th basement.

So far 3 enjoyable shows by Summer in 2019 and at least 2 were from some Fringe Festivals in Hollywood & beyond... Jekyll & Hyde was an awesome at minimizing the multi-character into a two-hander with wonderful and quick character changes Plus a malleable get minimalistic set, all used to great humor and from Vancouver, Reborning with nuanced & dynamic performances in a not-so-very-ordinary subject matter... Ill definitely be back!!!

Its a small area which can feel a little stuffy but I think it gives for a more intimate close style. We enjoyed watching Daniel Sloss (from row 2!!) and if I had the choice I would always pick somewhere small and quirky like here to see my favorite comedians. Especially when you get the chance to talk with them and take pictures right outside (which can only happen when its a small audience hence a small crowd). I loved this place but I did hear the avoid the restrooms so I cannot speak for that aspect if there are issues.

Intimate playhouse. Great plays. Easy to find. Right across the street from the train. Walking distance to Village hang outs for food and drinks. Great date night, friends or by yourself. I watched to plays and both where extremely good.

Small, intimate theater. Great place to feel liked you are part of the show. No bad seats in the house.

Great place to see off Broadway shows

Great small playhouse for limited products that can be very entertaining. The stage is small and seating count us small but comfortable and more personal.Restroom in basement accessable by staircase only.

Small theater. Hot, poor ventilation

Small theater. You can get drinks there and bring them to the show

See Fleabag! amazing show. theatre is tiny and has the world’s smallest seats, but the show is worth it. shoutout to Phoebe

They put on great shows here!

Bar downstairs was great, Taylor the bartender is fantastic. Bathrooms are a bit small but functional. Theater was comfortable and show was excellent!

Great performance... lOve the place!

Loved this small theater as well as the show!

Great off Broadway theater.

Had an awesome time attending Rap guide to culture

Intimate theatre with great shows!

Great little theater. Intimate.

Great place to see a show

Friendly little theatre with plenty of bar staff. Great off Broadway shows

Such a gross place. Our non profit hosted a sold out show at Soho Playhouse and the doorman “Mr. H” spewed sexists & racists comments toward female staff. After letting the manager Brian know, he did nothing except ask if the female employee had “done something” to cause the unprofessional employees rage. We reached out to the board members and they also did nothing but make excuses. With so many venues to choose from I suggest staying far away from such a racist & sexist establishment.

It is a small funky theater where many good performances are put on. The theater is not very wide, but does extend back a ways with many rows. Try not to sit in the very back. There is a good bar in the basement (which is also where the restrooms are located). The building is for sale- hopefully the theater will not be lost if it is sold.

Worst theater experience in the city. Confusing seating chart does not indicate that seats go up against the wall. I had a seat against the wall (thinking it was an aisle) and had a panic attack and had to leave within the first couple minutes of the play (Fleabag) because I couldnt stop crying. They tell you to come early and then seat you late and it is really hot in there. Smallest seats, even a child would be uncomfortable. When folks say its intimate, what they mean is old and gross.

Its a very intimate theatre. Very cozy.

Great venue but hot as hell. Everything felt slightly sticky. Intimate theater, comfortable but old/small seats. Nice funky bar downstairs but even hotter than up stairs. Friendly staff.

Show we saw was great, the complete experience not so much. Its a tight space when you enter, the box office immediately by the door. There was no-one there when we came in, but a few groups of people were crowded in, all waiting to pick up tickets. An employee came up and pretty much trekked at everyone telling them to go downstairs to the bar bc they were blocking the entrance. Down in the bar it was just as cramped bc thats where all the rest of the audience waiting to enter already was.The bar area was a bit dingy. The bartender was funny and nice. Not much space for the number of people they were trying to push down there. Despite the convenience, would rather have a drink a few blocks up.Someone amongst the crowd finally got information and passed word along that if you needed to pick up tickets not to worry just give your name when shattering the theatre. Would have been nice to have that info before hand, or a better system for wait areas.Other than that we enjoyed the visit and if another good show goes there, now that we know how will call works, dont mind going again.

Great place first great theater!!

Lovely location, but its getting a bit musty and the seats need help. The downstairs bar is sometimes used for shows as well, but its not really suitable -- theres no stage, and its the size of an average living room. Last show I saw there I felt bad for the actress, who probably booked the space from out of town without knowing.

