ALL MEZZANINE SEATS $39 AT ALL PERFORMANCES
“The two-time Tony® Award-winning "39 Steps" is a comedic spoof of the classic 1935 film, with only 4 "insanely talented" actors portraying more than 150 characters, sometimes changing roles in the blink of an eye. The brilliantly madcap story follows our dashing hero Richard Hannay as he races to solve the mystery of The 39 Steps, all the while trying to clear his name! The show’s uproarious fast-paced 100 minutes promises to leave you gasping for breath… in a good way!"
Ben Brantley of the New York Times called it “Absurdly enjoyable,” “A perfect soufflé,” and “Theatre at its finest.” Liz Smith of the New York Post called it “The most entertaining show on Broadway, ” and Joe Dziemianowicz of the Daily News said it’s “Ingenious! A Dizzy Delight!”

Rating: 5 out of 5 Funny, clever and totally enjoyable
by Troutguyx7 on 4/18/15Union Square Theatre - New YorkAn excellent, very busy, cast of 4 recreates the 39 Steps in a hilarious and imaginative way. Also salutes Hitchcock in multiple funny asides. Recommend that you view the original first, for full effect.

Rating: 4 out of 5 Good evening's entertainment
by BritNYC on 4/12/15Union Square Theatre - New YorkI had friends visiting from the UK who wanted to see something at the theatre. With 6 of us and a mix of adults & teenagers, we were looking for something entertaining but not likely to break the bank. The 39 Steps was a good choice. Not only because we got a great ticket price but also because it appealed to all of us. After a slow start, the production took off and took us all with it. There were some real laugh out loud moments. The cast were great. The theatre could probably do with a bit of TLC but it was comfortable & the seats were good with a great view & good acoustics. It was also nice to be able to take a drink into the auditorium. There was plenty of leg room too. All in all, a great evening out and I would recommend it for others.

by PaulfromNY on 4/11/15Union Square Theatre - New YorkI hadn't seen the Hitchcock movie of 39 steps in at least 20 years. Through my laughter, I began to recall it and all its intricacies. The actors are wonderful. That there are only 4 of them is astounding as only one plays just a single part...the rest appear repeatedly in distinctly different and funny roles. My hesitation to award it 5 Stars is that there were too many times that I (we) didn't understand their lines spoken with accents. Still go see it and you'll have a fun time.

by ShadyMan on 4/8/15Union Square Theatre - New YorkGood seats, very talented actors, and a funny play. If you go in knowing it will be a bit silly, you will enjoy it if you like fun shows. Do not go if you want singing or a dark brooding show.

by reeeeechard on 2/22/15Union Square Theatre - New York City39 Steps is a worldwide phenomenon and I'm so glad it's coming back to New York City. I saw it at least 10 times at the Helen Hayes Theatre and was surrounded by kids ranging from 8 to 17 years old - they giggled and laughed at the fast-paced theatrics! So I brought my best friend with his two daughters 8 and 12 and when we got home, they acted out some of the scenes in their own living room. This is a great show for everyone!
