The Merriam Theatre is a nice venue for live theater. Mnay high-profile shows (such as "Movin Out" which toured here recently) grace this stage. Its location on the Avenue of the Arts makes it easily accessible via subway or vehicle with nearby parking. There are plenty of restaurants in the area. The venue itself is great for theater with good sound and lighting on the stage. The seating is mostly adequate although some top level (cheapest) seats have an obstructed view of the stage. The staff is helpful in helping patrons find their seats. The theater is well-maintained. Certainly a well-known venue for local theater and a good choice if you can stay away from the "Family Circle" cheap seats whenever possible.