Cool, unpretentious venue. Gets very warm by the end of the show so definitely recommend layers. Visited the basement bar for a few pre show drinks before seeing James Acaster who killed it. Will definitely keep an eye on the schedule for future shows. For those interested in a late night cap or meal on the fancy side after a show - its a quick walk to Blue Ribbon which stays open late.

It was my first time visiting the Soho Playhouse and i was very impressed. The vibes were excellent. I felt catered to and greatly satisfied with their Customer Service. I will be going back soon to chill and unwind

A larger than black box theater with a bar in the basement. A decent off Broadway house with a long history.

LOVELY HOSTESSINTRIGUING SHOWVERY FAIRLY PRICED FOR THE AREA ITS INCLEAN TIDY RESTROOM WITHOUT A LONG WAIT TO GET IN IT EITHER.CONVIENIENTLY LOCATED FOR FOLKS COMING IN FROM STATEN ISLAND OR NEW JERSEY

See plays or music or standup. Bar is downstairs..

Very interesting show...

Small antiquaited theatre premiering artsy productions...

Tiny theatre Big talents

Great digs. Saw a fun play with great talent. All seats great. Fun NY spot

Jesus, my knees hurt after sitting in my seat for 5 mins. Take out a row or two ffs.

Amazing, small off broadway theater. The venue has a basement bar where you can grab drinks before and after the show. The location is adjacent to a wide range of amazing restaurants and bars (in stark contrast to all the theaters in midtown).

I attended Daniel Sloss standup here. Cozy place

Good threat in SoHo. I visited a one person Broadway show. It was great. Theater feels cozy.

Just been to see James Acaster gig here. This place is everything you want from a comedy venue - well stocked snug bar, intimate venue and the staff are the friendliest/most helpful people Ive met in NYC so far - Steve on the door did us a proper solid getting us in last minute

Good show, just like everything Ive ever seen here for decades.

Enjoyed both shows I saw here. Very simple bar downstairs, theater is now paperless and seating is pretty comfortable

This theater always has interesting shows from all over the country and the world. Recently rap guide to consciousness blew me away. Prior to that I had the pleasure of experiencing Rakugo at SoHo playhouse - traditional Japanese storytelling that is hard pressed to find anywhere outside of Japan. I’m excited by the offerings at SoHo Playhouse and can’t wait to see what’s next!

Love their programming but the seats are very uncomfortable with less leg room than a small plane. Very, very dusty.

For a small venue, this one has everything you need - a bar, comfortable seats (cushy but tight rows), and good sightlines. My first show there, Rap Guide to Climate Chaos, was super!

Great little venue

Seeing the one man show was spectacular, this play should be on Broadway, and definately expanded.

Enjoyed the play but the venue is very small. My knees were touching the chair in front of me. The bathroom was tiny.

Josephine Baker story: Small theatre. Good seats. Drinks down at the bar. But the bartender needs to learn how to make margaritas. Worst ever, but best attitude when told we didnt like it.

Grest space and well run.

Hannah Gadsby is a beautiful force of nature. And yes her art is high art! Absolutely transformative experience...Powerful!Its was my first time at your theater. Loved IT Ill be back next Saturday night!

Intimate space, good location, central. Friendly customer service from all staff.

Gotham Rock choir was awesome. Playhouse... not so much.

The kind of intimate theater one hopes never vanishes from the NYC cultural scene.

Seats are a little small, but Im bigger than I used to be (arent we all). Bar downstairs was cozy, with great atmosphere and drinks before the show

Two live theater stages. Currently seeing a number of plays there as part of an alt Fringe fest. Good place for simple shows.

Lovely space to see off Broadway productions. Nostalgic in its old NY vibe.

Show I saw was great but the seats were so cramped.

Play was amazing. Actress had me in tears. Small room. Seats are not spacious. Close to chairs in front of you.

Easy to find, cozy spot with a friendly staff.

It’s a cute theater. It needs a bit of love but it’s a small room and there is no bad seats.

Fun time in this intimate venue, with Puddles Pity Party. Great show!

Small cozy venue for fringe performances

Nice place to see a small production
