Critical Acclaim

The original performance of the show was Off-Broadway in 2016 as a result of support from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Laurents/Hatcher Foundation, and the National Alliance for Musical Theatre’s National Fund for New Musicals. Within a year, in 2017, it opened on Broadway to exceptionally enthusiastic reviews.

The Twin Cities Art Reader stated that it was “one of the best new musicals of the year, gifted with a beautiful score and touching performances.” The New York Times likewise raved that it was “one of the most ravishing musicals you will ever be seduced by,” and also “a Broadway rarity seldom found these days outside of the canon of Stephen Sondheim: an honest-to-God musical for grown-ups.”

In the 2018 Tony Awards, it was nominated for an impressive 11, and won 10 awards. Out of those, they accomplished the unofficial “Big Six” of Tony Awards. In 2019, the album recording won the Grammy for Best Musical Theater Album.

Seating Recommendations

The Band’s Visit performances take place in the historic Ethel Barrymore Theatre in New York’s Theater District. Enjoy the ornate, beautiful decorations, but plan for the small seats of older theaters.

For the most legroom, reserve Rows A and N in the Orchestra section or an aisle seat.

For the best views of the stage, avoid the box seats which are partially obstructed, and instead go for the Center Orchestra section, Rows D-K or the Center Mezzanine section, Rows A-D.

For the best views for the price, buy Center Mezzanine, Rows C-F or Center Orchestra, Rows F-O. These tend to sell out quickly due to their great value.
